Learning outcomes
The subject is a complex topical unit providing basic facts for a midwife. It shows the students the issues of the human embryo development and it provides the basic knowledge of all organ systems in their development.The subject covers physiological aspects of the development, inner and outer effects, which can cause irregularities. One part of the subject also deals with the issues of genetic disorders, the basic classification of disorders, evaluation of genetic risks including genetical consulting.
Subject Knowledge: Student understands basic terminology. Student describes tussocky and sperm morphology. Student understands the rules of fertilization, blastogenesis and embryogenesis. Student can descibe placenta, umbilical cord and fetal covers. Professional Skills: In a clinical training student uses specialized terminology. Student explains a woman the importance of prenatal examinations, in particular, screening examination focused on searching for congenital defects. Student informs pregnant and breastfeeding women about the dangers of using medication and other substances, which can affect the foetus.
