Learning Outcomes
The module aims to provide the basics of human anatomy,
microscopic and macroscopic, fundamental for medical practice. The
notions are presented during frontal teaching activities, exercises
of macro and microscopic anatomy, using a dissection table
virtual (Anatomage) and through video materials made available on the
DIR platform
Prerequisites
Students must have the knowledge provided by Anatomy I
and Anatomy II, in addition to the indispensable knowledge of biology and histology.
Teaching Methods
Frontal lessons with the help of power point presentations, table for
virtual dissection Anatomage, discussion of clinical cases.
Preparation of images
three-dimensional concerning structures related to the course program students may attend ADO / ADE activities, and,
in the Human Anatomy laboratory, to follow research experiments
on tissue engineering.

Assessment Methods
Assessment of learning is conducted via an written test. The written test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions (5 options per question, with only one correct answer).
A minimum score of 24 correct answers out of 40 is required to pass the test.
The grade for the Human Anatomy III exam will contribute to the overall grade for the "Anatomy and Physiology II" Integrated Course.
