Course objectives
The course objective is to acquaint students with functions of the various organs and organ systems. The course builds on knowledge of the macroscopic and microscopic structure of the human body, acquired in anatomy. The course is part of a complex group of basic study courses. The knowledge of physiology is followed by pathology and pathophysiology.
Learning outcomes
Professional Knowledge: Students can define the terms of physiology, explain these concepts and also explain the function of individual organ systems.
Professional Skills: Students can use the terminology in their practice, as it forms the cornerstone of their work.
General Qualification: Students understand the terminology and use the knowledge working as a dental hygienists, i.e. taking care of clients / patients of all ages from children to seniors.
Competences: Students have acquired the ability to use the professional terminology and will continue to develop it on the theoretical level during further studies and clinical practice.
