Course objectives
The subject of study is a human organism explored from the point of view of complicated, hierarchically arranged and regulated living structure that is a part of a specific environment and has an impact on it. The programmatic goal of the lecture is: obtaining of more comprehensive concepts about the nature of individual systems regulating the human body and maintaining its dynamical homeostasis with the help of inductively-deductive methods; understanding the principles of common co-ordinated participation of three main regulation systems, such as humoral, nervous and immune systems; recognising the most frequent disorders in structure and function of these regulation systems and uderstanding the essence of consequences of these disorders for the way of life and performance of the human individuals in the period of prepubescence and preadolescence.
