Content of Learning Activity

Different sources of scientific information (oral communications, scientific articles) will be provided to students to encourage active learning. Students will then analyze these sources and search additional informations to answer questions, first at an individual level (practical training: e-tests Moodle), and then through integrated exercises realized in teams (practical training: workshop exercises and e-test Moodle). These analyses will then be corrected during theoretical lectures (ex cathedra and interaction via Wooclap).

By this way, students will exploit their knowledge in chemistry and physics (living molecules, types of chemical bonds, electrical potential difference, conductance, electromotive force, etc.  ) to decipher the functioning of ion channels (activated by a ligand, by a change in membrane potential, by stretching, by heat, etc.), pores, membrane transporters,  pumps and receptors. The physiological processes in which these different types of  matter transfers are involved will also be highlighted.
