Synopsis:

The course is focused on physical processes associated with blood flow and blood gas exchange, including description of events on biological membranes. Further, the possibilities of measuring advanced hemodynamic parameters of the bloodstream are discussed. A large space is devoted to the problems of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

In the second part of the semester students are acquainted with the properties of human tissue and body fluids, including methods of their measurement. This knowledge is complemented by the basics of optics and acoustics, always in relation to biological systems.

Part of the course are laboratory exercises in a modern laboratory, which suitably complement the theoretical knowledge of students from lectures.

Requirements:

Submission of all protocols from laboratory exercises.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Hemodynamics I - Properties of ideal fluids, Properties and composition of blood, Blood flow and distribution, Properties of heart and blood vessels
