Passed Science year’s first-year examination. Knowledge of Enzymes and Membranes (BMB502). Anatomy (SU501) is highly recommended.

Course introduction
To give participants
1. knowledge of the normal function of the body and the individual organs in order to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms and thus prevention and treatment of diseases and to give an understanding of qualifications necessary to help people with physial and mental well-being.
2. insight in collecting knowledge and critically estimate the information in the light of the exactness, specificity and sources of error of the applied methods.
3. certain knowledge of physiological research.

Qualifications
By the end of the course the students can:
a) demonstrate knowledge of physiological terms and ideas in so far as it is necessary for the ongoing study.
b) explain (or hypothesise) the function of specific organs or organ systems on the basis of existing knowledge.
c) explain the control systems of the organism including the effects of disturbances of the individual organs or normal function of the organ system.
d) decribe the fundamental methods applied in physiology includigng methods applied in the clinic and be able to explain the specificity, source of error and exactness of the methods.
e) calculate and interpret methods based on data collected with physiological methods of measurement.
