Learning outcomes
Knowledge:
Levels of organization of the human body
Systems of organs
The basic processes of life
Homeostasis
Introduction to the anatomical terminology - learn to use the correct anatomical terminology Polish and English (omitting the Latin, but the understanding of the origin of most of the Latin anatomical terms English and Polish parts of terms)
- The plane of the cross-sections of the human body
- Cavity of the human body
- Around the human body
- Types of body movements
Functional relationships of individual systems - the student has to learn the physiological thinking.
Detailed knowledge of the functional anatomy of central nervous system with the understanding of the most important steps of functional circuits within it.
