Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to become familiar with physiological functions of tissues and organs and with mechanisms playing a role in their control and in homeostasis maintenance. It acquaints with pathophysiological processes that play a role in the development of a number of illnesses. Clinical nutrition focuses on metabolic changes in starvation, the role of nutrition in the development of civilization illnesses, dietological recommendations, and special procedures involved in providing artificial nutrition.
The student has theoretical knowledge of the function and regulation of individual systems including necessary terminology. The student will be able to infer basic clinical manifestations from their disorders and causes of functional changes in an organism.
