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