Annotation -
Physiology focuses on studying and understanding the functions of the normal healthy human body from the molecular and cellular levels through organs and organ systems to the level of the whole organism on the basis of current scientific knowledge and evidence. In the winter semester, general physiology, including mechanisms of cellular regulation and excitable tissues, basics of immunology, hematology, central nervous system and senses, and endocrinology are covered. In the summer semester, the cardiovascular system, metabolism, physiology of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory physiology kidneys are studied. The causal relationships and control mechanisms are analyzed. Practical exercises verify the most important mechanisms and principles of these functions. There is an increasing emphasis on the ability to work deductively and independently. The goal is to understand the normally functioning human body and to highlight key processes that may be sources of pathological processes. Scientific thinking and the foundations of evidence-based clinical reasoning are developed. The approach of integrating the functions of cells, tissues, and organs into the healthy human body is consistently emphasized.

Course completion requirements -

The physiology examination consists of two parts: the final computer test and the oral examination. Prior to the test and exam, student is obliged to identify himself/herself and to prove obtaining the semester credits by presenting his/her index. The computer test consists of 54 true/false questions. The student will receive one point for each correct answer. The pass mark is 38 points. The test duration is 30 minutes. If student passes the test successfully, he/she advances automatically to the consequent oral exam, nevertheless he/she can (with exception of preterm) still deregister (immediately after the test ask the supervising teacher or the secretary of the Dept. of Physiology). If student fails, he/she does not lose the exam term and he/she can register for the next free term (at the earliest in a week). In the oral exam the student will answer 4 questions, including one question from practical exercises. All the questions are published in the syllabus (curriculum) with titles underlined. The approximate time for preparation for the oral exam is ~30 min. If student fails, he/she can register for the next free term (at the earliest in a week). The successful final computer test will not be repeated.

Requirements to the exam -

In the winter semester, the teaching concludes with a credit, and in the summer semester, with a credit and an exam. Throughout the teaching, students are tested on various topics.

Credit – Requirements

  1. The full attendance of the practical exercises (the absence due to serious reasons could be substituted at the end of each semester).
  2. Pass all credit tests.
  3. Protocols of the practical exercises checked and signed by the appropriate assistant professor.

Learning outcomes -

Learning Objectives and Skills

The following general learning objectives and skills will be assessed in the final exam to an extent that corresponds to the breadth and level of detail of the key syllabus terms, lectures, and recommended teaching materials of the physiology subject.

General learning objectives:

Explain, describe, and correctly use terms and key words according to the syllabus. Identify, deduce, and analyze causal relationships of physiological processes at the cellular, organ, and whole organism levels. Explain and interpret regulatory processes of nervous, hormonal, and local systems including their interactions. Explain, deduce, and interpret interactions of different organ systems. Describe and explain principles of measurements of body functions and parameters, including their interpretation. Analyze and deduce the impacts of disruptions in physiological mechanisms as a basis for clinical considerations.
