Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
At the end of the course, students will have sufficient theoretical background required for profession of physician. Student should be able to recall principles of human body functions in detail - from a cell level, across particular organs to a complex human organism. Students will be able to explain relationships among chemical, physical and biological factors of living processes. An essential aim is that students acquire critical scientific thinking, ability of independent text analysis and fundamental information selection.
Learning outcomes
Ability to interprete physiological functions of human body with respect of further studied subjects.

Teaching methods
Lessons are led in the form of lectures.
Assessment methods
The final examination in Physiology consists of two parts: practical and oral. Successful passing of a practical examination is a condition for admission to the oral examination. During practical examination student randomly chooses one of the methods and practically demonstrates and explains the measured parameters; for the oral examination, 3 questions are randomly chosen via IS MUNI by PC and the student answers them immediately. The practical examination represents 20% and the oral examination 80% of final grade. Students pass the examination at Physiology on condition that they succeed in both abovementioned parts.
