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.

Attendance
Strongly recommendedType of evaluation
During the course, there are two self-assessment moments followed by two written tests. The average score of the two tests represents the final grade. For those who prefer to take a single test at the end of the course, there is the possibility of being assessed with a final oral exam covering the entire program teacher profile teaching materials
