Learning unit contents
This teaching unit includes problems involving blood "ells" (red cells, leukocytes, platelets) as well as coagulation and fibrinolysis. Biochemistry, physiology and histology teach basic physopathologic concepts. Diagnostic details, nomenclature and treatment are not the goal. Physiology and biochemistry are interested in the steps of coagulation processus and its regulation as well as interactions between coagulation and inflammation. Some aspects of physiopathology of coagulation will be discussed.Heme elaboration and haemoglobin synthesis as associated diseases are also described. Morphological and functionnal features of differentiation of the blood cells are described in Histology as well as the cells participating in the inflammation (lymphoid system).
Functionnal histology of primary and secondary lymphoid organs.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To know major mechanisms leading to inflammation due to infection.
To know the mechanisms and steps of coagulation as well as innate or therapeutics mechanisms of activation and inhibition.
To know major biological tests used to study blood composition.
To know the respiratory function of the blood.
To be able to define medical terms that relate to the blood.
To know and to be able to define the various types of anemia.
To know the major diseases of coagulation.
To know hematopoiesis, blood cells end major growth factors.
To be able to describe and identify primary and secondary lymphoid organs. To be able to explain the relation between their structure and their function.
A list of the objectives will be available on e-campus.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
See the program of the courses.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
This teaching unit is multidisciplinar. It includes a majority of theorical courses completed with practical activities (MEDE0122 and MEDE0123) and analysis of clinical cases (APPR0122).
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face teaching. Distance-learning on e-campus site for some practical activities (MEDE00122 and MEDE0123).
Recommended or required readings
The slides used in the course and written notes will be available on e-campus. Syllabi are available at AREM. Reference books are provided by the educationnal office.
