Learning outcomes
|
The temporal structure of the human organism is important in the interpretation of the values of some laboratory characteristics.
After completing the course, students will understand the importance of some oscillations in physiological regulation and changes in the effects of chronobiotics. Students will also learn to integrate the time structure of the human body as an important factor in interpreting the values of some laboratory characteristics.
