Histology
workshop
Biochemistry
This module presents the nervous system through anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry and semiology.
The biochemistry is concerned by neurotransmitters synthesis, their release mechanisms, the neurotransmitters receptors and their post-synaptic activities.
Special pathology
The partim "Special Pathologies" learns to the students the principal traumatic, degenerative and inflammatory pathologies of bones and articulations of superior and inferior members.
Traumatology
Cf Pathologie spéciale (NERF0537-E-a)
Contra-indications

Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Neuroanatomy
The general objective of this course is to provide the student with an understanding of the structure and function of the normal nervous system and sensory organs. The course contents have been chosen with the help of the teachers of the department of motor sciences in order to provide a large knowledge base that is necessary and adequate for further teaching and especially the neurological, sensorimotor basis for the understanding of movement.
The function of the nervous system is profoundly rooted in its structure. The understanding of physiology will thus be inevitably based on anatomical knowledge.
For the neuroanatomical aspects, detailed tables of specification are used to indicate the relative importance of subjects.
........
The neurophysiological teaching will provide the student with the necessary bases for him/her to establish a solid foundation of knowledge of the physiology of the nervous system and special sense organs. The student will integrate the multiple interactions between somatic motor systems, sensory systems, cognition, emotion, sleep-wake mechanisms and the vegetative nervous system, as well as their intimate link to the regulation of the metabolic environment, cerebrospinal fluid circulation and vascularisation of the nervous system.
Histology
microscopy of nervous tissue
Biochemistry
To known the biochemical, anatomical, histological and physiological basis of the nervous system in order to be able to understand the diseases of this system.
The Biochemistry partim is focused on neurotransmitters : synthesis, release mechanisms, receptors and post-synaptic effects.
Special pathology
To teach the principal traumatic, degenerative and inflammatory pathologies of bones and articulations of superior and inferior members.
Contra-indications
Contra indication to sports.
