Endocrine physiology

The aim of this course is to provide students with fundamental and in-depth knowledge and skills in the physiology of the endocrine system. By studying the morphological and functional organization of the endocrine system, the student will be able to grasp the multitude of hormonal systems (endocrine glands, hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis, reproductive system) and their essential roles in the realization of 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 the endocrine system among other regulatory systems and 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 needed to understand the integration of the body's homeostatic regulations.

- Analyze and interpret experimental results.

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

-People skills :

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