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.

Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
By the end of this course, the student will have a comprehensive knowledge of the principal systems, their functions, the regulation of their activities and their integration in the organism homoeostasis. Finally, the students will have an overview of the principal dysfunctions of these systems that lead to diverse pathological states. This course should provide sufficient background to follow further specialised courses of pathology and pharmacology. |
