Human Physiology with elements of clinical physiology course allows to learn concepts and understand regulatory processes of human of system and organs. It also allows to understand the interactions between human body systems.

The aim of Human Physiology with elements of clinical physiology course is to present to Student physiological processes and mechanisms responsible for homeostasis in human body. During the course's lectures physiology fundaments are presented with special regards to nervous system, respiratory system and cardiovascular system. At the beginning of the course Student is going learn about neuron structure and cell membrane elements’ responsible for cellular transport, e.g. ion channels, pumps. Next, information concerning resting and action membrane potential are presented as principal mechanisms regulating information conducting within neuron. Information conduction is also discussed based on synaptic transmission. Furthermore, the lectures and tutorials allow to present and examine the mechanism of skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, as well as regulation of contraction force. Finally, sensory and higher brain functions neurophysiology are discussed during tutorials. Aside from neurophysiology, the lectures and tutorial concentrate on respiratory and cardiovascular system physiology.

The human physiology course enables the student to learn basic concepts and understand the processes that regulate the functioning of individual organs and systems. It also allows you to understand the relationships between individual elements of the human body.

The aim of the Physiology course is to familiarize students with the physiological processes and mechanisms responsible for the homeostasis of the human body. Lectures on Physiology are intended to present and consolidate knowledge of the basics of physiology: acquiring basic knowledge of the physiology of the nervous system. The student will become acquainted with the basic mechanisms of nerve cell functioning, will learn about the properties of the nerve cell's cell membrane and its role in the genesis of the resting potential and action potential as well as synaptic transmission. Lectures on Physiology also aim to present and consolidate knowledge of the basics of physiology: acquiring basic knowledge of the physiology of the circulatory system, internal secretion, urinary and digestive system and acid-base balance. The student will also learn about water and electrolyte management, kidney physiology and intrarenal regulation mechanisms. The student will also gain knowledge about hemostatic mechanisms and the effects of hemostatic disorders. Additionally, you will gain knowledge about the regulation of the digestive system and its physiology.

The exercises are laboratory in nature and are partially related to the issues discussed during lectures. The student will learn about the importance of the appropriate composition of extracellular fluid in the formation and transmission of information in the nervous system and the operation of chemical and electrical synapses. Then the student will learn the mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction, types of contraction and mechanisms regulating the force of contraction of these muscles. At the end of the physiology course, the student will become familiar with the neurobiological basis of reflexes and the operation of the movement control system. The student will also gain knowledge about the impact of environmental factors on the functioning of the respiratory system and the importance of spirometry in assessing the functioning of the respiratory system. The aim of the exercises is also to become familiar with ECG examination, blood pressure measurement, as well as functional changes occurring in the circulatory system as a result of changes in body position and after dynamic and static physical exercise. The student will also gain knowledge of the physiology of the hematopoietic system and basic blood laboratory parameters. The student will become familiar with the mechanisms of glomerular filtration, intrarenal regulation, and the mechanisms of action of hormones influencing the volume, concentration and composition of urine. He will also become acquainted with the mechanism of action of buffers and acid-base management, and their importance in body homeostasis. The aim of the exercises is also to learn the mechanism of action of hormones and the consequences of hormonal disorders. Additionally, you will learn about the course and regulation of reproductive functions in women and men. During classes on the physiology of the digestive system, he will learn about the operation of enzymes involved in digestion, the mechanism of hydrochloric acid production in the stomach, the role of bile, and the course of absorption of digestion products. In addition, he will become acquainted with the types of metabolic changes. The analysis of energy balance and neurohormonal mechanisms of body weight control will help to understand the principles of proper nutrition and the elimination of erroneous behaviors leading to metabolic disorders and the so-called lifestyle diseases. During the seminar classes, the student will learn the basics of neurophysiology with elements of pathophysiology.
