Learning outcomes
The subject is part of the complex of basic study prerequisites and its content builds on the knowledge gained in anatomy. The aim of the subject is to understand the basic physiological functions of the human organism (physiology of the cell and individual body organs, basic physiological manifestations of the organism.
Professional knowledge: The student demonstrates knowledge of the basic principles of the functioning of the human body (tissues, organs, organ systems) within the scope of the curriculum covered. He/she is familiar with the composition of organ systems and the importance of their function for humans. Professional skills: The student can describe the functioning of individual body systems, can orient himself/herself on the human body, can recognize basic types of tissues and determine the location of human organs. The student can use the acquired knowledge in the field of physiology of individual body systems in a basic physical examination of a patient and in the implementation of nursing care. General competencies: The student is able to use the acquired knowledge and skills in the study of other preclinical and clinical subjects and in all phases of the implementation of the diagnostic/therapeutic process and nursing care in practice.
