Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
This course offers to study specific topics in animal physiology according to students' needs. Studied topics depend upon students' interests for a precise problem possibly related to their honour thesis.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The main goal consists in giving answers to specific problems of animal physiology (including ecophysiology). In this course, all levels of physiology (molecular, cellular and organ aspects) will be examined to draw a global scheme of physiological mechanisms in play.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Cell Physiology, animal physiology, histology, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistrry
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Each student will choose a precise topics in animal physiology under the teacher's advise. The student will develop the various (molecular, cellular, ...) aspects related to the topics and propose physiological mecanisms underlying the studied case. If possible, each student will present his/her comprehensive work for discussion.
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
The final appreciation will be determined on the basis of the written reports and, if possible, on an oral presentation and the active interaction during the course dependiong opn the number of students attending the course.
