Human Physiology I

- Know and understand the functions that the nervous system, the endocrine systems and
reproductive, and blood in the activity of the human organism.
- Understand the integration mechanisms and how the organism behaves as a functional unit
In the case of repeating students, they will not have to repeat - if they do not wish to - the practices in the case of having done them in previous calls.
The evaluation criteria in the second opportunity of the call will be the same as in the first opportunity.

"In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and the review of grades will apply."

Expository Classes and Interactive Classes: Face-to-face in the Classroom. It can be combined with synchronous virtual teaching up to 10% of the total hours of the subject.
Laboratory practices: Face-to-face in the laboratory.
Tutorials: Face-to-face.


The realization of practices is obligatory being essential for the evaluation.

(MINIMUM /MAXIMUM)
Exam 50%/100%
Problem solving/exercises 0%/50%
Laboratory practices 0%/50%
Exhibition and oral presentation of works 0%/50%
Projects (with possible presentation and defense) 0%/50%

The evaluation will consist of:

1) A final test. 90% of the total final grade.
It will consist of two blocks. Each part will have a 4.5-point rating; it will be necessary to achieve a grade equal to or greater than 2 points in each block.

Theoretical and practical contents. It can consist of test questions (true/false, multiple choice and single answer) and/or short questions. The value of this test will be 9 points. It will be necessary to achieve a minimum up to 4.5 points out of 9 of the totals of the exam to assess the rest of the merits.

2) An ongoing evaluation. 10% of the total final grade. Participation in the activities proposed in the interactive classes and the resolution of tests related to the theoretical/practical content will be valued (problem solving/exercises, oral presentation/defense of works/projects, etc.).

In the case of repeat students, they will not have to repeat - if they do not wish - the internships in the case of having done so in previous calls. They need to repeat the interactive classes.

The evaluation criteria in the second opportunity of the call will be the same as in the first opportunity.

The realization of the practices is compulsory and essential for the evaluation.

In case of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations will be applied to evaluate the academic performance of students and review the grades.
