The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with physiological functions of tissues and organs and with mechanisms that are relevant to their management and maintenance of homeostasis. It acquaints them with pathophysiological processes that are important in the development of a number of diseases. The aim is to acquaint students with metabolic changes when starving, the role of nutrition in the development of lifestyle diseases, dietary recommendations, and special procedures when applying artificial nutrition.
Students have theoretical knowledge of the function and regulation of individual systems including the necessary terminology. They are able to derive the basic clinical manifestations resulting from their failure and the causes of functional changes in the organism.
