20810352 - Elements of anatomy and physiology

To let the student know the principles of cellular physiology and the principles of the functioning of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, and to know the anatomical organisation of the main tissues and organs; to let the student acquire the appropriate physiological terminology and know the essential parameters to assess those systems; to integrate the gained knowledge to know the function of excitable cells; to know how to use tools to evaluate physiological and neurophysiological mechanisms.
