Course objectives

Human physiology is defined as a science of the functions of healthy organism at the level of cell, tissue, organ and organ systems. Pathophysiology is focused on etiopathogenesis - the mechanisms which lead from the primary cause via individual malfunctions to subsequent development of clinical symptoms of disease. Knowledge of these mechanisms serves to develop a suitable and efficient therapy and prevent resultant damage.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student will be able to: - describe the physiology and pathophysiology of the main organs - recognize subjective and objective symptoms of diseases - examine the main physiological functions - interpret examination results

Teaching methods

In person form lectures, seminars, exercises, exercises in selected examination techniques, acquired data analysis, consultations

Assessment methods

For the admission to the exam is necessary 100% participation in the exercises and fulfillment of the assignment of the exercise. Each teacher decides the fulfillment of the obligations arising from the exercises they teach. A seminar thesis on given topics, written test or an interview can be assigned. Completion of the course - oral exam. Students randomly choose three questions from three areas. It is necessary to answer all three questions.

Language of instruction

English

Further comments (probably available only in Czech)

The course can also be completed outside the examination period.

Teacher's information

Without recognition the previous course Human Physiology and Pathophysiology I or granting the credits of it in winter semester is not possible to continue this course Human Physiology and Pathophysiology II. In this case is also impossible to completion the course by the exam.

The course is also listed under the following terms Spring 2020, Spring 2021, Spring 2022, Spring 2023, Spring 2024.
