Course objectives
At the end of the course, students will have sufficient theoretical background and is 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.
Learning outcomes
Ability to interprete physiological functions of human body with respect of further studied subjects.

Teaching methods
Lessons are led in the form of lectures.
Assessment methods
Final examination in Physiology has a form of oral examination. IS MUNI computer programme randomly choosen 3 questions and student answers them immediatelly. Students pass the examination at hysiology on condition that they succeed in all three questions.
