Course contents :  
Part I : Human biochemistry

Elements of physiology, biochemistry and histology for the organs that are not studied in specific modules.<br /><br /> 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.<br /><br /> 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 . .

Part II : Human physiology

- Study of body fluid volumes. - Gastrointestinal physiology and digestive. - Renal physiology.

Part III : Introduction to human histology

In the body, cells with similar morphology and function form groups called simple tissues (ex: epithelial tissue). When several types of cells form a tissue, it is called compound tissue (ex: nervous tissue). The tissues are associated to form organs with a specific function.
In this course, we will study:


  • epithelial tissue
  • connective tissue
  • muscular tissue
  • nervous tissue
  • blood cells
Examples of tissue associations will be described in some organs (ex: the glomerular filtration barrier in the kidney, the relations of hepatocytes with the blood vessels and the biliary canalicule, the skin...)

Learning outcomes of the course :  
Part I : Human biochemistry

Integrated approach of the functions of organs and systems
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). 5. To be able to integrate various data at the biochemistry, physiology and histology level in hematology, gastro-enterology and hepatology and in nephrology.
Multidisciplinary approach of the function of some organs and systems.

Part II : Human physiology

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

Part III : Introduction to human histology

The objectives are to establish a parallelism between the morphology and the function of cells and tissues and to understand how some groups of cells function togethet to play a specific role
