Brief Description
The subject of Human Anatomy and Embryology begins with the study of anatomical terminology
and nomenclature to understand the description of structures and the location and spatial
relationship of the human body’s organs; it continues with the historical precedents that have led us
up to our current anatomy and shows us the bases of the organization of the human body in the
different stages of life. It also provides the bases to know and understand the changes in the
maturation of the female and male sperm cells, the morphogenetic processes that happen in the
human being from fertilization and implantation of the zygote up to birth, as well as the organization
and function of the fetal membranes and of the placenta. Later, it specifically goes into the
development and differentiation of the organs, apparatuses and systems, and the bases to
understand the processes that give place to malformations and their complications are then
explained. Finally, the different body apparatuses and systems are studied from a descriptive,
topographic, functional and clinical point of view, with special relevance placed on the human body
in its state of health and of illness.
Prerequisites
None.
Objectives
1. To familiarize the student with the international anatomical language and nomenclature.
2. To acquire autonomous study habits and reasoned learning.

Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Public Health Module: Introduction to Dentistry.
Subject: Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Public Health.
Level: Basic.
No. of Credits: 6 ECTS.
Academic Session: 1st Course – 1st Semester.
Course Professors: Fernando Cánovas García.
E-mail: [email protected]
Office Hours: Prior request for appointment by Virtual Campus.
Professor coordinating the Module: Ana I. López Navas.
Brief Description
Biostatistics is the application of statistical analysis of data to biological and health sciences. All
surveys that assess options chosen by voters, products that consumers prefer, pain relief provided
by a certain drug, the harm to health caused by a sedentary lifestyle… these are analyzed with the
same methods of statistical analysis.
Knowing the rationale and not the mathematical fundamentals of this subject is necessary for
scientists and professionals of this century as it allows them to understand important aspects of
information inaccessible to those who ignore these basic concepts. These methods are becoming a
necessary tool in all research fields.
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events
(including disease), and the application of this study to the control of diseases and other health
problems. Various methods can be used to carry out epidemiological research: surveillance and
descriptive studies can be used to study distribution; analytical studies are used to study
determinants.
Public Health is the organized efforts of a society aimed at protecting, encouraging, and promoting
the welfare of the population when it is healthy, and to restoring its health when needed, and if
necessary, rehabilitating and including the sick, integrating them into their social, labor and cultural
environment. Dentistry contributes significantly to the development of public health with the

Biochemistry and Immunology Module: Biomedical Sciences.
Subject: Biochemistry and Immunology.
Level: Basic.
No. of Credits: 6 ECTS.
Academic Session: 1st Course – 1st Semester.
Course Professors: José Antonio Pellicer Balsalobre.
E-mail: [email protected]
Office Hours: As needed (prior request for appointment by e-mail).
Professor coordinating the Module: Sonia Sánchez Bautista.
Brief Description
The aim of Biochemistry and Immunology is to provide students with the necessary knowledge to
understand the structure of biomolecules, metabolism and the molecular mechanisms involved in
regulation and metabolic integration. Furthermore, it is necessary to know and understand the basic
aspects of how the immune system works in health and in sickness; this implies studying its
structure and organization, its functions, and the main dysfunctions that lead to disease.
A general objective will be to convey to the students the need to clearly understand the ever
increasing influence that the remarkable growth of Biochemistry and Immunology exerts on the
sciences in general. Nowadays, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are considered the most
powerful tool to interpret biological phenomena and to be able to advance within the knowledge of
the molecular bases of diseases and their treatment. The dentist will deal directly with biochemical
processes, albeit only scarcely, and must acquire a sufficient biochemical background to understand
and rationally use the advancements within this area that continually modify the practice of their
profession.
In relation to immunology, students will get a deep insight into: (I) the different organs and cellular
and molecular elements responsible for the induction and maintenance of immune response, (II) the
main physiological processes responsible for maintaining a balanced state of health, (III) the
alterations related to diseases that arise as a result of excessive or deficient immune responses
which are harmful to the body, either because of their aggressive nature, such as those derived
from inflammatory or allergic states, or from autoimmune processes, or because of their tolerant or
limited action against infectious diseases, tumors, or deficiencies of the immune system itself, and,
(IV) the use of pharmacological agents or therapeutic methods aimed at controlling the dysfunction
of the immune system or which are relevant to the prevention of human disease or to a degree in
Dentistry.

