The aim of Physiology I is to gain good knowledge about the functions of the human body in health. The subject Physiology I is taught in the form of lectures, practical classes and seminars. Emphasis is mainly focesed on functional organization, on the mechanisms controlling the internal environment of the organism, interrelationships among the control of individual functions and on the coordination and integration of functions. Lectures: concept of homeostasis, body fluid compartments, blood and its functions (hemostasis, blood groups), introduction to immunology (innate and adaptive immunity), general neurophysiology (ion transport across the membrane, resting and action membrane potential, synapses), myology (skeletal and smooth muscle), central nervous system (spinal reflexes, regulation of posture and movement, reticular formation, autonomic nervous system, function of different parts of the CNS, CNS metabolism, wakefulness and sleep, lower and higher nervous activity, speech), cardiovascular system (cardiac muscle, conductive system of the heart, cardiac cycle, ECG, cardiac output and its regulation, blood flow, functional classification of the circulatory system, microcirculation, regulation of CVS activity) and respiratory system (ventilation, diffusion, transport of respiratory gases by blood, pulmonary circulation, regulation of breathing). Practical classes: selected methods and examinations used in clinical practice (basic hematological examinations with an emphasis on hemocoagulation tests, blood group tests, WBC count, basic principles of neurological examination, ECG recording and evaluation, blood pressure measurement, cardiac stress tests). Entry requirements: prerequisites: completed Anatomy II Outcomes:

1. the student acquires basic theoretical knowledge about the function of the blood, the immune system, general neurophysiology and myology, the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system

2. the student acquires practical skills related to important clinical and laboratory examinations and learns to interpret the obtained results
