Área Científica Ciências Biomédicas
Learning outcomes Provide students with a detailed knowledge of the anatomy and ocular physiology of the anterior pole. At the end of this curricular unit the student must know and describe the embryonic system of the different structures of the ocular system and the ocular vascular system. It should be able to describe and locate the structures associated with the eyeball, recognize the anatomical and functional relationships between them and interrelate them. It should also be able to apply techniques of exploration of the anterior pole of the eyeball and annexes.
Syllabus (1) Ocular embryology; (2) orbits, (3) ocular annexes (extraocular muscles, eyelids and tear system); (6) conjunctiva, (7) cornea, (8) sclera, (9) iridocorneal angle and anterior chamber, (10) iris, (11) pupil, posterior chamber and aqueous humor, (12) ciliar body, (13) crystalline and zonula; (14) ocular exploration techniques of the anterior pole (biomicroscopy and evaluation of the diagnostic positions of the eye).
Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The content development will be carried out based on a theoretical approach through the presentation of the program contents in digital support, as well as through the transmission of knowledge of a theoretical and practical nature using laboratories. The student will be evaluated through theoretical and practical tests.
Complement to self-study learning.
