Abstract
We introduce and study a class of Lie algebroids associated to faithful modules which is motivated by the notion of cotangent Lie algebroids of Poisson manifolds. We also give a classification of transitive Lie algebroids and describe Poisson algebras by using the notions of algebroid and Lie connections.

Key words: transitive Lie algebroids; Lie-Rinehart algebras; Poisson brackets; algebraic connections.
