Knowledge of cell biology is beneficial for comprehension of lecture content
Kompetenzziele
Goals of the Module:
Upon successful completion of this module, students
-  know molecular mechanisms of cellular physiology
-  know physiology of the following human body organ systems: muscular system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, urinary system
