- Course objectives
- The goal of Physiology is to explain how the human organism works, from molecular interactions to organ systems and their regulation.
- 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 - Syllabus
