Description
This course establishes the basic knowledge necessary to understand Assisted Human Reproduction, mainly from a medical point of view.
We will review the anatomy of the female and male reproductive systems, as well as reproductive physiology, explaining in detail the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis that manages the function of the reproductive system.
The aim is for students to understand the dynamics of the female menstrual cycle, which hormones control these changes and the consequences of the adequate functioning of the gonads at the local and systemic level. We will focus on women, but we will also consider the male factor. We will analyze the age factor in both women and men and study some agents that negatively affect fertility such as obesity or pathologies like the polycystic ovary syndrome.
Important information:
The online course will be carried out through the e-learning platform: IVIRMA Campus. The student will receive a message with the access information and credentials 24/48 hours before the start of the course.
IVIRMA Campus can be accessed from Windows computers (7, 8 or 10) or Mac, using Chrome or Firefox in its last three versions. Access from mobile devices is not supported and does not ensure the correct operation of the course.
To successfully complete the training and obtain the corresponding certificate, the student must obtain a percentage greater than or equal to 70% of correct answers in the final evaluation. To do this, you will have two opportunities to take the exam.
