The questionnaires are available to the student in the Moodle platform, where they will be answered.
-C) Interpretation of microscopic images of animal and vegetal organs obtained in several web pages of special histology/organography, where they will treat to identify different appearances of the anatomy of the organs studied .

Likewise it will put to disposal of the student a cronograma detailed of the activities to develop during the cuatrimestre and a complete version of the educational guide in the platform Moodle.
Objective test It will realise a final examination on the theoretical and practical contents of the subjet, in the official date fixed by the Board of Faculty.
- The students that have not surpassed the official examination of the Announcement of May, or have not presented to the same will be able to examine in the Announcement of Julio.
