Learning outcomes The main objective is to develop a functional understanding of the morphology and functioning of the organs and systems of the human body. The student must demonstrate: 1. Understanding the object of study of anatomy and physiology and its context in sports sciences; 2. Knowledge and ability to understand the anatomo-physiological mechanisms related to the movement of the human body, considering the nervous and musculoskeletal systems and the systems that contribute to homeostasis; endocrine-metabolic, blood, cardiocirculatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, skin and appendages; 3. Identify the anatomical aspects of the musculoskeletal, central and peripheral nervous, endocrine, cardiocirculatory and respiratory, digestive, urinary systems and understand the physiological properties of each; 4. Understanding the importance of the various systems in maintaining body temperature; 5. Basic understanding of the development and aging process.
