Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

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.
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. |
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
Content
This teaching unit will include,
1. For the part of the study of the musculoskeletal system:
A. The skeleton
Axial skeleton
Belts
The appendicular skeleton
B. Skeletal muscles
Organization of skeletal muscles
2. For the part of the study of the nervous system:
A. Sensitivity and sensory treatments
The somesthetic system
Pain
Visual pathways
The auditory system
The vestibular system
Chemical senses
B. Motor skills and central control
Motor neurons and motor control
Central controls of the brain stem and spinal cord
Modulation of movements by the ganglia of the base
Modulation of movements by the cerebellum
Eye movements
The vegetative nervous system
3. For the part dealing with sensory reception:
A. the chemical senses
the olfactory mucosa
taste buds
B. The eye and vision
C. The ear and the auditory and vestibular systems
4. For the part of the study of the endocrine system:
A. Introduction
Overall view of the endocrine system
The different types of hormones
Mechanisms of hormonal action
Endocrine regulation: important concepts
B. The main endocrine glands
Hypothalamus and pituitary gland
Thyroid
The parathyroid glands
The endocrine pancreas
The epiphysis (pineal gland)
The adrenal
The organs / structures of the different systems taught in the lectures will be illustrated during practical sessions thanks to the observation and analysis of histological sections.

Teaching methods
Ex cathedra classes, inverted classes, practical work.
Evaluation methods
Oral examination with written preparation or written examination only. The questions will concern the subject of the different parts of the course, ie the locomotion, the nervous system, the sense organs and the endocrine system, including the teaching of practical work.
Other information
Presence in practical work is mandatory. Any unjustified absence will be sanctioned.
Online resources
Course Powerpoints available on Moodle.
