Course detail
Physiology of Man
FEKT-BPC-FYZAcad. year: 2020/2021
Human physiology deals with normal functions of human organism, its organs and tissues, cells, cell organellas and molecules. It lays emphasis on how the partial functions are regulated to correspond to the situation at each time and how are simultaneously integrated into the higher, highly improved unit - organism.
