3 Physiology Degree Programs

Postgraduate study in Physiology and Pathophysiology is focused on the investigation of functions of organs and organ systems during responses and adaptations to changes in the external and internal environments in health and disease. The transition from studies of indirect manifestations of certain functions to their own functional and regulatory mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels predominates. The acquired knowledge is fundamental for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. Study program without specialization.

The program Human Physiology and Pathophysiology is focused on the study of functions of particular systems of the organism (blood, circulatory system, breathing, digestive, urinary, humoral, nervous systems) and their control, from the molecular level up to the study of mutual relations between particular systems under normal conditions and pathologic states. Equally important is the study of factors that can affect the mechanisms of development, plasticity, and adaptation to epigenetic and internal influences. The experimental and analytic approach of learning enables you to use the knowledge gained for the prevention, diagnostics, therapy, and rehabilitation of the human organism. The objective of the studies in the study program Human Physiology and Pathophysiology is training the students in such a way so that they will be capable of independent scientific work as necessary for an understanding of physiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms that can be the cause of major clinical conditions. The program is carried out without any specialization.

Functionally defined discipline that studies regulatory functions of organs in response and adaptation of specific systems of the organism to changes in external and internal environment in normal and pathological states. There is the dominance of transition from studies of indirect manifestations of certain functions to studies of their own functional and regulatory mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level in order to use the acquired knowledge for the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of human diseases. The study program is carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Physiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
