Objectives
On completion of this course, students should be able to:
1- Identify and describe the anatomical structure of the main systems of the human body, including the skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary and endocrine systems.
2- Understand the physiology of the different systems of the human body, analyzing the basic mechanisms that regulate their functions.
3- Explain the relationship between the various body systems, understanding how they work together to maintain homeostasis.
4- Distinguish the basic processes of physiological regulation, such as neural and hormonal control mechanisms.
5- Relate the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology to everyday situations and basic human movement activities.
6- Apply basic concepts of anatomy and physiology to the interpretation of vital signs and normal body functions.
7- To have a solid base of knowledge to support more advanced disciplines in the field of sport.

Evaluation Methodology
1 Continuous Evaluation
Assessment procedure characterized by two written tests.
The student is considered approved when the final result from the arithmetic mean of the tests ((a+b)/2=x) is equal to or greater than 9.5 values.
Participation in this evaluation process is subject to a minimum rating of 7.5 values in both tests. It is mandatory for the student to attend at least two thirds of the scheduled classes.
Students who are not successful in the continuous evaluation process will be able to take the exam in the following seasons, as provided for in the assessment regulations.
2 Exam Evaluation
Access to the regular, appeal and special exams follows the provisions of the current assessment regulations.
In an exam, written or oral, the student's knowledge of all the syllabus of the curricular unit will be assessed.
The exam, at any time, consists of a written test and an oral test, with the minimum score for admission to the oral test being 7.5 values.
The oral test will take place 48 hours after the publication of the written test score, considering only working days for the period.
The student's final classification in the exam will result from the following formula: Final Classification = [(Written test)+(Oral test)/2].
The student is considered to have passed the exam if the final classification is equal to or greater than 9.5 values.
