Part II : Human physiology

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

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

1. Being able to integrate various informations of human biochemistry
2. Being able to integrate various endocrine signals in order to be able understand easier Human Physiology. 3. To allow students to scientifically advice either patients (for students in kinesitherapy) or athletes (for students in Motricity Sciences). 4. To be able to integrate various data at the biochemistry, physiology and histology level in various human 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
