Learning outcomes
After successful studies student should be able:
• to define physiological parameters,
• to explain main functions of organs and organ systems in the living body,
• to name and define various parameters that characterise functions of the organism functions,
• to explain principles and mechanisms of regulation of body functions,
• to analyse the basic results of physiological investigation,
• to explain the importance and use of functional state investigation.
After successful studies student should be able:
• to advice the adequate method of investigation of physiological functions,
• do the basic physiological measurements,
• to differentiate the most common artefacts from correct results,
• to use acquired knowledge in computer analysis of physiologic measures,
• to compare obtained results with normal values,
• to use acquired knowledge about physiological regulation mechanisms in clinical task solving.
After successful studies student should be able:
• to integrate individual knowledge and skills in a global view of the whole human body;
• to use acquired knowledge and skills in studies of specialized clinical courses.
