Annotation -
Last update: prof. MUDr. Richard Rokyta, DrSc. (30.05.2008)
Annotation: The physiology is an intellectual and experimental subject which uses basic knowledge of molecular biology, physics and biochemistry and transforming them to practical use in medicine. The interpretation of physiological proceses asks a perfect knowledge of morphological discipliens, i.e. anatomy, histology and embryology.

The objective of the subject

The objective of the physiology is to teach the students physiological thinking, i.e. to know basic mechanisms of physiological proces in man and basic physiological norms.

It has also to learn to recognize these mechanisms in borader relations in complete point of view to functional status of individual like the basic presupposition for searching of limit between physiology and pathophysiology. The other objective is to teach the students basic manual skills on animal models.

The physiology is a coordinative subject of the structure and function of human body, in which are studied together the subjects of anatomy, histology and embryology, biochemistry and physiology. The student has, after graduation of this common module, called Structure and function of human body, to be prepared to apply their knowledge in preclinical and clinical subjects. The first use during their study is pathological physiology.

The methods of education:

As results from syllabus, the physiology uses for education: lectures, seminars, practical excercises, conferences and visits of some clinical workplaces.

Requirements to the exam -
Last update: prof. MUDr. Richard Rokyta, DrSc. (27.11.2008)

A student has to fulfill the following conditions to be able to obtain credit: attendance, partial written tests and oral credit tests.

1. Attendance

The attendance at practical trainings and seminars is supposed to be at least 80 % for each form of study extra. Based on the amount of scheduled classes it means one allowed absence.

One absence above this rule will be tolerated if student documents his/her absence by the letter of apology (e.g. doctor certification). Each case will be handled individually if student has more absences (e.g. preparing of extensive presentation, examination by the head of the department or by committee). In some cases it is possible to prevent the absence by visiting practical training or seminar with another study group, but only with agreement of both involved teachers that consider the spatial and technical possibilities.

The participation on the conferences is obligatory (100%). In the absence from important reasons the student will be examined from appropriate themes. The presence on the conferences represents full part of the credit.

2. Partial written tests

Student has to accomplish successfully two partial written tests during each semester (see table below). At least 75 % of successfulness is necessary to succeed in each test. Tests may be repeated.

3. Oral credit exam

The most important condition of obtaining credit is the oral credit exam. In the 4th semester, in addition to the oral credit exam the practical exam is necessary to pass to get a credit.

3.1. Dates of obtaining credit

Appointed dates of exams are exclusively in weeks 14 and 15 during the regular time of practical trainings of physiology. Content of these practical trainings is only oral credit examination.

Next dates of obtaining credits will be set by each teacher based on the needs and possibilities. Credit examination is possible in the time of examinational period. It is not possible to take credit exams during summer holidays.

3.2. Course of credit exam

Student will draw two questions of specific subject area. (There are 3 subject areas in summer semester of the 1st year. When taken the credit in this semester, students will draw 2 of the 3 subject areas they will be examined from and after than they will draw the specific questions.) Student has 10 minutes to prepare answers and 5 minutes to present their answers to teacher. Time restriction is necessary because of the number of students, but it also shows the abilities of the student. In Practical training oral test in the 4th semester student will draw one question that he/she will do practically.

3.3. Evaluation

Each question is evaluated by grade 1 to 4, where 1 is the best and 4 the worst. The final grade that student receives is PASSED (if grades are 1-3) or FAILED (if at least one question is evaluated by grade 4). Results are recorded in the Card of the student (as question and grade).

3.4. Repeating of the credit examination

In case that student fails in the credit exam, he/she may take it again not earlier than 7 days after the previous date of examination. The third term of oral exam cannot be taken earlier than 14 days after the second exam. The course and evaluation is the same in all terms of examinations. At the third term of credit exam second assistant has to be present as observer.

All students have to take all the credit trials with teacher of their group. It is possible to take the credit exam with other teacher only with agreement of both involved teachers.

In the case of failure during the third credit exam, the Chair of the Department determines the next exam schedule and committee arrangement.
