Prerequisite

Basic knowledge in: cellular biology, organic chemistry

Aims and Objectives

To have a thorough knowledge of operation as well on the molecular level as cellular of certain systems (nervous, muscular) which make the human body while being based on essential notions borrowed from the courses of physics and chemistry.

To be capable of better understanding pathologies which deal with the studied systems and to integrate these notions in the courses particularly of rehabilitation.

Description

Cellular physiology

  • Cellular compartments: the membranes (membrane structure and junctions)
  • Cellular organoids (see course of cellular biology)
  • Movements of the molecules through the membrane
    • Passive transport: simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion
    • Active Transport: by pumping of aqueous solutions, transport in bulk (cytosis)

Physiology of the nervous system

  • Functions of SN
  • Organization of SN

Types of cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, cells of the microglie, ependymocytes, cells of Schwann, cells satellite)
