Physiology and Biomechanics in Physiotherapy

Anatomy: structures of central and peripheral nervous system, development and maturation during the first year, structures of the respiratory and circulatory system. Physiology: structure and functions of the nerve cell, motor behavior regulation and sensory functions in motor regulation (neurophysiology), muscle and load physiology, heart rate regulation, blood circulation and regulation, respiratory physiology, respiratory diffusion and respiratory regulation. Biomechanics: base of support, gravity, center of gravity, internal and external forces and how they affect human movement, muscle work and basics of human movement analysis
