Course content
Lecture themes: 1-2. Basics of cytology - cell definition, cell structure (size and shape, individual organelles and their function), division cells, and basic cellular processes (cell cycle, cell metabolism...). 3-4. Basics of histology - epithelials, binders, muscle tissue, nerve tissue. 5-6. Construction and basic functions of the central nervous system (the basic structures of the brain and spinal cord). 7-8. Construction and basic functions of the peripheral nervous system (cerebral, spinal and vegetative nerves, reflexes, memory, sleep). 9-10. System of glands with internal secretion (overview and function of individual glands). 11-12. Circulatory system - circulation (heart construction, heart muscles, activity and control, heart rate, cardiac and minute volume), vascular types and their basic characteristics, small and large circulation. 13-14. Circulatory system - body fluids (essential characteristics, function, composition, processes), immunity, blood types, blood transfer, blood supply, lymph system. Seminar themes: 1. Animal cells and tissues - a practical exercise with microscopes. 2. Fundamentals of connective tissue with a focus on bone (internal bone structure), a practical demonstration of bone tissue in a microscope. 3. Bone shape and surface, bone growth and development. 4. Bone fusion. 5. Skeletal description (axial skeleton - skull). 6. Description of the skeleton (axial skeleton - spine, rib cage). 7. Upper limb braid and loose upper limb. 8. A hand skeleton. 9. Lower leg braid and loose lower leg braid. 10. Leg skeleton. 11. Practical exercises to discuss topics from lectures (CNS, PNS). 12. Practical exercises to discuss topics from lectures (circulatory system). 13. Possibilities to use digital technologies in skeletal anatomy (3D glasses, foot vault function ...). 14. A written test and its evaluation, discussions on selected topics. Combined study: The study is divided into blocks. A number of study materials in written or electronic form are used to study. Learning texts and CDs are available on the KTVS PF UJEP website (contacts) and in the study. The student undergoes the same enrollment requirements, with differences in attendance. The content of lectures and seminars is to convey information on a given issue of functional anatomy. Students are provided with worksheets to deepen knowledge from the area covered. The focus of the joint consultations and seminars is on: - the fundamentals of cytology, morphology and basic tissue function and the basic characteristics of CNS and PNS, - Essential characteristics of the endocrine and circulatory systems - basic description and characteristics of the human skeleton (bones, joints, ligaments). By individual self-study, students adopt part of the content of the subject, which is indicated in the syllabus study plan. Method of control and teaching: Self-study is directed by a teacher, the basis is recommended literature and, in particular, a study support in university system https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NS9uz-8DFYsO8M9h4qydvEdeXuUsyxiU Feedback takes place by checking knowledge during consultations, through completed worksheets and personal consultation with the teacher. Direct contact with the teacher is ensured in addition to contact instruction by obligatory consultation hours. Contact is also provided by phone, e-mail and the possibility to inform students via STAG or the workplace website.

Learning outcomes
The object of the course is to provide students with insights from the field of human functional anatomy. The lectures focus on the morphology of basic organ system structures and systems. In the workshops, students will get to know theoretically and practically the individual parts of the locomotion apparatus, where the focus will be on the skeletal system. In addition to theoretical knowledge of the morphology of individual parts of the human body, emphasis will be placed on the basics of the function of the locomotion apparatus.
After graduating from the subject, the student is able to clarify basic knowledge from the functional anatomy of the human from the topics discussed: - is able to depict and describe the basic structure of an animal cell along with the basic functions of individual organel, - orientated in the basic breakdown and characteristics of individual human tissues; - is able to navigate basic knowledge from probed organ systems (CNS, PNS, glands with internal secretion, circulatory system); - Can describe the basic structures of bone tissue including the basic characteristics of bone remodelling, - is able to characterize individual parts of the human skeleton including significant structures of individual bones.
Prerequisites
- general knowledge of the anatomy of the human body (organ system, cell)

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Active participation in teaching. Preparation and execution of assigned tasks in the form of worksheets. The preparation and presentation of a paper on a selected topic in the field of human anatomy. Successful passing of a written test from a probed apprenticeship.
