Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
To teach students to understand and interprete various functions of human body.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will:
- have sufficient theoretical background required for profession of physician.
- be able to recall principles of human body functions in detail - from a cell level, across particular organs to a complex human organism.
- 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.
