Systems Anatomy and Physiology

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

• Master the basic morphological data in order to get a 3D mental representation of the different systems and organs of the human body;
• Describe the tissue structure and understand the working principles of a subset of the main healthy systems, except the central nervous system (for instance: cardio-circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive and locomotive systems);
• Reproduce the approach followed on this subset on the other organic and articular systems.
• Be acquainted with the main physiological mechanisms so as the mechanical properties of different tissues: bones, muscles, vascular tissues, ligaments, and tendons.
• Understand the functioning of (a subset of) the locomotive system, and derive the functional properties of the musculo-skeletal system from the fundamental laws of movement

• Achieve, through self-learning, an anatomical and physiological characterization of an organ or joint (or part of it) that was not covered in the course, used bibliographic references (books, websites, etc.).
• Write down a report about this characterization, using appropriate vocabulary from the field, in French.
• Carry on an oral presentation of this work in front of the teaching staff
