Course objectives
LECTURE The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the structure and functioning of the human body in terms of single systems. Emphasis will be placed on linking the anatomical and physiological knowledge in such a way that they serve as the basis for many other subjects of study, especially for general and developmental psychology and related clinical sciences. The themes are presented in a range that corresponds to a bachelor's degree of non-medical specialization. SEMINAR The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the building and operation of the human body in terms of single systems during practical exercises. Emphasis will be placed on linking the anatomical and physiological knowledge in such a way that they serve as the basis for many other subjects of study, especially for general and developmental psychology and related clinical sciences. The themes are presented in range that corresponds to a bachelor's degree of non-medical specialization. The Simulation Center can be used for the seminars, which has 6 specialized laboratories and a computer classroom. The Simulation Center is equipped with the latest simulation models, anatomical models, computer models of physiological and psychological anatomical atlas in three-dimensional environment, CD-ROMs and other teaching aids, and will serve the practical training of the knowledge acquired.
