Prerequisites
Knowledge of human biology, chemistry and physics in the extent of the corresponding subject taught at High school (secondary grammar school).
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
At the end of the course, students will have sufficient theoretical background required for their profession. Student should be able to recall principles of human body functions in detail - from a cell level, across particular organs to a complex human organism. Students will be able to explain relationships among chemical, physical and biological factors of living processes. An essential aim is that students acquire critical scientific thinking, ability of independent text analysis and fundamental information selection.
Learning outcomes
At the succesfully end of the course Physiology - at the level of its study field, the student will be able to: - describe basic functions of the human body - from cells, individual tissues, organs, systems and organism as a whole - explain the basic types of regulation in the human organism - determine the basic numerical parameters of a healthy adult human - to apply basic physiological principles to the clinical problems of their study field
