Course objectives
The goal of physiology is to explain the physical and chemical factors that are responsible for the origin, development, and progression of the life. In human physiology, we attempt to explain the specific characteristics and mechanisms of the human body that make it a living being. In the course of lectures, student gets hold of knowledge of general and systematic human physiology, learns how to analyse special text and how to find relevant and substantive information, to cover basic relationships and regulations in living systems, including basic knowledge of biocybernetics. After finishing normal physiology course, the student is acquainted with main basic experimental methods used in physiology, mainly by a form of practices. During practices, the student must get acquainted with current examination methods, used in everyday clinical physiology (e.g. electrocardiography, electroencephalography, electromyography, spirometry), including exercise tests (ergometry). Students must make conclusions from their own measured values. The main outcome of normal physiology studies is therefore to teach the students not only the review of physiology, but also to enable them to get practical skills and support critical scientific way of thinking.
