Annotation -
This compulsory elective course comprises lectures and practical work. It is intended for master's and doctoral students, particularly those interested in the physiology of animals and humans. The lectures provide a systematic overview of the physiology of the cardiovascular system and skeletal muscles at whole-body, organ, cellular and molecular levels. It addresses functional, metabolic and structural issues. The course also focuses on the effects of physical stress, hormonal imbalance, hypoxia and cold exposure on the heart as well as the skeletal muscle. The course provides basic information on selected pathological conditions. The course includes a practical course which allows students to become familiar with techniques for studying the heart and skeletal muscle. Students are also introduced to physiological methods of measuring cardiac function on various experimental models. Students perform stress measurements of cardiopulmonary function using an ergometer Cardioline. Practical training includes a visit to the Intitute of Clinical and Expreimental Cardiology. The results of the practical training are presented in the form of a project within the groups.
