Teaching Methodologies

The lectures will be given to students with a precise explanation of the mechanisms involved in operating procedures and regulation of the different systems of animals, in order to allow their survival and well-being. The explanation will be made with the support of appropriate computational techniques in order to stimulate students' understanding on the basis of operating interconnected, allowing homeostasis coordinated and avoiding thus the description of the facts in isolation. The practical classes will accompany the materials presented in lectures, complementing them. Computer simulations will be used to the advantage of its feasibility and lack of time on the scheduled times. The formal contact of students with the teacher will have a duration of 46 hours divided by 20 hours of lectures and 26 h theoretical/practical.
