Anotace
The course focuses on the physical processes related to blood flow, measuring hemodynamic parameters in vivo and properties of blood vessels. Special attention will be given to artificial capillary systems and their application in treatment of renal or lung insuficiency. Further properties of human tissue and body fluids will be discussed, including methods of measurement. Students will also learn about the measurement of fundamental physiological variables. This knowledge will be complemented with the basics of electrochemistry, optics and acoustics, always in relation to the human body and in biological systems. Theoretical knowledge will be complemented by practical experience in laboratories.
Cíle studia
Acquaint students with basic physiological principles in terms of physical laws.
