The lectures in the winter semester include physiology of the cell, general neurophysiology including physiology of
muscles, blood, circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems. In the summer semester, regulation in which
kidneys, the endocrine system and central nervous system take part are dealt with.
Practical labs is aimed at verification of theoretical knowledge and at training certain skills through investigation of
some functions of the human organism and their regulatory mechanisms as well as through experiments on
animals. Computer models and patient simulators complement the labs.

The requirements to receive the credit from the winter semester: Obligatory collection of 16 or more (max. 19) points received during the semester by: 1. Active attendance in the labs – attending each lab with appropriate knowledge covering the particular lab topic; active completion of practical tasks; the protocol including the results and interpretation. 2. Successful passing of the revision tests from 8 lab topics = max. 8 points (obtained during three revision weeks). Points can only be obtained by attending “in-person” labs and “in-person ”revision tests.
The requirements to receive the credit from the summer semester: Obligatory collection of 17 or more (max. 20) points received during the semester by: 1. Active attendance in the labs – attending each lab with appropriate knowledge covering the particular lab topic; active completion of practical tasks; the protocol including the results and interpretation. 2. Successful passing of the revision tests from 9 lab topics = max. 9 points (obtained during three revision weeks). Points can only be obtained by attending “in-person” labs and “in-person ”revision tests. Last update: Kuriščák Eduard, MUDr., Ph.D. (23.09.2022)

The final exam consist of four parts: 1. Written test (entrance test), containing 20 questions; questions are either multiple choice, single correct or fill-in ones. Time limit 20 min. 2. ECG test, routine part of exam, students are required to describe one ECG curve. Time limit 10 min. 3. Lab examination. One question from the lab practicals. Time limit for preparation 15 min. 4. Theory examination. Three questions (triplet), one of them is from neurophysiology. Time limit for preparation 20 min.
Evaluation of exam: The final exam takes part during the summer semester exam period. Exam is successfully passed upon successful passing of all four parts of exam. Successful passing of the third term exam (second correction term) does not require successful passing of the written test. Each exam term consists of all four parts.
Examination requires: 1. Valid SIS exam registration for particular term detailed dates for examination terms in SS (summer semester) will be announced on SIS and on our webpage: one preterm during the 15. week four terms in regular exam period one term during vacations two term in September, the last one not later than September 9 2. Physiology credits signed for winter and summer semesters 3. Student ID card
Excuse from the exam: Students are obliged to claim the exam excuse ahead of the particular exam term, otherwise you exam term is spent (lost). Receiving your apology after the respective exam term requires reasonable and documented justification in order to not lose the term.
