Introduction to human histology

In the body, cells with similar morphology and function form groups called simple tissues (ex: epithelial tissue). When several types of cells form a tissue, it is called compound tissue (ex: nervous tissue). The tissues are associated to form organs with a specific function.
In this course, we will study:


  • epithelial tissue
  • connective tissue
  • muscular tissue
  • nervous tissue
  • blood cells
Examples of tissue associations will be described in some organs (ex: the glomerular filtration barrier in the kidney, the relations of hepatocytes with the blood vessels and the biliary canalicule, the skin...)

Introduction to nutrition

General aspects of macro and micronutrients metabolism and fluid balance. Principles of balanced diet (qualitative and quantitative aspects), dietary supplement, sweeeteners, fructose, nutritional claims,

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Human biochemistry

1. Being able to integrate various informations of human biochemistry
2. Being able to integrate various endocrine signals in order to be able understand easier Human Physiology.
3. To allow students to scientifically advice either patients (for students in kinesitherapy) or athletes (for students in Motricity Sciences) about various current aspects of the Human Physiology.  These advices should improve the primary prevention and/or the physical exercise management.
4. To be able to integrate various data at the biochemistry, physiology and histology level in various human organs and systems.

Introduction to human histology

The objectives are to establish a parallelism between the morphology and the function of cells and tissues and to understand how some groups of cells function togethet to play a specific role

Introduction to nutrition

To know principles of balanced diet, how to get it, main dietetics aspects

and practice

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Human biochemistry

Blended learning


Additional information:

Ex-cathedra course in the second semester according to the schedule available in the vade-mecum.  The course devoted to the first chapter will be available in POD-Cast and will not be the subject of an oral course.  This course makes the link between the general biochemistry and general phsyiology courses of the previous quadrimester with this human biochemistry course. This first chapter is an integral part of the course.

In all cases, the ex-cathedra lessons will be recorded for later viewing.

Recommended or required readings

Human biochemistry

A text book has been upgraded in 2015 and is available on intranet. This taxt book has been also given to the Presses Universitaires de Liège. The students will also have the access to the computer files of the illustrations of the lectures. Several references text books are also suggested during the first lecture.
