- Syllabus
- Program of TUTORIAL I: Intercellular contact Mechanical, electrical and humoral coupling, ligands and receptors. Second messengers. Resting membrane potential Na/K ATP-ase, diffusion currents, electro-chemical gradient, equilibrium potential. Physiological importance of resting membrane potential. Action potential Local responses, selective conductivity of membrane channels, mechanism of depolarization, transpolarization and repolarization. Principles of muscle contraction Contractile proteins, troponin and tropomyosin, role of calcium, mechanism of relaxation. Differences between smooth, skeletal and heart muscle. Program of TUTORIAL II: Interpretation of the ECG curve a) Electric field of the heart as a vector ( source, determinants, projection on the body surface ) b) Limb and chest leads ( bipolar, unipolar ) c) Construction of the mean electrical axis of the heart ( Eindhoven triangle, paralelogram ) d) Diagnostic value of ECG Cardiac cycle a) Phases of cardiac cycle and their time course ( polygram, intracardiac pressures, heart volume, heart sounds ) b) Phases of cardiac cycle in pressure / volume representation ( effect of changes in preload and afterload ) Autoregulation of cardiac functions a) Starling principle b) Effect of frequency on contractility c) Effect of frequency on the duration of action potential ( Q-T interval ) Program of TUTORIAL III: Heart as a muscle a) Cardiac contractility and its measurement b) Stroke scheme, cardiac output, ejection fraction c) Cardiac energetics Coronary circulation a) Anatomy and functional features ( specialties ) b) Regulation of coronary flow c) Coronary reserve and ischaemic heart disease Rheology ( of blood circulation ) a) Resistance and capacitance vessels b) Poisseuiles law, Laplaces law c) Blood pressure in separate ( different ) parts of blood circulation Program of TUTORIAL IV: Immune mechanisms 1) Development of the immune system. T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, memory T and B cells, antigen presenting cells. Clones. 2) Cellular immunity. Major histocompatibility complex. NK cells, T4 helper cells, T8 killer cells, T8 suppressor cells. 3) Humoral immunity. Immunoglobulins IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE. 4) The complement system. C1 - C9. Properdin. 5) Lymphokines and cytokines. IL 1, IL 2, IL 3. Colony stimulating factors, GM - CSF. Interferons. Tumor necrosis factor.
- Assessment methods (in Czech)
- Účast na 4 seminářích v zimním a na 4 v letním semestru je předpokladem k udělení zápočtu. Znalosti z praktické výuky jsou důležitou součástí i ústní zkoušky!!!
