| Duration : | 30h Th, 20h Pr |
 |
| Credits/ECTS : |
|
 |
| Holder(s) : | Jean‑Christophe Plumier, Marc Thiry |
 |
| Language : | Langue française |
 |
| Course contents : | Part A: Histology
1. The epithelial tissues 2. Glandular epithelia 3. The connective tissues and the cartilage 4. Bone tissue 5. Muscles 6. Nervous tissue and blood
Part B: Cell Physiology
1. Ionic exchanges
2. Cell communications
3. Muscle contraction |
 |
| Course objective : | The main aim are : To study the relationships between the structure and the functions of cells To give a general view of the structure of animal tissues To emphasize how the organisation of the tissues confirm their functions |
 |
| Prerequisites : | Basic notions in cell biology |
 |
| Workshops : | Pratical work in cell physiology (ion transports, muscle contraction) is offered. Written reports are requested. |
 |
| Organization : | The theorical courses in histology are given in the first quadrimester, on Monday from 9 am to 11 am, in the Great Hall of practical work (1st floor) of the Institute of Zoology (Bldg. I1, quai Van Beneden 22 in Liege). Each theorical course is followed in the same room with a sesion of practical work where students examine different histological preparations illustrating the course.
The theorical portion of the course in Cell physiology is given on the first 5 Thursday. The Hands-on portion of the course takes place during the 5 last weeks at the institute of Botany (B22). |

| Assessment : | An oral exam will focus on the entire matter of cell physiology and animal histology course (including practical works). The exam will consist of three questions, one of which will be the identification of a histological preparation. |
