• Manage their studies
• Self-assess and give feedback

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the instruction, the student will master the basic principles of living processes in the human organism and in particular the notions of compartment and of exchange of matter, energy and information. He will be able to explain the concept of steady-state (integrated systems in regulated dynamic equilibrium).  
He will be able to describe  the functioning, regulation and adaptation of specific tissue such as skeletal and smooth muscles or blood.
The student will master theoretical representations of physiological processes (mathematical, graphical, …) and he will be able to mobilize his knowledge to describe, analyse and explain the physiological aspects in simple clinical situations.
The final aim of this knowledge is to enable the student to understand the functioning of major systems and their integration in the human being.

Content of UE

This learning is divided in two activities:
-          A course that will explain the concepts in their theoretical aspects as well as in their concrete consequences.
-          An individual learning based on practical illustrations using multiple methods (laboratory and practical works, training and software use, oral presentation of physiological studies).

Prior Experience

Notions of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biochemistry, cytology, cellular biology, histology.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1
