Learning objectives
The course aims at providing students with a general understanding of the events underlying the functioning of major organs and systems of the human body.
Program
Introduction to physiology: Mention on the foundation of physiology – The Levels of Organization – Homeostasis and mechanisms of control – Body Composition – Osmosis, osmotic pressure and tonicity
Cellular dynamics: Cellular membrane and cellular communication (membrane transport; ion channels; membrane potential; action potential genesis and its propagation; neural synapse and neuromuscular junction)
The nervous system: Central and peripheral nervous system – Autonomic nervous system
The Muscular System: Skeletal and smooth muscle (contractile and regulatory proteins; muscle contraction and its control) – Mechanics of body movement
Cardiovascular system: The heart and its functions (cardiac muscle; heart electrical and mechanical activity; EKG) – Static and dynamic aspects of the cardiovascular system (flux; distribution) – Lymphatic system – Differences with fetal blood circulatory system
Respiratory system: Pulmonary function and mechanics (airflow volumes and resistances) – Pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange (respiratory gas transport)
Urinary system: Renal function (nephron; core processes) – Regulation of renal function (sodium balance; acid-base regulation)
