Physiology (CFUBK_055)
About Study Course
Objective
The aim of the course is to provide knowledge about functions and regulatory mechanisms of the organism and provide skills to use this knowledge for solving problems in the framework of the speciality.
Prerequisites
Biology, physics, chemistry and human anatomy.
Learning outcomes
After successful completion of the study course student would be able:
• to name main functions of organs and organ systems;
• to explain realization mechanisms of various organism functions;
• to analyse cause and effect relationships in the processes occurring in human body;
• to describe regulatory mechanisms occurring in the organism;
• to account and define various parameters that characterize functions of the organism;
• to differentiate hierarchy levels of regulatory mechanisms.
After successful completion of the study course student would be able:
• to choose the most appropriate method of investigation for evaluation of body functions;
• to calculate or find the normal values of the most important parameters that characterize functions of human body;
• to identify and measure the most important physiological parameters;
• to differentiate correct results of measurements and recordings from artefacts;
• to recognize results of functional investigation methods that indicate healthy organism function.
After successful completion of the study course student would 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 courses.
