Holding and forwarding information in living systems, regulation systems 3. Character of dispersion systems, diffusion, osmosis and its physiological meaning cryoscopy, ebulioscopy 4. Structure and function of biological important molecules: water, nucleic acids, proteins. 5. A cell as a biophysical system - structure, transport mechanisms, membrane potentials, mechanic character. 6. Biophysics of tissues and organism (biophysics of blood circulation, breathing, locomotive system, bones and joints, muscles, circulatory system, urinary system, digestive system, electric and magnetic characters of tissues. 7. Biophysics of information receipt and elaboration (perception of chemical stimuli, acoustic signals, light stimuli) 8. Biophysics of electric stimuli and effects (electricity, effects of electricity to an organism, electromagnetic field) 9. Biophysical basis of non-invasive curative methods (curative methods using mechanic energy, medical method using electricity, principles of treatment through magnetic fields, curative methods using heat, curative methods using light, physical principles of treatment through ionisation) 10. Biophysical principles of invasive curative methods (physical principles of modern surgical instruments, physical principles of main dental instruments, devices supporting or replacing function of organs) Seminars: 1.
