Course objectives
The goal of Physiology is to explain how the human organism works, from molecular interactions to organ systems and their regulation. At the end of the course, students will have sufficient theoretical background required for their profession. Student should be able to recall principles of human body functions in detail - from a cell level, across particular organs to a complex human organism. Students will be able to . An essential aim is that students acquire critical scientific thinking, ability of independent text analysis and fundamental information selection.
Learning outcomes
At the succesfully end of the course Physiology - at the level of its study field, the student will be able to ;
recall principles of human body functions in detail - from a cell level, across particular organs to a complex human organism;
explain the basic types of regulation in the human organism ;
explain relationships among chemical, physical and biological factors of living processes ;
determine the basic numerical parameters of a healthy adult human;
to apply basic physiological principles to the clinical problems of their study field
