| course aims in English |
- To introduce specific
features of the biological systems, and biophysical, physiological and
other processes, which are important in the physiology of living
systems, and connected determinations and terminology.
- To present the essentials of the main physiological processes,
and to show possible solutions of the problems connected with the
development of realisable artificial technical analogies of them. |
| learning outcomes of the subject in Eng. |
Having finished the study of the subject a student has to be able:
- to recognise characteristic features of the biological and
technical systems, and their functional parameters and characteristics.
- to find analogy in biological and technical systems, and to
select suitable solutions for realising these analogies by means of
electronic appliances. |
