The course is divided into two parts: first- only lectures where students are obliged to learn the main topics of physiology nervous system, blood system, immunology, respiration, gastrointestinal physiology, reproduction and endocrinology. During the second part students will prepare seminars (talks) on specific topics chosen from the list. Invited speakers will have lectures about modern physiological methods. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.
