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
To teach student clinically relevant examination methods and interpretation of their results in the context of physiology.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students should be able to apply practically the methods used for examination of the functions of human organ systems. Students will be capable of interpreting the acquired records with respect to physiological processes taking place in human organisms. Next, the students will derive and calculate other parameters and indices routinely used in clinical practice. Students will be able to evaluate the results acquired both by measurement and by calculation, and to explain possible deviations.
Syllabus
  • Evaluation of nutritional state. Compiling daily diet. Recruitment and summation in skeletal muscle. Blood pressure in man. Non-invasive methods of blood pressure measurement. Measurement of basic metabolic rate (BMR). Energy output in change of body position. Repay of oxygen debt. Calculation of energy expenditure. Examination of pulse by palpation. Ergometry. ECG. Blood flow in forearm (Pletysmography). Digital model of aortic function (a simulation program). Blood flow in veins. Apex beat, heart sounds. Systolic time intervals. Measurement of pulse wave velocity. Sphygmography. Kidney functions.
Literature
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 and handling of all laboratory reports and successfully passed credit test(17points/20). Current knowledge during semester can be also tested (oral or written form).
