752-6305-00L | Physiology and Anatomy I | 2 credits | 2V | D. Burdakov, D. Peleg-Raibstein | |
Abstract | Imparts a basic understanding of physiology and anatomy, focusing on the interrelations between morphology and function of the human organism. This is fostered by discussing all subjects from a functional point of view. One major topic of the lecture is food intake, food taste, and digestion with its correlated neural, endocrine and metabolic processes. | ||||
Learning objective | At the end of the course the students understand the basic functions of the organ systems and functionally important morphological features. One focus of the course is on aspects related to nutrition and overweight including the resulting diseases. | ||||
752-6307-00L | Physiology and Anatomy III | 3 credits | 2V | D. Burdakov, D. Peleg-Raibstein | |
Abstract | Imparts an advanced understanding of physiology, focusing on the link between nutrition and function of the mammalian organism. This is fostered by discussing all subjects from a viewpoint of health and disease. A major topic of the lectures is the link between nutrition and brain function, including mental health and neurodegenerative disorders. | ||||
Learning objective | At the end of the course, the students understand the biological and nutritional underpinnings of physiology with specific examples relating to brain functions. | ||||
Lecture notes | Handouts for each topic will be made available on Moodle. |
