Course objectives
After the successful completion of course, students should be able to: -discuss the problematics of physiological processes in animal groups living in diverse ecological environments; -survey contemporary knowledge of physiological homeostatic and regulation mechanisms in broad adaptive and evolutionary context; -describe details of physiological processes of a man; -discuss fundamental molecular principles of cell physiology -analyse cooperation among diverse homeostatic systems;
