Animal physiology - opis przedmiotu

Cel przedmiotu

To familiarise students with the structure and functioning of the major physiological systems of animals. To show dependencies and mechanisms of cooperation of individual organs and organs at the level of the organism. Mechanisms of maintaining homeostasis in the body. To teach the basic principles of safe work in the animal physiology laboratory and the operation of basic laboratory equipment such as light microscope, centrifuge, spectrophotometer, automatic pipettes, urine analyser. Creating the need to take responsibility for obtaining the correct analytical result. Developing a critical approach to the results obtained and analysing possible analytical errors.
