Course objectives
Goal of these lessons is to enlarge students´ knowledge in selected physiological topics with partial overlap to pathophysiology and with elucidation of the clinical use of basic physiological knowledge.
Learning outcomes
Student should be able:
- to discuss aspects of physiological events at various organizational levels (e.g. cell death, circadian rhythm, highest function of the nervous system);
- to consider physiological aspects of some pathologies (e.g. arterial hypertension, ischemic heart disease, inherited arrhythmias);
- to describe study methods of cardiovascular physiology at various organizational levels (e.g. analysis of variability of circulatory parameters, recording of action potentials and ionic currents in cardiac cells, mathematical modelling of cardiac cell function);
- to consider the role of reactive oxygen species, cytoskeleton function and sigma receptors in physiological processes;
