Course objectives
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 explain relationships among chemical, physical and biological factors of living processes. An essential aim is that students acquire critical scientific thinking, ability of independent text analysis and fundamental information selection.

Teaching methods
Lessons are led in the form of lectures.
Assessment methods
Oral examination - students randomly choose 3 questions and answer them after 15 minutes of preparation. Students pass the examination in Physiology on condition that they succeed in all three questions.
