Annotation

Last update: Jan Kovář (30.06.2022)

Anatomy, Histology and Embryology is a principal component of compulsory subjects. It informs students in detail on the structure of the human body and its Latin and English terminology and nomenclature. It consists of systemic anatomy (description and function of organ system and individual organs and its parts, their blood, lymph and nerve supply, microscopic structure, and development), topographic anatomy (description of regions, their contents and mutual relationships), imaging anatomy (imaging of individual parts of the human body by means of various imaging methods in vivo), clinical anatomy (application of anatomical knowledge in clinical medicine), general histology (composition of human tissues), and general embryology (intrauterine development of human being).

Aim of the course

Last update: Jan Kovář (30.06.2022)

The aim of the subject is:

a)To gain knowledge on macroscopic and microscopic anatomy, histology, embryology, and anatomy of organ systems of the human body.

b)To gain knowledge on the arrangement of region and spaces of the human body and on the mutual relationships of individual organs and other structures, mainly those clinically relevant.

c)To gain knowledge on the imaging anatomy of organs and vessels using X-ray, computer tomography, magnetic resonance, angiography and ultrasound techniques.

d)To learn the anatomical nomenclature in its latest Latin and English versions.

e)To gain knowledge about anatomy and its relation to following medical subjects.

Course completion requirements

Last update: Jan Kovář (30.06.2022)

To conclude the subject, it is necessary to obtain credit in both semesters to be allowed to pass the final exam.

Winter semester credits are obtained at the end of the winter semester.

Summer semester credits are obtained at the end of the summer semester.

Only after gaining credits from both semesters can the student go to the exam.

Conditions for acquiring credits

• Attendance at the practical classes. Two absences are allowed per semester. If a student misses 3–4 classes in one semester he/she has to contact the head of the department, who will decide what they can do to make up the missed classed. If a student misses 5 or more classes in one semester, the student will not be able to get the credit and will have to repeat the entire subject.

• Pass all tests occurring during the semesters. Each student has the right to attempt each test three times: one attempt during the practical classes and up to two retakes. Re-takes of winter semester tests occur during the winter examination period. Dates for retaking winter semester tests are posted at the end of the winter semester. Re-takes of summer semester tests occur during the summer examination period. Dates for retaking summer semester tests are posted at the end of the summer semester. If a student, for whatever reason, does not attempt a test during the semester or its retakes in the examination period, he/she is not entitled to arrange a new term. If the student does not pass a test on the third attempt or does attempt the retakes, he/she cannot receive the credit.

• Attendance at the dissection courses. No absences are allowed during the dissection courses. If a student cannot attend the entire dissection course for a serious unavoidable reason, he/she should contact the main teacher of his/her group.

• Passing the examinations of topographic anatomy. These exams are held at the end of each dissection course. Each student has three attempts to pass this exam (one attempt at the end of the course and up to two attempts to retake it). The retakes occur in the winter/summer semester or in the examination period. If a student does not pass the examination on the third attempt or does attempt to retake the exam, he/she cannot receive the credit.
