Anotace
This lecture course is focused on advancing the participant's knowledge of human body anatomy and physiology. Our main areas of interest are the body development and growth, and body functions control through endocrine and nervous systems.
The participants will also acquire knowledge of the basics of first aid procedures, especially the cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The course belongs to compulsory courses of all postgraduate study programs in the Faculty of Education.
