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
The aim of the course is to learn the student to practically control the basic examination methods for evaluation of functions of organism important for clinical practice in his/her study field. Students will be able to evaluate this results and to explain possible deviations.
Learning outcomes
After finishing this subject, the student at the level of the field studied, will be able ;
to perform a basic functional examination of the human organ systems;
interpret the acquired records in relation to physiological processes occurring in the human organism;
to derive and calculate other parameters commonly used in clinical practice;
to evaluate the measured results and to explain any deviations
Syllabus
  • Methodology in physiology (experiment, work with animals, clinical tests,statistics, results).

Teaching methods
The course is organized in the form of laboratory practices where students examine each other by given method, and they prepare the report from measured data.
Assessment methods
Credits are given on the basis of full attendance in practices, handling of all laboratory reports, writing 3 topic-tests, and writing credit-test. The topic-test consists of 10 questions evaluated by10 points - students successfully pass the test if they reach at least 5 points. The credit-test consists of 20 questions evaluated by 20 points - students successfully pass the test if they reach at least 12 points.
