| Prerequisites | |
| Skills to be acquired in this module | ++ biological knowledge ++ knowledge of biological working methods + biologically relevant knowledge in the natural sciences and mathematics + statistics & scientific programming ++ abstract, logical, analytical thinking + deepened expertise in biological specialist field ++ independent learning and (research-based) working + teamwork Basic knowledge on physiological processes and their underlying mechanisms with a focus on human physiology. Designing, performing, documenting and analysing physiological experiments; troubleshooting, basic statistics, "experimental thinking". |
| Module contents | The lecture covers topics such as cell physiology, sensory physiology, neurophysiology, functions of the vegetative system, blood physiology/immune response, blood cycle, respiration and digestion. Emphasis will be on human physiology. In the following lab exercises, students get the opportunity to perform physiological experiments linking to topics from the lecture. By performing experiments on themselves and computer simulations students will gain insight into the underlying physiological principles. |
