Learning outcomes
Student can describe in details the modelling approaches, which are applied to describe and reconstruct physical properties and physiology of the cardiovascular and nervous system. Student is able to classify modelling approaches and select appropriate models as research and development tools. Student can use numerical methods for solving of the underlying systems of equations.

Evaluation criteria for the course
The final grade of the course is determined based on the assessment of all part of the course. The weighting factor of each part is given at the beginning of the course. Grades 1-2: Learning outcomes have been achieved. Satisfactory command in core content of the course. Grades 3-4: Some learning outcomes have been exceeded qualitatively or quantitatively. Good command in core content and complementary knowledge of the course. Good or very good marks from all parts of the course. Grade 5: Most of the learning outcomes have been exceeded. Deep command in the whole content of the course. Almost maximum performance in all parts of the course.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
