Learning outcomes |
The UC aims to study the anatomy and histophysiology of the nephro-urinary and reproductive systems, in an integrated perspective. At the end of UC the student should be able to: Describe the anatomy and histology of nephro-urinary and reproductive organs Explain the different functions of the kidney and the micturition process Explain the function of reproductive organs Characterize the regulation of male and female reproductive physiology Characterize puberty Describe the sexual act Explain the processes of fertilization, implantation, and placental function Characterize the physiology of pregnancy, childbirth and lactation Characterize the changes associated with menopause and climacteric Apply knowledge in problem solving Demonstrate ability to work as a team Synthesize information and present it orally
