Course contents :
Système cardiovasculaire
The course concerns human biochemistry and physiology, partim cardio-vascular system. In particular, it encompasses the following chapters:
  • Elements of cardio-vascular physiology
    • Cardiac pump
    • Vascular System
    • Cardio-vascular homeostasis : cardiac output and arterial pressure
  • Principles of cardio-vascular physiopathology
    • Arterial hypertension
    • Coronary insufficiency
    • Cardiac failure
Système endo-métabolisme
The course concerns human biochemistry and physiology, partim endocrine system and metabolism. In particular, it encompasses the following chapters:
  • Introduction
  • Mechanisms of action of hormones
  • The hormones of the energetic metabolism
    • Energetic metabolism
    • Insulin and diabetes
    • Glucagon
    • Epinephrine
    • Glucocorticoids
    • Thyroid hormones
  • Gastro-intestinal hormones
  • Water, electrolytes, and mineral elements
  • Growth
  • Reproduction
  • Cytokines
  • Mediators
  • Neuromediators
Learning outcomes of the course :
Système cardiovasculaire
The objective of the course is to master the principles of biochemistry and physiology of the human cardio-vascular system. Furthermore, the student will have understood the importance of feedbacks and interactions between the different parts of the cardio-vascular system.
Système endo-métabolisme
The objective of the course is to master the principles of biochemistry and physiology of the endocrine system, and the metabolism of the human body. Furthermore, the student will have understood the importance of feedbacks and interactions between the different parts of the endocrine system and with the nervous system.
