Learning outcomes At the end of this curricular unit, students should be able to understand the organization and function of cells, describe the organs and the structures associated to each system, and recognize the anatomical and functional relationships between them. The students must understand the mechanisms associated with physiology, and functional aspects related to the anatomical and histological characteristics. The students should know how to synthesize information and communicate it clearly and accurately to colleagues; have developed the ability to work in team to solve problems and in the acquisition of knowledge; adopt general measures of infection control; apply first aid techniques; perform basic support of life in according to international recommendations; recognize the importance of adopting a professional attitude.
