Anotace - angličtina
The Physiology subject is read in winter and summer semesters. There are 38 lectures in winter semester and 45 lectures in summer semester. The lectures in the winter semester include physiology of the cell, general neurophysiology including physiology of muscles, blood, circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems. In the summer semester, regulation in which kidneys, the endocrine system and central nervous system take part are dealt with. Practical labs is aimed at verification of theoretical knowledge and at training certain skills through investigation of some functions of the human organism and their regulatory mechanisms as well as through experiments on animals. Computer models and patient simulators complement the labs. There are 8 lab sessions in one semester, each one lasting 2 teaching hours (16 teaching hours in each semester). The conditions for gaining the credits in either semester include active work in particular practical and a successful outcome of the revision tests.

Požadavky ke zkoušce

The physiology exam is oral and consists of three questions which students randomly draw as a triplet. Each student will be allowed adequate time to prepare their answer, summarizing their thoughts and knowledge, which they will then present to the examiner in a discussion. 

Examination Requirements:

  1. Valid SIS Registration: Ensure that you have registered for the exam via the Student Information System (SIS) for the applicable term. Detailed dates for examination periods in the summer semester will be announced on both the SIS and our official webpage.

  2. Physiology Credits: You must have your physiology credits signed for both the winter and summer semesters.

  3. Identification: Bring your Student ID card or another valid identification document to the examination.


 

Excuse from the Exam:

Students are required to submit their exam excuses prior to the designated exam term. Failure to do so will result in the loss of that exam term. If an excuse is submitted after the respective exam term, it must include valid and documented justification to avoid losing the term.
