Cilj predmeta: During classes, through fifteen thematic units, students are introduced to the basics physiology of birds and higher mammals, organ functions, physical and chemical processes within cells, senses and the influence of the external environment on the basic functions of organisms. They process are specificities of certain physiological processes important for omnivores, carnivores and herbivores

In addition to auditory classes, students actively participate through the preparation of seminars, presentations and posters. Weekly schedule/class schedule: 1.
