- Prerequisites
- Knowledge of human biology, chemistry and physics in the extent of the corresponding subject taught at High school (secondary grammar school).
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Dental Hygiene (programme LF, B-DEHY)

- 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.
- Learning outcomes
- At the succesfully end of the course Physiology - at the level of its study field, the student will be able to ;
describe basic functions of the human body - from cells, individual tissues, organs, systems and organism as a whole ;
explain the basic types of regulation in the human organism ;
determine the basic numerical parameters of a healthy adult human;
to apply basic physiological principles to the clinical problems of their study field - Syllabus
