| The goal | To prepare students for functional and deeper approach to specific knowledge acquired at the basic course of Physiology. To enable students for complex over - viewing of different physiological processes in animals body and to create basis for understanding changes in organs functioning during diseases.. To assure efficient acquiring of knowledge in other similar subjects and to make easier understanding and follow up of the current literature in this subject matter. | |||
| The outcome | After successful finishing course, students will acquire following knowledge: detailed understanding of physiological processes, mechanisms and principles of their regulations in domestic animals organisms, information about functions of organ systems, specificity of physiological processes in different domestic animals species. | |||
