Course contents :
|
| Physiology course is divided into two distinct parts: the molecular and cellular physiology (O. Peulen) and the physiological systems (Ph. Kolh).
Molecular and cellular physiology. The course identifies the major molecular components of the cell. All cellular compartments are then visited by addressing both the morphological aspect and the functional aspect. Cellular communication, and cellular response to stimuli are the end of this part of the course.
System Physiology. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
- Understanding the cellular organization and the dependencies existing between the organelles.
- Understanding the relationship that may exist between the structure and the function of biomolecules.
- Knowing the ways of cell responses to stimuli.
- Understand the mechanisms by which a cell keeps its internal homeostasis.
- Knowing the mechanisms that maintain or cause deregulation of cell number.

course notes written by the teacher and distributed at the beginning of the year. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The physiology course will be considered as successful when a score greater than or equal to 10/20 will be obtained in each component.
Molecular and cellular physiology:
- Theory (90%): oral examination, special emphasis on understanding and on links between chapters.
- Personal work (10%): preparation of a schematic summary of a portion of the course.
