Anatomophysiology II

Learning Results

The student must acquire knowledge of:
• Human physiology with integrated Anatomy, Biochemistry and Biophysics.
• Normal functioning of the human body in different age stages.
• Distinction from normal and anomalous function of all organism systems.
• Identification of the physiological processes of the different human systems.
The student must acquire skills:
• Recognition and description of the physiological processes of the various systems.
• Evaluation of normal physiological functioning of the human body in different age stages. The student must acquire competences of:
• Retain and develop knowledge of human physiology.
• Understand and describe the physiological processes of the different human systems.
