Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The introduction defines human physiology and anatomy, including the methods used to study them. The core of the course (divided into Physiology of Nervous System - partim 1 and Physiology of Nervous System - partim 2) aims at studying the nervous and endocrine systems. The partim 1 details the physiology of the neuron, and the anatomy and physiology of the central, peripheral, and autonomous nervous systems (Chapters I to VI)

Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session
Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning
The teaching of the subject is based on (i) the very complete syllabus on which the student must base himself as much as possible, (ii) the slides, (iii) the podcasts, and (iv) the repetitions by the student instructor.
All the chapters of the syllabus and all the slides have been available on MyULiège since the start of the semester.
This course was taught entirely in the first term, face-to-face.
All of the course sessions have been podcasted.
Assessment subjects
The subject relates to chapters I to VI of the course:
- Chapter I: introduction to biological systems, physiology and anatomy
- Chapter II: cell membranes and transport between compartments
- Chapter III: general organization of the nervous system and functioning of neurons
- Chapter IV: anatomical and physiological organization of the central nervous system
- Chapter V: introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the peripheral nervous system
- Chapter VI: introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the autonomous nervous system
Assessment methods
The assessment will be made by written exam in the form of multiple choice questions (MCQ) with certainty coefficients and True-False questions.
The exam on partim I is only accessible, during the May-June session, to students of BLOC 1 speech therapy.

Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the Aug-Sept 2020 session
Assessment subjects
The subject relates to chapters I to VI of the course:
- Chapter I: introduction to biological systems, physiology and anatomy:
- hierarchy of biological systems; definition of physiology; hypothetico-deductive approach to the scientific method; functional allocation; chemical communication; vital functions and maintenance of life; internal environment and homeostasis; essential mechanisms of major functions; regulation systems.
- Chapter II: cell membranes and transport between compartments:
- General function of membranes; structure of cell membranes; membrane protein channels and transporters; body compartments; movements across membranes; distribution of water and solutes in the body; separation of charges in the body.
- Chapter III: general organization of the nervous system and functioning of neurons:
- General organization of the nervous system; histology and general functions of nervous tissue; classification of neurons; potential of resting membrane and ion channels; electrical responses of neurons; synaptic transmission.
- Chapter IV: anatomical and physiological organization of the central nervous system:
- general considerations and development of the brain; regions and organization of the brain - cerebral ventricles, cerebral hemispheres (cortex, white matter, basal nuclei), diencephalon, brainstem, cerebellum, brain systems; protection of the brain; spinal cord.
- Chapter V: introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the peripheral nervous system:
- Sensory receptors; nerves and nodes; motor endings.
- Chapter VI: introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the autonomous nervous system:
- Main Features; comparative anatomy of the orthosympathetic and parasympathetic systems; neurotransmitters and receptors of the autonomic nervous system; general functioning of the orthosympathetic and parasympathetic systems; regulation of the autonomic nervous system.
Assessment methods
The evaluation will be done by written exam in the form of multiple response questions (QRM),
with several proposals (items) for each question.
For EVERY question, any combination will be possible: either no proposition will be correct, or one proposition will be correct, or two propositions will be correct, or three propositions will be correct, ... or all the propositions will be correct. Abstentions will be possible.
The evaluation will be performed on the E-Campus plateforme
