Annotation

The subject is being taught in bachelors study program of Nursing - General nurse in the first year of the study program. It belongs into the group of the Biology module and it deals with structure and function of the human body.

It provides students with informations from anatomy, fyziology, histology, embryology and biochemistry. It is the first subject, creating background for teaching others theoretical and clinical sujects.

Notion is imposed on establishment of specific imagery of the strucutre, development and function of the human body and ability to apply this knowledge in other clinical subjects. Moreover, subject is oriented on the explanation of dependent relationship between separate systems and the possiblity of their regulations.

The subject has theoretical-clinical character.
