Human physiology

The subject is to familiarize the student with physiological processes occurring in human organism. Issues related to tissue excitability, nerve and nervous system physiology, hormonal regulation of life processes, cardiac and cardiovascular function, the structure and functions of the human respiratory, digestive and excretory systems, and blood physiology will be discussed.

The lecture covers the following topics:

1. Excitability, nerve physiology, synapses.

2. Physiology of the central nervous system:

- characteristics of individual brain structures

- spinal cord characteristics

- reflex activity

- the role of the central nervous system in the regulation of the functions of individual organs of the body

3. Characteristics of the autonomic and peripheral nervous system.

4. Physiology of sense organs.

5. Movement and body posture.

6. Endocrine system.

7. Structure and physiology of the digestive system.

8. Structure and physiology of the respiratory system.

9. Kidney physiology.

The laboratories cover the following topics:

1. Blood physiology.

2. Stimulus properties, tissue excitability.

3. Skeletal and smooth muscle physiology.

4. Reflex activities of the body.

5. Physiology of sense organs.

6. Cardiovascular function and regulation.

7. Breathing physiology.
