The course will provide a basic understanding of the inner organs of the human body, in terms of their structure and function. The aim is to provide knowledge about the normal physiology and the most common pathological changes affecting different organs. An important part of the course is practical exercises that examines different physiological parameters.
Course offering missing
Course offering missing for current semester as well as for previous and coming semestersContent and learning outcomes
Course contents
Anatomy, physiology and pato-physiology in the following areas will be studied: Heart and circulation, respiratory system, gastro-intestinal system, kidneys, body fluids and acid-base balance, and endocrinology.
Intended learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide basic theoretical knowledge about the physiology and pato-physiology of the human body. Practical exercises will demonstrate the use of clinical equipment and methodology for study of different physiological parameters and diagnosis of pathological changes. The acquired biomedical knowledge will provide a basis for improving and developing new clinical techniques.
