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 final exam consist of three parts:

1. Written test (entrance test), questions are multiple choice, single correct ones.

2. Lab examination. One question from the lab practicals.

3. Theory examination. Three questions (triplet), one of them is neurophysiology.

 

Evaluation of exam:

The final exam takes part during the summer semester exam period. Exam is successfully passed upon successful passing of all three parts of exam. Third attempt is always oral indenpendently on the results of previous parts of the exam.

Each exam term consists of all three parts.

 

Examination requires:

1. Valid SIS exam registration for particular term, detailed dates for examination terms in summer semester will be announced on SIS and on our webpage

2. Physiology credits signed for winter and summer semesters

3. Student ID card

 

Excuse from the exam:

Students are obliged to claim the exam excuse ahead of the particular exam term, otherwise you exam term is spent (lost). Receiving your apology after the respective exam term requires reasonable and documented justification in order to not lose the term.
