Description
This optional course allows students to prepare for the animal physiology courses of the next two semesters by approaching this discipline exclusively through the analysis of historical experiments that have provided the basis for this subject. In class, historical experiments on digestion, ventilation, cardiac activity, reproduction and development are analyzed. In class, the experiments analyzed cover nutrition, metabolism, respiratory gas exchange, vessels, blood pressure, kidneys, growth, nervous and hormonal communication and immunity.
Objectives
- Knowledge Objective:
Establishment of the very first bases of animal physiology from very simple experiments having both a historical and pedagogical interest
- Objective of methods
Application of the experimental approach: know how to analyze experiments in a structured way by addressing for each of them the techniques used, the presentation of the results, their rigorous analysis and then a brief extension in order to place these results within the framework of current knowledge on the theme addressed
