Learning outcomes
The subject is designed as a thematic unit providing the basic structure of knowledge for midwives. It introduces students to the issue of human embryo formation and gradual development of all organ structures of the future individual. It refers to the physiological aspects of development, to internal and external influences that may cause its deviations. Genetic disorders, basic classification of defects, assessment of genetic risk including genetic counseling.
Expertise: Students understand the basic concepts of the field. Student describes morphology of oocyte and sperm. The student understands patterns of fertilization, blastogenesis and embryogenesis. The student characterizes the placenta, umbilical cord and amniotic casings. The student knows the terminology of more frequent VVV. Professional skills: The student uses professional terminology in clinical practice. The student will explain to women the importance of prenatal controls, especially screening examinations focused on VVV detection.
