Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Acquire knowledge and skills about the structure and function of (1) Blood, (2) Circulatory System (Heart and Vessels) and (3) Respiratory System in an integrated perspective, in terms of its anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry and biophysics.
Relate, in an integrated way, the functioning of the circulatory and respiratory systems and also address changes related to the pathology (including genetic, congenital and environmental-caused diseases) and pharmacological aspects
Develop oral and written communication skills. Encourage the use of creative and critical skills (critical analysis of the bibliography)
Become familiar with medical practice through the use of specific terminology, clinical cases, seminars, study visits/classes in a hospital environment. Provide the student with a motivating experience in a clinical context, complementary to their academic training (Carrying out a volunteer work at a Health Unit).

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%)
