      L'objectif des Cahiers des Sciences Infirmières est d'offrir aux étudiants en IFSI des ouvrages complets et détaillés couvrant l'ensemble des savoirs définis dans les Unités d'Enseignement (UE) du nouveau référentiel. Ce cahier présente les concepts et notions à connaître en biologie fondamentale (UE 2.1 du nouveau référentiel) et en génétique (une partie de l'UE 2.2), abordés au semestre 1. En biologie fondamentale (UE 2.1) sont abordés : - les molécules constitutives du vivant et leur rôle dans les équilibres biologiques : oxygène, eau, carbone, azote… ; les minéraux (sodium, potassium, magnésium, calcium…) ; les oligoéléments, les enzymes ; les nutriments (glucides, protides et protéines, lipides) ; - la cellule : la diversité des cellules, la cellule eucaryote ; la différenciation cellulaire et la notion de tissu ; le cycle et la mort cellulaire ; les cellules excitables, la communication intercellulaire. En génétique (UE 2.2) sont abordées : - les bases moléculaires de l'organisation du génome humain : structure de l'ADN, notion de gènes, condensation de l'ADN ; - l'expression des gènes et la synthèse des protéines : transcription, traduction, mutations de l'ADN ; - la transmission de l'information génétique : méiose et brassage chromosomique ; - les bases essentielles de la notion d'hérédité. Ces thématiques sont illustrées par de nombreux schémas et photographies en couleurs. Tout au long de l'ouvrage, des encadrés « Points clés » mettent en valeur les connaissances incontournables. En fi n d'ouvrage, un Cahier d'entraînement permet à l'étudiant de vérifier ses connaissances et d'exercer sa réflexion.

      Les ouvrages de la nouvelle collection LES ESSENTIELS EN IFSI ont été conçus et construits conformément au nouveau programme des études menant au Diplôme d'État infirmier. Ils couvrent toutes les Unités d'Enseignement (UE) de la formation correspondant aux quatre domaines suivants : - Sciences humaines, sociales et droit ; - Sciences biologiques et médicales ; - Sciences et techniques infirmières, fondements et méthodes ; - Sciences et techniques infirmières, interventions. Ce volume est consacré à l'UE 2.2 Cycles de la vie et grandes fonctions et aborde toutes les grandes fonctions physiologiques du corps humain, ainsi que les grandes étapes de la vie depuis la gestation jusqu'à la mort. L'homéostasie, la génétique et la biologie sont traitées dans le volume 1 de la collection. Les deux ouvrages forment un ensemble cohérent et complet, indispensable à l'acquisition des UE 2.1 et 2.2. Chaque chapitre est articulé en trois volets. - Le volet COMPRENDRE permet d'acquérir les savoirs essentiels de manière claire et concise : les connaissances fondamentales y sont illustrées d'exemples concrets, et associées aux savoir-faire et savoir-être professionnels. - Le volet AGIR propose de mobiliser ces savoirs et savoir-faire pour agir en situation. Ces situations professionnelles sont analysées en quatre étapes, clairement exposées en tableaux très didactiques, qui rendent compte de la progression du raisonnement clinique infirmier. - Le volet S'ENTRAÎNER offre enfin de tester ses connaissances au moyen de QCM, QROC, etc. et de transférer ses connaissances à une situation nouvelle, permettant la transposition des savoirs dans un nouveau contexte. Les corrigés sont donnés à la suite.
