AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The teaching of splancnology aims to reach the knowledge of the structure of their different organs of the human body  and the understanding of how they are interconnected for the performance of their normal function. Understanding what was discussed during the course should provide the student with the basics to deepen specific topics of interest in the human splanchnic organs in complete autonomy.

TEACHING METHODS

The teaching activity will consist of 20 hours of lectures, during which, with the use of visual supports, will be able to illustrate and discuss all the subjects required for the knowledge at the moment of the final assessment.
