| 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. Cell signaling
3. The Cell cycle, complement
4. Cell polarity
5.Functional nuclear 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. |
