Physiology explains the normal operation of the human body at all levels of integration, from the subcellular to the whole
organism. The first semestr discusses the origin of the sciences of physiology and introduces the concept of homeostasis in physiological systems. It also presents transport across cell membranes, the establishment of an electrical resting potential, principles of neurotransmission, physiology of muscles, special senses, and the functional interconnection of the blood and cardiovascular system. Practical exercises allow students to verify important physiological phenomena Second semestr covers the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and renal physiology, metabolism and regulation of body temperature, physiology of endocrine glands including reproductive physiology. Neural nad hormonal mechanisms are integral to this coverage. It also presents principles of neural sciences - perception, control of movement, the autonomic nervous system, the homeostatic role of the central nervous system, and the higher functions of the brain including principles of behavior, emotion, motivation, thought, language, learning, and memory. Integrative approach relies on thinking skills. Last update: Křikavová Lenka, Ing. (14.02.2019)

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. Last update: Švíglerová Jitka, doc. MUDr., Ph.D. (26.06.2024)

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. Last update: Švíglerová Jitka, doc. MUDr., Ph.D. (26.06.2024)
