Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | To establish the bases in biochemistry, physiology and histology, the main animal tissues will be studied, emphasis being put on mammalian tissues. Certain notions in cellular biology will also be deepened with the objective of integrating morphological, physiological and biochemical aspects in cellular processes. |
