Course description:
Biomechanics: energetics of the heart
mechanism. transport processes, flow of fluids, heart, diffusion, oxygen
supply of tissues. The forms of heat exchange, osmosis. Bioenergetics:
the laws of thermodynamics, manifestations of Gibbs free energy, chemiosmotic
theory, passive and active transport through biomembranes, photosynthesis,
respiratory electron transport in mitochondria. Bioelectricity: Donnan
equilibrium, Goldman potential, phenomenological and molecular description
of action potential. Radiation biophysics, dosimetry. Biophysics of organs
and sensory organs: elasticity of tissues, heart, visison, hearing, the
mechanism contraction of muscles, (Hill equation, contractile polypeptides).
Methods of structural investigations in biophysics, optical and resonance
spectroscopies processes. The Molecular biophysics: structure and function
of biomolecules (polipeptides, proteins and DNA) the connection between
structure and function. Matematical modelling of biological processes (evolution
and population models).
