Learning outcomes in the course
Upon completing the course the student:
Loengutel omandatakse teoreetilised teadmised üldfüsioloogias.
10 -12 liikmelistes rühmades sooritatakse praktilisi töid ja seminare, mille käigus omandatakse praktilised oskused füsioloogiliste näitajate määramiseks ning nende omavaheliste seoste leidmiseks.
Kontrolltööde käigus kontrollitakse üliõpilaste poolt omandatud teadmiste kvaliteeti.
