Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Describe, organise, analyse and prioritise the phenomena observed in the medical field
• Understand the expression of biological realities in absolute or relative terms, the orders of magnitude, proportions and probability
• Understand and apply mathematical translations of large models and biological phenomena through abstract reasoning
• Understand and use different graphical representations of numerical values and their relationships
• Understand the chronology of a phenomenon and master the time scales and their representations
• Control the molecular, morphological and functional approaches of normal and pathological conditions
• Describe these states and technical examinations to quantify them in different approaches, as well as describe the operational characteristics of these examinations
• Integrate concepts from these different approaches in a complex biomedical problem
• Demonstrate interpersonal skills developed within a medical context
• Use a rich vocabulary accurately linking concepts and words, and understand the prefixes and suffixes used in the medical field

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, analyze 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.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

This learning is divided into two activities: -  A series of lectures 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).

Prior Experience

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