Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
  • General Biology (programme PřF, M-BI, specialization Physiology of Animals)
Course objectives
The main outline of lecture is based on selected chapters of human hematology and comparative hematology of individual vertebrate classes. General principles of blood physiology considering differences among various classes of vertebrates are discussed. The lecture comprise descriptions of particular blood components, their functions, and their ontogenetic and phylogenetic development with context to their role in general blood physiological and pathophysiological functions in vertebrates.
Syllabus
  • General blood properties and functions; Blood circulation (physical properties of blood circulation); Plasma (composition, function of main components); Hematopoiesis (erythropoiesis, lymfopoiesis, granulocytopoiesis, trombopoiesis), phylogenesis of hematopoiesis; Red blood cells (functions), hemoglobin; Blood groups; White blood cells (differentiation, functions); Lymphatic system; Blood platelets (development and function); Hemocoagulation (particular factors, intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation cascades, coagulation disorders, therapeutic treatments); Angiogenesis (basic principles, pathological stages)
