After a general and epidemiologic introduction, each human system is addressed: basic aspects of normal physiology, followed by evolution throughout ageing. Are successively studied: cardio-vascular system, respiratory system, renal system, digestive system, immune system, endocrine system, and nervous system. The course being targeted to psychology students, the nervous system is more deeply studied. The overall care of the ageing patient is also covered, as well as the recent advances to understand ageing mechanisms.
Partim 1 encompasses general and epidemiologic introduction; ageing of cardio-vascular, respiratory, and renal systems. |
