Course objectives
After completion of the course student: understands elementary cellular processes; comprehends the complexity of intercellular communication and mutual regulation of individual cells in a multicellular organism; is able to explain the difference between healthy and pathologically-working cell; is able to express basic coherence between malfunction in cellular processes and development of diseases, especially hereditary diseases, cancers or developmental defects. Student is also able to apply this knowledge and skills in the following courses.

Assessment methods
The course is completed with a written exam test containing 60 questions. In one ne half of the test questions student choses between yes/no (without negative marking).

Attendance at the lectures is optional.
Language of instruction
Czech
Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
The course is taught annually.
