Pathological and Systematic Anatomy I

Biomedical Laboratory Sciences
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    Pathological anatomy is a discipline that combines fundamental science and clinical practice. The information gained during the study of morphological changes in organs, tissues and cells induced by pathological processes and human diseases serves as a basic knowledge for further development of the essential diagnostic and treatment skills. In this course we study the general conditions (associated with pathological processes) and systemic, nosological (associated with diseases) and pathological anatomy.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    Cardiovascular system pathology. Respiratory system pathology. Digestive tract pathology. Pathology of liver and principal and accessory bile duct. Pathology of endocrine and exocrine pancreatic and salivary glands. Pathology of the urinary tract. Pathology of skin.
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    Identify and characterize the different pathologies in the different organs / tissues; Identify microscopically technical errors made during the laboratory techniques; Understand the role of Pathology as a medical specialty in the diagnosis and definition of the therapeutic strategy of patients; Be able to interpret correctly and critically the information contained in anatomic pathology reports and recognize the need to establish an anatomical-clinical correlation. Integrate the general concepts of Pathology in pivotal clinical models of human disease. To compare the contents of this course with the knowledge acquired in Pathophysiology.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    Innovative methodologies supporting the teaching-learning process favour an active, participatory, and student-centred approach, linking theoretical knowledge with application in a diagnostic context. Learning based on clinical and anatomic pathology cases develops diagnostic reasoning, analytical skills, critical interpretation, and anatomic-clinical correlation. The use of microscopic images, anatomic pathology reports, multimedia resources, simulations, and guided case discussions supports the understanding of morphological changes in different organs and systems. The analysis of examples of technical laboratory errors reinforces the quality of procedures and the proper interpretation of microscopic findings. These methodologies encourage autonomy, critical thinking, integration with Physiopathology, and preparation for professional practice in Anatomic Pathology.
