Course objectives
The students attend the course Human physiology I at the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University. The main objective of the course is to introduce to the students the basic physiology of man - to explain how the human organism works, from molecular interactions to organ systems and their regulation.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course the students should be able to: define basic concepts of general and systematic physiology;
explain basic physiological principles;
describe the functions of all organs systems;
explain the basic types of regulation in the human organism.
