Experiments to evaluate nerve, muscle, heart, circulation, respiration, and sensory organ function in humans.
Learning objective
Practical experience of physiology. Learning of fundamental assessments of physiological functions in humans and of correct interpretations of measurement data.
Content
Determination of nerve conduction time, recording of electromyogram (EMG; single stimuli and summatin) and mechanogram; measurement of lung function and oxygen consumption; assessment of cardiovascular adjustments in response to orthostatic challenges and exercise; computer simulation of the cardiovascular system under different conditions; determination of hearing threshold level, visual acuity, accommodation and field of vision.
