Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | By the end of this course, the student will have a comprehensive knowledge of the principal systems, their functions, the regulation of their activities and their integration in the organism homoeostasis. Finally, the students will have an overview of the principal dysfunctions of these systems that lead to diverse pathological states. This course should provide sufficient background to follow further specialised courses of pathology and pharmacology. |

The course covers the functional physiology specific to the different systems and some elements of physiopathology. Each system is described by detailing the various cellular / tissue elements that compose it, the associated physiological functions and the modes of regulation involved.
Teaching methods
Lectures (slide projection). Flipped classroom for some parts of the course.
Evaluation methods
Questions requiring short-open-responses possibly involving diagrams/schemes to be built or completed.
