Learning Outcomes
The contents of the course are cell physiology, autonomous nervous system, neurophysiology, cardiovascular and respiratory physiology, kidney physiology, gastrointestinal physiology, endocrine system physiology and reproductive system physiology. In addition to the physiology issues covered, issues regarding modeling systems will be raised, presenting: a) in-silico modeling approaches, and b) methods and indicators for quantifying the operation of systems. Applications will be presented and students’ hands-on experience with in-silico approaches will be sought. The course will be adapted to the background of both life sciences and engineering background students. In parallel with the course, students will have the opportunity to work in small groups with students who attend course 2b (project).
By the end students will have acquired basic knowledge of what is physiology and some examples of physiological systems (nervous, cardiovascular). Further students will have acquired knowledge on the methodology of computer simulations of such systems.
General Competences
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Work autonomously
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
