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.

Curriculum

teacher profile | teaching materials

Programme

Main concepts of physiology - homeostasis, feedback, structure/function relationships, cellular physiology, passage of substances through membranes, osmosis, electrical phenomena of membranes.
Principles of histology and the skeletal system.
Nervous system - organisation, action potential of a nerve cell, refractory periods, propagation of nerve signals, synapses, reflex arc, neurotransmitters and receptors.
Hormones.
Organ functions:
Muscular system - mechanics of muscle contraction, functions of smooth and striated muscle.
Cardiovascular system - functions of blood, heart, cardiac cycle, blood pressure and its regulation.
Respiration - physiology of respiration: ventilation, gas exchange.
Renal function: filtration, reabsorption, water and electrolyte balance.

Attendance

Strongly recommended

Type 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
