Annotation -
Within the framework of the course "Basics of Pharmaceutical Botany" students will be acquainted with the basics of anatomy, histology, anatomy and morphology of pharmatically important plants. Another subject of the course is the biogenesis of basic primary and secondary pharmacologically important metabolites of plants and clarification of regulation of plant physiological processes.
