Endocrine physiology

The objective of this course is to provide the student with fundamental and in-depth knowledge and skills on the physiology of the endocrine system. By studying the morphological and functional organization of the endocrine system, the student will be able to understand the multitude of hormonal systems (endocrine glands, hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis, reproductive system) and their essential roles in the realization of the major physiological functions and homeostasis.

- Mobilize the fundamental concepts and technologies of physiology to address a problem in the field or analyze a research or presentation document.

-Knowledge:

- Positioning of the endocrine system among the other regulatory systems and among the different chemical communication systems.

- General mode of action of endocrine communication and control of hormone secretion.

- Understanding the functional integration between hypothalamus, pituitary and peripheral endocrine glands.

- Knowledge of pathologies associated with endocrine function disorders

-Know-how :

- Mobilize in-depth knowledge of endocrine physiology.

- Acquire the theoretical skills necessary to understand the integration of homeostasis regulations of the organism.

- Analyze experimental results and interpret them.

- Be able to develop a logical argument with a critical mind (limits, confrontation with the biblio, defense of a point of view)

-Know how to be :

- Know how to work independently, adapt to a new context and take relevant initiatives.
