Biologie cellulaire animale [ LVET1295 ]


3.0 crédits ECTS  22.5 h   2q 

Teacher(s) Donnay Isabelle ; Knoops Bernard ; Schneider Yves-Jacques ;
Language French
Place
of the course
Louvain-la-Neuve
Aims

At the end of the course, the students should be able to :

 

-         Describe most aspects of animal cell function (mitosis, protein synthesis, receptors and signaling pathways')

-         Describe how the neuro-muscular system and the main sensory organs work

-         Solve simple clinical cases related to those functions

 

-         Make link with other courses (anatomy, histology, biochemistry

 

At the end of the course, the students will have a thorough knowledge of:

-         Animal cell biology (complementary with biochemical courses)

Nervous physiology (central and periphery nervous system, sensory organs) and muscle physiology (skeletal and smooth muscles)
Evaluation methods

Oral and written examination

Teaching methods

Lectures

Practical exercises and exercises on neuro-muscular physiology (reflex, nervous pathways, ' in common with the anatomy course (VET1241B)

Content

Table of Contents :

o        Animal cell biology :

§ Nucleus organisation

§ Transcription and translation

§ Cytoskeleton and cell motility

§ Cell cycle

§ Cell death : necrosis, apoptosis and autophagy

§ Biomembranes

§ Cell communication

o        General physiology

§ Membrane potential and nerveous cells

§ Skeletal and smooth muscle function and control

§ Receptors and sensory pathways

§ Motor control

§ Sensory organs

The difficulty of the course is related to the complexity of the matter (for example: nervous physiology and signaling pathways) and to the necessity to integrate knowledge from different fields and different courses (physics, anatomy, biochemistry')
