Abstract	Delivery of practical insight into research methods relevant to the field by means of demonstrations and small projects in the areas of Human Movement Science and Sport, Medical Technology, Molecular Health Sciences, and Neurosciences.
Learning objective	Students can experience research methods that may arise in the field of Health Sciences and Technology.
Content	- Human Movement Science and Sport: movement analysis, biomechanical measurement techniques - Medical Technology: prostheses - Molecular Health Sciences: metabolism, behaviour - Neurosciences: neurological measurement techniques, neurorehabilitation - Clinical Research
752-6301-00L	Selected Topics in Physiology Related to Nutrition	3 credits	2V	W. Langhans
Abstract	Gives the students background knowledge necessary for a basic understanding of the complex relationships between food composition and nutrition on one hand and the functioning, as well as the malfunctioning, of major organ systems on the other hand.
Learning objective	Some basic knowledge in physiology is recommended for this course, which revisits important physiological topics, emphasizing their relation to nutrition. The aim is to give the students background knowledge necessary for a basic understanding of the complex relationships between food composition and nutrition on one hand and the functioning, as well as the malfunctioning, of major organ systems on the other hand. For students with a background in medicine, pharmacy or biology, the course is useful as a review of previously acquired knowledge. Major topics are basic neuroanatomy and neurophysiology; general endocrinology; the physiology of taste and smell; nutrient digestion and absorption; intermediary metabolism and energy homeostasis; and some aspects of cardiovascular physiology and water balance.
Lecture notes	Handouts for each lecture will be made available every week: http://www.fpb.ethz.ch/teaching/handouts.html
752-6305-AAL	Physiology and Anatomy I Enrolment ONLY for MSc students with a decree declaring this course unit as an additional admission requirement. Any other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course unit.	2 credits	4R	W. Langhans
Abstract	Imparts a basic understanding of physiology and anatomy in man, focusing on the interrelations between morphology and function of the human organism. This is fostered by discussing all subjects from a functional point of view. One major topic of the lecture is food intake and digestion with its correlated chemosensory, endocrine and metabolic processes.
Learning objective	At the end of the course the students understand the basic functions of the organ systems and functionally important morphological features. One focus of the course is on aspects related to nutrition and overweight including the resulting diseases.

752-6306-AAL	Physiology and Anatomy II Enrolment ONLY for MSc students with a decree declaring this course unit as an additional admission requirement. Any other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course unit.	3 credits	6R	W. Langhans
Abstract	Imparts a basic understanding of physiology and anatomy in man, focusing on the close interrelations between morphology and function of the human organism. This is fostered by discussing all subjects from a functional point of view. A major topic of the lecture is food intake and digestion with its correlated endocrine and metabolic processes.
Learning objective	After this course the students are able to understand basic principles of systems physiology and the mechanisms of the function of the major organ systems.
