According to the Table of Prerequisites and Incompatibilities of the Medical Degree Curriculum, in order to pass MORPHOLOGY, STRUCTURE AND INTEGRATED FUNCTION OF THE HUMAN BODY it is necessary to have passed the first year subjects BIOLOGY, BIOCHEMISTRY I, HISTOLOGY, HUMAN ANATOMY I, HUMAN ANATOMY II and PHYSIOLOGY.
Timetables can be consulted at: https://www.uclm.es/es/ciudad-real/medicina/Grado/justificacion/planificaciondocente
The subject "Integrated Morphology, Structure and Function of the Human Body" belongs to Module I (Morphology, Structure and Function of the Human Body) and to Subject 1.2 (Development, Structure and Function of the Healthy Human Body at Tissue, Organ and Systems Level) of the Teaching Plan of Medicine. It is a compulsory subject, with 33 ECTS and is taught throughout the second year.
The Study Plan of the Degree in Medicine is adapted to the requirements established in the Royal Decree 1393/2007, of October 29th (B. O. E. of October 30th, 2007), in the Order ECI/332/2008, of February 13th (B. O. E. of February 15th, 2008) and in the agreements adopted by the Medicine Degree Commission of May 28th, 2008 and June 30th, 2008. According to current legislation, the degree of Graduate in Medicine consists of 360 ECTS distributed over 6 academic years and structured in at least 5 modules, with defined competences, as the medical profession is a regulated profession. The five modules of common subjects are defined by the content of the subjects that include compulsory subjects for the Degree in Medicine. The sixth module has been defined according to the optional nature of the subjects that comprise it. In the first two years of the degree the necessary basic preclinical subjects are taught (Modules 1 and 2) that will provide students with the necessary elements for the foundation of the clinical knowledge and medical skills that they will acquire later (Modules 3, 4, 5 and 6), promoting the early insertion of students in health centers.
The subject therefore includes the study and knowledge of the different systems that make up the body and its functions in the state of health and is designed for medical students to acquire all those skills that enable them to understand the multiple forms of destabilization of the balance that we call health, to fall into the disease. But it also provides them with the skills they will need during their professional practice, not only to restore and maintain the balance through healing, but also to prevent and avoid pathological situations. And all this, from a basic approach, but in a context of cooperation and collaboration with professionals from different disciplines, within a scientific and clinical environment.
It is necessary to pass the subject of Integrated Morphology, Structure and Function of the Human Body to pass the following subjects:
- Human Pathology I (M3.2).
- Human Pathology II (M3.3)
- Pathologies of the Skin (M3.4)

Continuous assessment:A student enrolled for the first time in a subject is entitled to two calls during the academic year:
1. Ordinary call: it comprises the continuous evaluation of all theoretical and practical activities reflected in the timetable attending to the conditions described in the teaching guide of the subject and the minimum attendance requirements to pass the subject.
2. Extraordinary call: It includes the evaluation exclusively of the failed part of the subject in the ordinary call. It consists of a theoretical exam and/or a practical exam. The rest of the marks of the practical part will be those obtained during the course in reports, seminars, presentations, assignments, participation and attitude.
In case of failing the course the first time it is taken, for the following academic year there will be two of this three options:
1. Ordinary call: within this call, two modalities can be chosen:
a. Attendance mode: It includes the continuous evaluation of all theoretical and practical activities reflected in the timetable, complying with the conditions described in the teaching guide of the subject, as if the subject was taken for the first time. Thus, the grades obtained in the previous year will not be taken into account.
b. Non-attendance mode: It includes the evaluation of only the failed part of the subject in the previous course through a theoretical exam and/or a practical exam per semester on the same date as the final exam of each semester. The marks for practical exams other than the practical exam will be kept from the previous course. This modality can only be chosen in the case of having taken the subject in the ordinary call in the previous academic year.
2. Extraordinary call: It includes the evaluation of only the failed part of the subject in the ordinary call either of the current academic year, if the student has chosen the ordinary on-site call, or of the previous academic year, in the rest of the cases. It will consist of a theoretical and/or a practical exam. The rest of the marks of the practical part will be those of the current or previous course. In the case of not having taken the ordinary on-site exam in the current or previous academic year, the grades of previous exams will not be taken into account, since only one course will be kept.
3. Special final exam: This includes the evaluation of only the failed part of the subject in the previous academic year. This call can only be requested in key subjects. It will consist of a theoretical exam and/or a practical exam. The rest of the marks of the practical part will be those of the previous course. In the case of not having taken the ordinary on-site exam in the current or previous course, the grades of previous exams will not be taken into account since only one course will be kept.
These conditions will only be maintained in the academic year consecutive to the ordinary on-site call of a subject. The grade of the practical or theoretical part passed will only be kept if the minimum attendance requirements to pass the subject described in the electronic guide have been met.
If the subject is not passed in the second academic year, the same biannual cycle criteria described for the first and second year of enrollment will be followed in the third and successive odd numbered years of enrollment.
ORDINARY CALL:
Theoretical evaluation:
70% distributed in:
- 50% module exams: (M1: 5%, M2: 5%; M3: 5%, M4: 5%, M5: 5%, M6: 3%, M7: 3%, M8: 3%, M9: 3%, M10: 3%. Total 40 %)
- 20% final semester exams: M1-5 (20%) y M6-10 (10%).
To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain 40% of this 70%, which means, at least, 2.8 points in the theoretical part of the 10 total points of the course and to fulfill the requirements of the section "Evaluation criteria".
For the module exams (50% of the grade, i.e. 5 points) no minimum grade is established, so all grades obtained will be added together.
For the final exams (20% of the grade, i.e. 2 points) a minimum grade equal to 40% of the maximum grade to be achieved in each final exam is established. In order to favor the weight of the continuous evaluation in the final grade, not reaching the minimum grade established will not mean the impossibility to pass the course, but the points of that final exam will not be added to the rest of the points obtained.
Evaluation of practices, presentations, problems, assignments, participation and attitude:
30% valued jointly as follows for basic subjects:
- DISSECTION EXAMS: M2, 5, 7 and 10 (8 %; 2% each).
- PRACTICES AND PHYSIOLOGY SEMINARS (8 %). 2 exams: M1-5 (5%), M6-10 (3%).
The presentation of the practice notebook is essential for the completion of both exams.
- PRACTICE EXAMS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND DIAGNOSIS OF HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURES (6%): M1, 3, 5, 7 y 10 (Total 3%) and final semester exams (2% first semester and 1% second semester).
- PARTICIPATION AND ATTITUDE (8 %).
To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain 40% of the 30%, which represents at least 1.2 points in the practical part of the 10 total points of the course and to fulfill the requirements of the section "Evaluation Criteria" that appears in the electronic guide.
EXTRAORDINARY CALL, SPECIAL FINAL CALL, ORDINARY NON-ATTENDANCE CALL:
Theoretical evaluation: exam with a weight of 70%. To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain 40% of this 70%, which means at least 2.8 points in the theoretical part of the 10 total points of the course and meet the requirements of the section "Evaluation criteria". In case of having passed the theoretical part of the course in the current or previous year, the grade obtained in the last exam will be maintained.
Practical evaluation: to pass the course it will be necessary to obtain 40% of the 30%, which means at least 1.2 points in the practical part of the 10 total points of the course and to fulfill the requirements of the section "Evaluation criteria". In case of having passed the practical part in the current or previous course, the grade obtained in the last exam will be maintained.
There will be a Practice Exam and the results obtained in the OSCE of the previous ordinary on-site exam, either of the current or previous year, will be taken into account. -
Non-continuous evaluation:See what is described in the previous point.
