Department of Pathophysiology

For the practical exercises, the student must be theoretically prepared for the topic of the given class and is obliged to acquaint himself with the guideline for the given experiment or task (see study literature). Students, who did not attend the class in time, will be not admitted to the class.

Prerequisites are knowledge from the fields to which the subject pathological physiology follows, i.e. anatomy, histology, embryology, biology, genetics, chemistry and biochemistry, biophysics, physiology and microbiology.

Conditions for the credit – Pathological physiology I:

1. Active attending practical exercises – 2 absences per semester are allowed.
For the practical exercises, the student must be theoretically prepared for the topic of the given class and is obliged to acquaint himself with the guideline for the given experiment or task (see study literature). Students, who did not attend the class in time, will be not admitted to the class.

2. Submitting of correctly elaborated protocols of all experiments and practical exercises verified by the teacher.

Note:
Pathological physiology I is followed by pathological physiology II ending with a credit and exam.

Education materials – text documents, presentations and annotated presentations are available on the MOODLE portal in the course Pathological Physiology I, II. It is possible to register for the course via a CAS account.

Conditions for the credit – Pathological physiology II:

1. Active attending practical exercises – 2 absences per semester are allowed.

For the practical exercises, the student must be theoretically prepared for the topic of the given class and is obliged to acquaint himself with the guideline for the given experiment or task (se study literature). Prerequisites are knowledge from the fields to which the subject pathological physiology follows, i.e. anatomy, histology, embryology, biology, genetics, chemistry and biochemistry, biophysics, physiology and microbiology. Students, who did not attend the class in time, will be not admitted to the class.

2. Submitting of correctly elaborated protocols of all experiments and practical exercises verified by the teacher.

The conditions of the credits for students having an individual study plan, who enrolled pathological physiology II for the second time, will be appointed individually in dependence on study duties passed in the previous academic year. These conditions will not exceed the range of above specified general duties. These students are required to contact the teacher of the relevant study group (see timetable in Practical exercises section on this web) at the beginning of the semester.

Education materials – text documents, presentations and annotated presentations are available on the MOODLE portal in the course Pathological Physiology I, II. It is possible to register for the course via a CAS account.

Conditions for the exam:
Pathological physiology II follows pathological physiology I. The required knowledge contains curriculum of both subjects pathological physiology I and pathological physiology II.

The student is obliged to register for the exam before the deadline using SIS (other ways of registration will not be accepted). Registration is necessary for the regular term as well as for potential 1st re-examination or 2nd re-examination. The condition for registration for the exam is to obtain a credit in pathological physiology I and pathological physiology II.

The exam consists of a practical exam and oral exam. The required knowledge is based on the list of exam questions and the syllabus of the subjects Pathological Physiology I and Pathological Physiology II.

Practical exam consists of question related to practical exercises and ECG record analysis. Failure in the practical exam means classification of the exam “fail”.

Oral exam consists of 4 questions. To pass the oral exam, the student must show sufficient knowledge in each of these 4 questions.

Final classification takes into consideration not only the performance in the oral exam but also the classification of the practical exam.

Practical and oral exams constitute one complex and cannot be separated into two examination terms. In the case of classification of any part of the exam “failed”, the student is subjected to both the practical and oral exam again in the 1st or 2nd reexamination.

Standardly, the exam is on-site. In the case of the remote form of examination (if the circumstances do not allow for a standard examination and in accordance with the rules in force at the time of the exam), an interview will be conducted by Zoom, MS Teams or similar tool. It is therefore necessary for the student to be equipped with an internet connection, a computer with a camera and a microphone. In the case of remote examination, the questions will be selected by the teacher, the exam will start immediately after the questions have been asked and the student will not have time to prepare.
