Objectives
Objectives
To strengthen the application of the basic concepts of physics to life sciences, with a view to deeply understanding the operation and regulation mechanisms of organs and living organisms. At the theoretical level the student should acquire the ability to apply the knowledge and methodology of physics in explaining and understanding of the phenomena associated with life sciences. At the theoretical and practical level, the student should get the skills to understand the basic methodologies involved in computer simulation of some physiological processes
