Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.

Main themes

Explanation of the activity, the regulation and the dysfunction of the principal systems : heart and circulation system, respiratory system, body fluids and renal function, central, peripheral and autonomous nervous systems, sense organs, gastrointestinal system, reproduction and endocrine systems.

Content

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

Lecture in auditorium + flipped classroom for some parts of the course (= podcasts supplemented by sessions in auditorium to answer students' questions).

Evaluation methods

The assessment consists of a written exam. It includes multiple-choice questions (MCQ) and short open-answer or long-answer questions, possibly involving diagrams to be represented or completed.
The final mark will take into account the results of the different parts of the examination. It will be based on an arithmetic average that considers, among other things, the number of hours taught by each teacher. However, a minimum level of proficiency in all parts is essential to demonstrate the skills and knowledge defined in the learning outcomes of the teaching unit. In the event of a major failure in one of the parts, teachers may award the lowest mark, whether in the first or second session.
