PHYSIOLOGY

1) physiology of the nervous system:
-Structure of the nervous cell.
-Action potential.
-Synapse and receptors.
-Somaticsensation and its receptors.
-Organization of the somatosensory system.
-Organization of the motor system.
-Spinal reflexes.
-Somatostopic organization of the motor and somatosensory cortex.
2) cardiovascular system:
-Rhythmicity, conduction, excitability of the heart.
-Elements of cardiac electrophysiology: membrane potential and action potential.
-ECG.
-Heart mechanics.
-Cardiac output and stroke volume.
-Intrinsic and extrinsic regulation of heart activity.
-Circulatory system.
-Artery pressure.
3) Respiratory system:
-The torax and respiratory muscles.
-Lung volumes.
-respiratory mechanics.
-Gas exchanges.
-Oxygen and CO2 blood transportation.
4) Urinary system:
-The kidney. Relation between morphology and function. Vascularization.
-Filtration.
-Secretion and adsorption.
-pH balance.