Brief Description
Histology is a theoretical and practical subject which (as its name implies: “histo” meaning tissue
and “logy” meaning study) analyzes the microscopic structure of the various tissues, and its
dependent relationship with their role, and its organization to form organs and systems that
constitute the human anatomy. The concepts learned in this course, along with anatomical,
physiological, and biochemical knowledge, will allow students to correctly recognize structures and
their normal functional state as a basis to further evaluate abnormal structures and functions in
future clinical practice.
Prerequisites
None.
Objectives
1. To analyze the normal organization of cells, tissues, and organs of the human being and to
correlate their structure with their function.
2. To recognize the importance of the study of histological morphological functionality within the
scope of its study, applying it later in the preclinical field during the study of the career, and
finally in professional practice.
3. To analyze the normal organization of cells, tissues, and organs of the human being and to
correlate their structure with their function.

Relationship to Other Courses of the Study Plan The two Language courses are closely related to each other and to the other modules, subjects, and courses. Students should be aware of the importance of the Spanish language both in the search of specific bibliographies within the theoretical and practical fields, and in the dissemination of scientific and research progress in dentistry.
Grading System For the June/September Sessions:
1. Theoretical exams (50%): Exams (or evaluative tests) will be carried out with theoretical-practical questions and resolution of assumptions that include the contents of the material studied.
2. Practical exams (40%): The practicums and/or seminars will be evaluated through different grading systems (practical exercises, completion and exhibition of projects, clinical cases, etc.…) that include the practical content worked on.
3. Academic tutorials (10%):: The student’s participation will be evaluated though different means such as forums, chats, videoconferences, self-evaluations, activities proposed by the professor, and/or debates.
The student shall pass the subject when the weighted average is equal to or greater than 5 points and all the parts that make up the grading system have been passed, with an overall weight equal to or greater than 20%.
If the student has less than 5 in any of the parts with a weight equal to or greater than 20%, the subject will be suspended, and the student must retake the part(s) in the next session within the same academic year. The suspended part(s) in official sessions (February/June) will be saved for successive sessions that are held in the same academic year.
In the event that the subject is not passed in the September session, the passed parts will not count for successive academic years.
The grading system (RD 1.125/2003. of September 5) shall be the following:
0-4.9 Suspended (SS)
5.0-6.9 Passed (AP)
7.0-8.9 Excellent (NT)
9.0-10 Outstanding (SB)
Honorable mention may be granted to students who have earned a grade equal to or greater than 9.0. This number may not exceed 5% of the total number of students enrolled in a subject in the corresponding academic year, unless the number of students enrolled is less than 20, in which case only a single honorable mention may be granted.

Study Recommendations The professor recommends attending not only the minimum 60% of classes required for continued evaluation, but also to be able to regularly participate and take full advantage of the activities aimed at improving oral and written skills in Spanish.
It is necessary for students to regularly consult the UCAM Virtual Campus, since important updates and announcements for the course will be added throughout the semester. The work units (with the class material, self-study annexes, and keys for self-correction) will also be uploaded regularly to this virtual platform.
Students are invited to have a positive, participatory, and collaborative attitude in class. Only then will they be able to get the most out of the activities and materials of the subject. It is important for students to keep up with the material. This, in addition to allowing them to perform on the evaluation tests with greater success, will help them put the knowledge they have learned in previous sessions into practice in class. Finally, the use of computers or other electronic devices (including mobile phones) will not be permitted during the classes and exams.
Teaching Materials Students will have a manual prepared by the professor in which all the aforementioned teaching units are found. These units contain explanations, activities, texts, translations, and clinical cases that the student must complete throughout the course. Different audiovisual materials (videos, recordings, pictures, etc.) will also be used as a fundamental complement in the different teaching units.
Tutorials Brief Description
In academic tutorials, the focus will be to work on Decree No. 359/2009, of October 30th, which establishes and regulates the educational response to the diversity of students in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia.
