1. Definition, practice, history, present and future of biomechanics (from bionics to genetic engineering and biocompatibility).
2. Methods of medical and engineering diagnostics (RTG, CT, MRI, statistics, experiments).
3. Anatomy of musculoskeletal system and motoric of plants, animals and humans and laboratory autopsy of fish.
