Course detail
Biophysics
CESA-SBFYAcad. year: 2021/2022
General biophysics covers the main study areas of general as well as medical biophysics, namely biophysics of membranes, senses, the cardiovascular and respiratory system, laboratory and clinical optical methods, hazards and biophysical interactions of some instrumentation methods including elements of radiobiology. Practical exercises and demonstrations to show the students how to measure non-electric parameters of living organisms, that correspond to the theoretical lessons.
