Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Understanding the function and management of ongoing processes in healthy body at various levels from cells to the whole organism.
The target of the subject is to give students the basic theoretical and practical knowledge about the function of the healthy body so they can understand its reaction under working conditions as well as in emergency situations or accidents.

Summary
Fyziologie je vědní obor, který zkoumá a vysvětluje činnost organismu. Vychází z vlastních pozorování, poznatků morfologických věd, biochemie a dalších teoretických oborů. Poznání pochodů, které probíhají ve zdravém organismu je základem pro pochopení reakce organismu za mimořádných situací, při extrémních zátěžích (pracovních, tepelných, působení toxických látek) nebo za patologických podmínek (nemoc, úraz atd).

5. Physiology of digestion and absorption (structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract, regulation of the gastrointestinal tract's performance, digestion)
6. Metabolism (metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, heat of combustion, the energy equivalent, basal metabolism, work metabolism, indirect calorimetry, table method of estimated energy expenditure
7. Muscle physiology (types of muscle tissue, structure of skeletal muscle, energy acquired for muscle contraction, muscle fibre types, motion control, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle)
8. Excretory system physiology(functional structure of the kidneys, glomerular filtration, tubular system, regulation of kidneys function)
9. Reaction of an organism on hot and cold load: chemic and physical thermoregulation, heat equation, heat load markers, water balance, assessment of hot and cold load
10. Neurohumoral regulation (structure and function of nervous system, sex hormones, adrenal gland cortex hormones, thyroid, catecholamines, stress, pancreatic hormones, endocrine function of kidneys, liver and heart, hormones of a diffuse endocrine system)
11. Sensory organ physiology (sight, hearing, smell, taste, skin receptors)
12. Reaction of an organism on staying in high-and reduced barometric pressure (mountain sickness, diease of divers and cofferdams) Bilogical rhythms circadian rhythm - its impact on work performance and accidents.
