There are no official prerequisits. However, a basic knowledge of Cell Biology and Histology of tissues is recommended.
This is an obligatory subject in the 2n year, concerning the cellular and tissue bases of human organs and systems. It has been designed assuming students have a basic knowledge of Histology and Physiology that will facilitate they acquire a comprehensive understanding and an integrated approach to the organization of human organs.
The subject gives the basic knowledge to undertand the subject of Anatomy of pathology next year.
The main goals of the subject are:
a) Understand the cellular and tissular organization of the different organs and systems of the human body.
b) Recognize and identify at the microscopic level the different organs and systems of the human body.
c) Relate the tissular composition of the organs with their function.
Themes:
1. Integumentary system
2. Sensory organs
3. Cardiovascular system
4. Immune system
5. Endocrine system
6. Respiratory system
7. Digestive system
8. Excretory system
9. Male reproductive system
10. Female reproductive system
The contents of Systems Histology include theoretical lectures and seminars.
Theory classes
The theory program will be taught in 38 classes. They will be carried out using audiovisual material prepared by
teacher, material that the students will have at their disposal in the Virtual Campus.
Seminars
The scheduled seminars are designed for students to work in small groups, and acquire
group work and critical reasoning skills. The students will be divided into groups to work on a topic
specific of the program for the subsequent oral presentation and collective discussion. The organization of the groups and the
distribution of topics to be discussed will be made during the first seminar. In the remaining seminars, some groups
of students will have to submit the proposed topic to the teacher in writing. The same groups of students will exhibit
orally the topic to the rest of the class with the media available in the classroom.
The bibliography that the students must use, as well as the scientific works related to the subjects, is
they will find collected in the Virtual Campus.
Attendance at the seminars is mandatory
Tutorials
Tutoring will take place in a personalized way in the teacher's office (hours to be agreed). The tutorials
they must be used to clarify concepts, establish the knowledge acquired and facilitate the study by the students
students. They can also be used to resolve any doubts that students may have about their preparation
seminars
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The skills of this subject will be assessed through continuous assessment, which will include
individual tests of theoretical and practical knowledge and group seminars.
The evaluation system is organized in three sections, each of which is evaluated independently and will have
assigned a specific weight in the final grade of the subject:
Written tests (80% of the overall mark): In this section, the
knowledge achieved by each student. There will be two partial tests, eliminatory subject,
throughout the course and a final recovery test (see course schedule).
Students who have obtained a grade lower than 4 (out of 10) in any of these tests will not be able to
weight it with the grade obtained in the seminars and, therefore, they will have to take the recovery exam a
the final maturity test.
Seminars (20% of the overall mark). In this section, the students' ability to analyze and synthesize is assessed
of each group, as well as group work and oral presentation skills.
The seminars will be assessed as follows:
Written work (20%). The teacher evaluates (out of 10) the works submitted by each group of students
(see deliveries)
Oral presentation (40%). The teacher evaluates (out of 10) the abilities of each group of students in the
public presentation of their work
Inter-group qualification (10%). Each group of students evaluates (out of 10) the groups that carry out the exhibition
oral of work
Problems (30%).
Attendance at seminars is mandatory. In case of not attending any of the sessions, for no reason
justified, there will be a penalty in the final grade of the seminars:
Absence 1 session = reduction of 20% of the grade.
Absence 2 sessions = reduction of 40% of the grade.
Absence 3 sessions = reduction of 80% of the grade.
Passing the subject
To pass the subject, at least 5 points out of 10 must be obtained in the overall calculation of the tests
theory papers andseminars.
The presentation of the student to any remedial exam (theory and/or practical) entails the waiver of
the previously obtained qualification.
To participate in the recovery, students must have previously been assessed in a set of weight activities
of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total qualification of the subject. So,
the student will obtain the qualification of "Not assessable" when the assessment activities carried out have one
weighting lower than 67% in the final qualification.
Unique assessment:
This subject foresees the single assessment system. In this sense, this consists of a synthesis test
only one that will coincide with the same date fixed in the calendar for the last continuous assessment test (2nd term)
and the same system will be applied in case of need for recovery.
Repeater students
Regarding the passing of the subject by the repeaters, it will not be necessary to repeat the written tests or
the seminars if the student had previously obtained a minimum grade of 5 in any of these tests.
This exemption will be maintained for a period of three additional registrations.
