Annotation
Physical processes related to blood flow, measurement of haemodynamic parameters in vivo, properties of blood vessels.

The students will learn how to measure blood pressure under various degrees of load and they will observe their own ventilation parameters. Theoretical knowledge will be complemented by practical experience from excursions.
