Physiology

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Physiology is a subject given to understand the function of the various organic systems and the way molecular structure is expressed in these systems. The motor and behavioral responses in each individual result from their harmonious physiological functioning.
• ProgramaProgramme

  Endocrinology: Endocrine central control, endocrine glands and their functions. Digestive System: Regulation of gastrointestinal functions, movements and secretions, fermentation and non-fermentation processes, utilization of nutrients after-absorption; Cardiovascular System : Cardiac electrical activity, electrocardiogram, blood circulation, local control of blood flow, neural and hormonal control of blood pressure and blood volume; Respiratory system : Lung ventilation, vascularization, gas exchange and transport of gases, non-respiratory functions; Urogenital system; Neurologic system; Muscle contraction; Homeostasis - Acid-base balance and thermoregulation.
• ObjectivosObjectives
