Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Scientific skills
• In response to situations and aware of the methodological limitations: - Use common techniques of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, studies of tissues and organs (i.e. link a macroscopic phenomenon to microscopic processes). - Use an experimental device in a biological model, know and use the concepts and techniques of animal physiology.
• Master the statistical tools for life sciences
• Be a responsible researcher: - Know how to base their reasoning on data obtained from scientific literature. - Know how to integrate an ethical dimension in their reasoning. - Be loyal (to the facts, to the team, and to intellectual property). - Do not tamper with results. - Do not exploit the work of others. - Demonstrate experimental rigor.
• Professional integration skills
• Be aware of ethical issues and apply ethical codes specific to life sciences in their behaviour
• Demonstrate their ability to research, analyse and synthesise: - Research, analyse, use different sources of information and materials related to biomedical sciences, format them to draw up a summarised document, produced and broadcast them on digital media. - Carry out a study, identify and raise an issue in a predefined context, build and develop an argument, interpret the data and results, develop an overview, and propose extensions. - Question themselves, think critically, debate, and defend their ideas.
• Master written and oral scientific expression. Be independent in writing and show that they can communicate their thoughts, reason and organise their knowledge
• Make a presentation illustrating arguments adapted to the object, the circumstances and the public: speak in public

Learning Outcomes of UE

The main characteristics of the anatomical and physiological systems will be discussed in a comparative manner in the animals most used in the laboratory.  The integration of these notions of anatomy and physiology aims to contribute to the optimal choice of a laboratory animal and to be able to handle it, and carry out various experiments.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The hydro-electrolyte regulatory systems, the sense organs, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems; as well as notions of thermoregulation are addressed in the most common laboratory animals, in this case: Mammals, fish, amphibians, ...
