General description O propósito desta materia é abordar o coñecemento e comprensión da función dos sistemas do organismo humano de forma integrada, é decir os mecanismos que o organismo utiliza para manter en equilibrio todas as súas funcións e as interrelacións entre elas. Comprender as alteracións que se producen cando fallan os mecanismos de compensación fisiolóxicos e as súas manifestacións.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Problem solving In this activity the teacher presents orally a problem and some learning objectives within the framework of the fundamental objectives of the subject.
Case study Case studies, usually in groups, using two types of activity:
- Learning based on problem solving
- Collaborative work
Supervised projects In this activity students improve their knowledge based on troubleshooting
Oral presentation Activity in which students present oral contents / results of the objectives of problem solving and its opportunity is discussed.
Laboratory practice Activity in an animal model in order to see "in vivo" the learned phenomena in the theoretical presentations
Mixed objective/subjective test Written test with short question and / or multiple choice test, and a practical case to evaluate the acquired knowledge.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Supervised projects
Description
The personal attention related to the supervised works aims to guide students in the realization of this kind of works. This could be done individually or in small groups, either in person or via email.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Oral presentation A1 A2 A11 B8 B12 C1 C3 The test consists of the presentation of the results of the supervised projects or the study cases. The score out will be a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10. The minimum passing score for the test is 5. The average rating is added to the end of the examination provided that the test is passed. 10
Case study A1 A2 A11 B8 B13 C1 C3 C4 C6 C7 Case studies presented in class through discussion and setting learning objectives will be held in small groups. 20
Mixed objective/subjective test A1 A2 A11 The test will consist of short questions and / or multiple choice questions, related to the theoretical content, readings, case studies and supervised work.
The test score out will be between 0 and 10. The minimum passing score for the test is 5. In the second and subsequent calls the value of the test represent 100% of the course grade.

Supervised projects A1 A2 A11 B1 B8 B12 C1 C3 C6 C7 The evaluation of the work will based on the following topics:
. Description and synthesis of the information.
. Using specific lexicon.
It will count as a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10. The minimum score to pass the test will be 5. The average rating is added to the exam as long as the test is passed.
