Course organization
The aim of this course is to provide to the students the knowledge to understand the physiology of striated skeletal
• Biophysics of Membrane: resting membrane potential, postsynaptic potentials and action potential. •Synapses: electrical and chemical. Neuromuscular synapse and excitatory and inhibitory synapses of the central nervous system. •Skeletal muscle: structure of sarcomere, cross-bridge cycle, excitation-contraction coupling, isometric and isotonic contraction, frequency-voltage and length-tension relationships. • Motor neurons and motor unit: order of recruitment of motor neurons and functional properties of the various motor units. • Effects of physical exercise, of muscle denervation and cross muscle reinnervation on the contractile and histochemical properties of fast and slow muscles. • Effects of chronic electrical stimulation of innervated and denervated muscles. • Hierarchical levels of motor control: reflex, posture, automatic, volunteers and volunteers automated movements. • Locomotion and posture. • Role of the cerebellum and basal ganglia in motor control. • Movement volunteer: the primary motor cortex and premotor cortices.
