Prerequisites
aBFFY0121c Physiology I - practice
Knowledge of human biology, chemistry and physics in the extent of the corresponding subject taught at High school (secondary grammar school).
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 organisms important for clinical practice in his/her study field. Students will be able to evaluate these 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
