Topic

The course discusses complex concepts of human physiology based on questions and answers. The main goal is to expand the knowledge grounded by the physiology 1 course and to give a more practical point of view. The course emphasizes the medical relevances of our theoretical knowledge on human physiology. Students also have the opportunity to ask their physiology related questions during the program. The duration of the course is 6X2 hours. The following main topics are discussed: blood, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestion, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and pH regulation.
