Thematik

Following a short review of the relevant physiological regulatory mechanisms, this course focuses on the adaptation limits of the human body under extreme strain situations. The knowledge gained here gives assistance to students with the understanding of the physiological integrative collaboration of organ systems of the human body. Sessions embrace the physiological regulatory mechanisms of the body, the collaboration of different organ systems, while special emphasis is placed on the possible physiological limits and their origins in cases of: high altitudes, deep sea diving, high and low environmental temperatures, starvation and obesity, dehydration and heavy water/salt intake, physical exercise, movement or inactivity, effects of gravity, accelerations, kinetosis, weightlessness, then vision, hearing, intellectual work, attention, concentration, learning/memory, exhaustion, sleep withdrawal, psychological tensions and behavioral activity, usage of tools to overcome these limits.
