Neuroanatomy
Description of the teaching unit
This course provides information on the anatomical and functional organisation of the vegetative nervous system, including its involvement in cardiovascular function.
Histology
Histology of blood and lymphatic circulatory systems and heart
Physiology
  • General organization of the cardiovascular system.
  • Functional study of the heart: electrical aspects.
  • Functional study of the heart: the mechanical aspects.
  • Study of the vascular system.
  • Cardiovascular responses to physiological or pathological situations.
General pathology
The courses in general pathology within this module concern heart infarcts and circulation disorders. We will describe the general physiopathological mechanisms that account for the development of infarcts, namely arteriosclerosis, cleft in the atheromatous plaque, formation of thrombus, vascular occlusion, ischemia, and tissular necrosis. Next, we will turn to a particular case of infarct: namely myocardial infarction. We will consider circumstances in which it can occur as well as its physiopathological features. The course on circulation disorders will focus on edema, embolism and thromboses.
Special pathology
Introduction to cardiopathies (heart troubles) that include heart revalidation in therapeutic care: stable angor, unstable angor, acute infarcts of the heart muscle, valvulopathies, hypertension, heart deficiency.
Physiotherapy
The course in physiotherapy introduces principles of reeducation related to heart problems.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
Anatomy
./
Neuroanatomy
Upon successful completion of this teaching unit, the student will have acquired knowledge about the structural and functional organisation of the vegetative nervous system, as well as the application of this knowledge to normal vegetative control (cardiorespiratory regulations, physical activity, stress, urinary function).
Physiology
Knowledge of the elements listed in the overview
General pathology
Describe the physio-pathological mechanisms involved in the appearance and development of prevailing pathologies. Notions taught in this course are necessary to understand the course in special pathology.
Special pathology
Bring students to understand major tenets in pathogenesis, clinical presentation, stages in the treatment of considered diseases.
Physiotherapy
Theoretical and practical introduction to reeducation treatments adapted to various heart pathologies by integrating them into a multidisciplinary approach.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
Anatomy
./
Neuroanatomy
  • Prerequisite: elementary information on the Anatomy of the nervous system as provided in preuniversity teaching and in the introductory course to human anatomy.
  • Please refer to the course programme for all the required courses before or during this unit.

Physiology
Evaluation: Written examination for the cardio-vasculary module.
General pathology
Evaluation: Written examination for the cardio-vasculary module.
Special pathology
Written examination for the cardio-vasculary module.
