Course objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce to the students the basic principles governing function in the human body together with its anatomy and the basic concepts of homeostasis and control mechanisms. The course is designed to provide a framework in human physiology for future courses such as Fundamental Neuroscience or Psychotherapy as well as for clinical psychology practice.
Learning outcomes
After completion of the course student will be able to:
- describe basic anatomy of inner organs and organ systems;
- define basic physiological terms;
- describe mutual functional relations between organ systems within healthy human body;
