Course description:
To learn the basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology for students without medical background. It focuses
on mechanisms of key organ systems related to ergonomics, namely metabolism, circulation, respiration,
nutrition, neurological and musculoskeletal system. It focuses on evaluations and applications of physical
performance and working environment, such as temperature control or working posture as well as some
indicators of workload.
