Notions of anatomy, biochemistry and biology.

Aims and Objectives

You have to know and understand biological and physiological processes of the human organism in order to explain homeostatic imbalance.

You have to develop a scientific argument on the basis of a knowledge of anatomy and physiology.

Description

Homeostasis of the organism: concept and regulation.

Liquids of the organism: notions of osmotic pressure; mechanisms of membrane transport; exchanges between plasma and interstitial fluid within capillaries.

Blood : functions, properties, composition,

            coagulation + homeostatic imbalance.

Defence system of the organism : the inflammatory reaction, the specific resistance (immunity) ,  modes of transmission of foreign agents, the antibodies + homeostatic imbalance.

Physiology of the respiratory system: the pulmonary ventilation, exchanges between oxygen and carbon dioxide, transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide, respiration regulation + homeostatic imbalance.

Acid-base disorder:  buffer systems, expiration of carbon dioxide, excretion of hydrogen ions by the kidneys  + homeostatic imbalance.
