Learning outcomes
The subject is a part of a complex of basic study prerequisites and its content follows on the knowledge gained in anatomy. The aim of the course is to understand the basic physiological functions of the human organism (cell physiology and individual body organs, basic physiological manifestations of the organism, physiology of stress response in the sense of danger, fear and anxiety).
Expertise: The student proves knowledges of the basic principle of human body functioning (tissues, organs, organ systems) and is familiar with the composition of organ systems and their importance for humans. Professional skills: The student is able to describe the functioning of individual body systems, is able to orientate on the human body, can recognize the basic types of tissues and determine the deposition of human organs.
