Objective
Professional training for research activities and / or teaching in the Animal Science area, emphasizing the
fundamentals of functions and functionality of the integration system in the physiology of the animal.
Content
SECTION I – INTRODUCTION OF PHYSIOLOGY AND HISTOPHYSIOLOGY
• HOMEOSTASIS
• HISTOPHYSIOLOGY – EPITELIAL, CONNECTIVE, MUSCULAR AND NERVOUS TISSUE
SECTION II – GENERAL SYSTEM OF PHYSIOLOGICAL INTEGRATION
• Integration (Signaling transduction pathways – receptors and secondary messengers);
• Neuroendocrine axes
II.1 - Hipothalamus-hypophysis-adrenal axis;
II.2 - Hipothalamus-hypophysis-thyroid axis;
II.3 - Hipothalamus-hypophysis-somatotropic (GH e IGF) axis ;
II.4 - Endocrine system non dependent of hipothalamus-hypophysis – Glicemia, calcemia, natremia e kalemia axis;
II.5 - Nervous system – Behavioral physiology, somatic sensorial system and autonomous nervous system.
SECTION III – CIRCULATORY, DIGESTIVE AND EXCRETORY FUNCTIONS
III.1 - Blood and circulatory system;
III.1.1 - Blood composition and functions;
III.1.2 - Control mechanisms of the circulatory system;
III.1.3 - Microcirculation, lymph and edema;
III.2 - Digestory system;
III.2.1 - Control and general functions of the gastrointestinal tract;
III.2.2 - Stomach and accessory glands secretion;
III.2.3 - Digestive and absorptive functions of the intestines;
III.2.4 - Ruminant stomach digestion;
