Prerequisites
The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
The main subjects covered in this course are endocrinology, reproductive physiology, digestive physiology, cardiovascular physiology as well as renal and respiratory physiology.
Part 1 (1q - 9 credits - 90-10) : digestive physiology (36h), endocrinology and reproductive physiology (54h)
Part 2 (2q- 4 credits- 45-20) : cardiovascular, renal and respiratory physiology
Content
Courses deals mainly with domestic mammals (ruminants, pigs, horses, dogs and cats). Other species such as birds and rodents are also addressed. The accent is brought on the importance of the regulation of physiological functions, among others by presenting simple pathological situations.
The course is splitted into two parts
Partim A deals with endocrinology and physiology of reproduction.
Two practical sessions, one on hormonal assays, the other on semen analysis and vaginal smear are planned. Reports will have to be returned at the end of both sessions

Teaching methods
Partim A will be given in the form of "inverted classes" from 2018-2019. The course materials have been adapted for students to study on their own. The success of online tests is necessary in order to have access to the following chapters. "Questions-answers" sessions with the teacher will be organized every week during the 7 weeks of the course (mandatory attendance).
Evaluation methods
Written exam in two parts: multiple choice questions and long questions. The score obtained for practial exercice reports is entered into the exam mark the first time the student takes the exam.
Other information
Prerequesites: General physiology, Biochemistry and Animal Cellular Biology.
