Musculoskeletal system, the skin and appendages: study of the structure and function of the main tissues; mechanisms for regulating body temperature; alterations related to pathologies, genetic, congenital and caused by environmental causes, and pharmacological aspects for both systems
Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Acquire knowledge and skills about the structure and function of: the Musculoskeletal System (SME); of the Skin and appendages, in an integrated perspective in terms of its anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry and biophysics.
Acquire skills in the identification and characterization of skeletal tissues and the main human pathologies associated with SME, symptoms and diagnostic methods.
Changes throughout the evolution and adaptations of the SME to the environment and way of life.
Acquire skills in identifying and characterizing the skin and appendages and the main associated pathologies, symptoms and diagnostic methods.
Become familiar with medical practice and terminology, discuss clinical cases, and participate in clinical seminars
Develop skills in oral and written communication, group work, and critical analysis.
Educating for health, providing students with knowledge, attitudes and values to help make decisions that involve the promotion and improvement of health.

Teaching Methods
Classes T, TP, S, OT:
T, TP and S given by expository method with slide and/or film projection
T for teaching syllabus
TP for description of medical practice in which students participate in the discussion or presentation of topics
S integrators and illustrative of the matter by guest lecturers
TO for clarification of doubts and support for carrying out the work
TP and S are mandatory (75% attendance)
The evaluation is done by a final exam (theoretical and written) that covers all the contents of the UC with a single test (80%) + Work presentation (20%)
