Course contents :
|
| The physiological part of the course presents the mechanisms controling the homeostasis in the animal kingdom. The basis of the physiology will be described in Mammals and compared to others physological mechanisms observed in other species (including Invertebrates). For example, we will discuss the principle of respiration in the air or in the water, the mechanisms of excretion, of osmotic regulation, the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, ...
1. Lymphoid organs
2. Digestive system
3. Digestive system- liver - pancreas
4. Reproductive system
5. Excretory system
6. Respiratory systems
7. Endocrine glands
8. Sense organs |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| By the end of the physiological part of the course, the students will have learnt the bases of animal physiology et various strategies seen in the animal kingdom to adapt to physical or chemical stresses occuring in the environment.
The main aim are :
To study the relationships between the cell structure and their functions
To give a general view of the structure of animal tissues and organs
To emphasize how the organisation of tissues and organes confirm their functions |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Basic notions in cell biology and in general histology |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Practical course in animal physiology will be given in november and december. Students will be asked to writte a report describing the work done during this practical course.
Every theoretical courses are followed in the same room by a session of practical works where the student examine different histological preparations illustrating the course. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The theorical part of Animal Physiology is given on Monday and Thursday (AM during the first quadrimester). Praticals are held during the last five Fridays of the first quadrimester at the institute of Botany (B22).
The theoretical courses of animal histology are given in the first quadrimester, on Friday from 8:30 am to 10 am, in the Great Hall of practical work (1st floor) of the Institute of Zoology (Bldg. I1, quai Van Beneden 22 in Liege). Each theoretical course is followed in the same room with a session of practical work (10 to 13h), where students examine different histological preparations illustrating the course. |

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| An oral exam will focus on the entire matter of animal physiology course (including practical works). The exam will consist of three questions, one of which will be the identification of a histological preparation. |
