Description
The cardiovascular physiology course aims at describing and acquiring knowledge on the functioning of the cardiovascular system from the whole animal to the molecular and cellular levels. Among other things, cardiac contraction, regulation of cardiac electrical activity (electrocardiogram and ion channels), regulation of blood pressure and baroreflex, regulation of cardiovascular functions by the autonomic nervous system will be studied.
Objectives
- Understanding of the physiological mechanisms involved in cardiovascular functions
- Analysis of experimental results
- Written and oral expression
- Positioning of theoretical results in an experimental context
- Scientific rigor
