Synopsis:

Basic vocabulary. Particularity of modelling physiological systems. Models of cardiovascular hemodynamics. Models of cardiovascular system control. Models of respiratory system. Models of neural system. Models of endocrine system and glands. Models of gastrointestinal system. Models of sensory perception.

Requirements:

- senzitivity analysis of parameters of the model of electrical activity of myocardial ventricles

Study Objective:

to provide students with a methodology of design and implementation of mathematical models of selected physiological systems
