Cardiac Physiology

The Cardiovascular Physiology UE aims to describe and acquire knowledge of the functioning of the cardiovascular system, from the whole animal to the molecular and cellular levels. Topics covered include cardiac contraction, regulation of cardiac electrical activity (electrocardiogram and ion channels), regulation of blood pressure and baroreflex, and regulation of cardiovascular functions by the autonomic nervous system.

- Understanding the physiological mechanisms involved in cardiovascular function

- Analysis of experimental results

- Written and oral expression

- Positioning theoretical results in an experimental context

- Scientific rigor
