Human and Animal Morphophysiology

This course is intended to provide students with a knowledge of human and animal morphophysiology. The course include material about the concept, historical review of morphophysiology, methods in morphophysiology investigation, organization of the body, terminology, histology, the skin and its derivatives; homeostasis, key aspects of functioning of the nervous system, sense organs, endocrine system, their influence for the self-regulation of the organism; bones, joints, muscles; morphophysiology of the heart and vascular, lymphatic, lymphoid, respiratory, digestive systems; basics of nutrition physiology, morphophysiology of the urogenital system, non-renal excretion.

The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of human and animal morphophysiology.
