| Course contents : | A) Short introduction :-Structure and organization of biological membranes,-Movement of molecules through the membranes : -i. Simple diffusion -ii. Diffusion through channels -iii. Facilitated transport -iv. Active transport -v. Endo-and exocytosis.
B) Neuronal function : -action potential -role of ion channels - role of active transport - voltage- dependent potassium channel ,sodium channel and calcium channel.
C) Synaptic function : -short recall - role of presynaptic voltage-dependent channels - postsynaptic channels -i. ligand-dependent(fast,slow) -ii. voltage-dependent.
D) Sensory receptors : - recall of the steps of signal transduction - mechanoreceptors - chemoreceptors - electroreceptors - thermoreceptors - photoreceptors - role of ionic transports.
E) Mechanisms of secretion : -recall of basal mechanisms - exocrine, endocrine secretions and neurosecretion - membrane receptors : i. channel receptors, ii. catalytic receptors - water flux : aquaporine.
F)Control of muscle contraction : - contraction-relaxation cycle - receptors in triads - calcium channel - calcium ATPase.
G) Intracellular signalling.
Plant
1. Cell membrane, planticity and synthesis of components
2. Plant membrane transport, complement
3. Cell cycle, complement
4. The cell cycle, complement
5. Cell polarity
6.Functional nuclear organization
7. Tissue organization |

| Course objective : | Study at the cellular and molecular levels of the main processes in animal and plant physiology. When the molecular structure of a protein responsible of a given process is known, the aim of the teaching will be to link this process with the molecular mechanism of the protein. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Physiology, biology |
|
| Organization : | 90 min lesson during 1st and 2d semesters |
|
| Written notes : | The powerpoint of every lessons is provided |
|
| Assessment : | Examination details will be defined at the beginning of the academic year. A single examination will be organized for both teachers. |
