SP characteristics

The study program of Animal Physiology deals with physiological phenomena at the whole organismal level or body systems, as well as individual organs or tissues. This is a highly complex field characterized by interdisciplinary approach to studying the life processes and their regualtions. It integrates the knowledge of physical principles, biochemical reactions and cellular mechanisms to study organs, organ systems and their functions, as well as complex regulation of body processes. In parallel, it systematically combines, elaborates and integrates information from many related disciplines, including molecular, cellular and developmental biology, functional anatomy, morphology, pathology, biochemistry and biophysics. Physiological research uses different molecular biology, biochemical and physical methods, including various electrophysiological and microscopic techniques.
