Sažetak
According to the meaning of the syntagma physiological anthropology this branch of anthropology dealing with functions and vital processes of living organisms or, their parts and organs, became with the joining of biomechanics very close to the main meaning of mentioned syntagma. From this point of view, physiological anthropology should have the main scope to investigate various characteristics of the human beings (and other living systems), and how different parts or organs of an organism work to gether to achieve a particular function. For example, all kinds of human movement are consequence of muscle contraction that occurs through action of chemical messengers produced by nerves that supply the muscle. On the other side, the description of the human movement is the task of biomechanics, which depends among other things on the distribution of the masses during the motion. From the European Standards viewpoint the ergonomics principles are established to be followed during the process of design of work equipment, especially machine of the system. So European Standard applies to the interactions between man as operator and the work equipment when operating, adjusting, maintaining etc. The outlines of the principles should be followed taking into account health and safety of the man in the whole system. In this work we emphasized some parts of the System Man &#8211 ; machine &#8211 ; environment where is possible to verify actual recommendations of Standards. There are questions of human orientation, manual handling, human working efforts, ergonomic design principles, sitting pressure questions, design for safety, quality of life and design for disabled persons. All mentioned titles were analyzed on the basis of the anthropo-dynamical values.
