Synopsis:

The aim of the subject is to provide students with basic concepts used in anatomy and physiology. The following topics will be treated with special attention: anatomic structure of human body, function of individual specialized systems and their principles of physiological regulations including physiology of metabolism. There will be explained structure and function of pneumogastric and urogenital systems, of nervous system and sensual organs as well as that of cardiorespiratory system.

Requirements:

Conditions for approval: presence in seminars and labs

Syllabus of lectures:
