      The goal To inform students in details about regulatory mechanisms of homeostasis, about the origin, concentration, half life, metabolism and function of blood plasma and serum, RBC, Le, and Tr, lymph, CSL, fluids in body cavities, ejaculate, follicular fluid, body excretions, milk and eggs. To enable students for understanding and follow up of literature concerning body fluids.
      The outcome After finishing the course students will acquire following knowledge: detailed biochemical composition and physiological roles of body fluid components, methods for quantitative and qualitative detection of organic body fluid components.
