Physiology (Biochemistry, Biophysics) (LF_124)
About Study Course
Objective
To form an understanding of physiology and pathology as a science, identifying the physiological processes taking place in the body, to understand their mutual integration. To promote the understanding of pathological processes from the point of view of normal physiology, its deviations from the norm. To acquire an understanding of the structure and function of the human body at the molecular level, the role of physics in medicine and to provide knowledge of the main issues of general biophysics and biochemistry.
Prerequisites
Biology, anatomy, physics and chemistry.
