To gain theoretical and practical knowledge of the anatomic structure of the urogenital organs, the peripheral and central nervous systems and the special senses. Lectures in neuroanatomy involve the macroscopic and also microscopic structure of the nervous tissues, the connections among various individual areas in the CNS and their clinical correlation. Particular attention is given to the facial and oral regions, cranial nerves, including applied anatomy for local anesthesia.

Získání teoretických i praktických znalostí anatomické stavby urogenitálního, periferního a centrálního nervového
systému, smyslových orgánů. Neuroanatomie zahrnuje makroskopickou i mikroskopickou stavbu, spoje
jednotlivých struktur CNS a klinický korelát. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována inervaci obličeje a dutiny ústní, hlavovým
nervům a anatomickému podkladu lokální anestezie.

Requirements to the exam - Czech
Conditions and notes
Credit: Credit will be given to the student who fulfilled his/her attendance and has passed required examinations in individual systems. 1) Standards of study results: Summarizing review in form of written credit test is mandatory. To pass, it is necessary to get at least mark “good”. Students are eligible for two attempts in case of failure. Unexcused absence results in “no pass” grade, correctly excused leave has no effect, student resits for test at next announced term. 2) Attendance: the students are required to attend all practical classes, absence due to illness has to be documented by a doctor's certificate as soon as possible. The number of legitimate absences may not exceed 15% of all practical classes, i.e. 4 practical classes per term. The acceptability of more than 15% practical class absences per term will be decided by the Head of the anatomy department. Unexcused absence may result in no credit being awarded.
Examination: Final examination can be taken after obtaining both required credits of ANATOMY I. and ANATOMY II. and is oral (2 theoretical questions). Students enroll via SIS.
