Course contents :  
Part I : Human biochemistry

The six chapters of this lecture are:1. Biochemistry of blood 2. Biochemistry of the digestive tract 3. Biochemistry of the liver 4. Biochemistry of the kidneys 5. Molecular Biology applied to humans 6. Cell degenerescence.

Part II : Human physiology

  • Study of body fluid volumes,
  • Gastrointestinal physiology and digestive
  • Renal physiology.

Part III : Human histology

Elements of histology relative to organs and systems which will not be studied in specific modules. The blood and the liquid compartments of the organism, the digestive tract, the liver, and the urinary system will be described . .

Learning outcomes of the course :  
Part I : Human biochemistry

1. Being able to integrate various informations of the biochemistry of blood, digestive tract, liver and kidneys.
2. Being able to integrate various endocrine signals in order to be able understand easier Human Physiology. 3. To be able to understand some aspects of molecular biology of cell functions. In this context, various modern methods actually used in genome analysis should also be understood.
4.. To allow students to scientifically advice either patients (for students in kinesitherapy) or athletes (for students in Motricity Sciences).

Part II : Human physiology

Understanding of the processes regulating the digestive system and kidneys in humans.

Part III : Human histology

Multidisciplinary approach of the function of some organs and systems.
