2. COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is a continuation of the course Medical Physics and Biophysics I taught in the previous
semester. This is also an introductory course giving students insight into physical principles and laws that
are needed for the understanding of processes in the physiology of the human body, anatomy, pathology,
histology, etc. While the first course covered Mechanics and Hydromechanics, this one treats all other
1
parts of Physics, Thermodynamics, Electricity, Optics, Atomic and Nuclear Physics.
The basic aim of this course is to demonstrate on concrete biological materials the way in which physical
processes, happening in the same way throughout the Cosmos, but under different conditions, transform
into qualitatively new physiological manifestations that characterize a living organism.
It is therefore the aim of this course to inform and equip students with basic knowledge about the
“physics of living organisms”.
After finishing this course, students will have acquired the ability to define basic empirical and theoretical
findings on how biological systems operate, derived out of the fundamental laws of physics.
Students will be able to understand the basic principles of modelling and experimental techniques used
in analyses of the human body. They will be able to understand the complexity of physical
manifestations occurring in “living matter”.
