Course content
1. Ontogenetic development division, gametogenesis, fertilization. Embryonic and foetal period. Pregnancy, parturition, signs of full-term foetus. 2. Impact of external factors on development of an individual in the prenatal period. 3. Division of human age. Period of newborn, infant, toddler, preschool age. School age (younger school age, older school age). Adolescent age and other developmental periods of human age. 4. Methods of diagnosing biological age in children and youth. 5. Secular trend, acceleration. Factors impacting growth, physical growth patterns. 6. Cell - structure, function of organelles, cell division. Tissues - epithelial, connective, muscle and nerve. 7. Skeletal system - the shape, surface, internal structure, growth and development, bone connections, skeleton of the torso (spine, chest), skull bone, upper and lower extremities skeleton. 8. Muscular system - structure, composition and properties of skeletal muscles. Description of major muscle groups. 9. Blood - quantity, composition and functions of blood. The heart - shape, structure and activity. Blood vessels: structure (arteries, capillaries, veins). The heart - great and lesser blood circulation. 10. Lymphatic system. 11. Respiratory system - external and internal respiration, nose, nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, lungs. 12. Digestive system - oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, liver. 13. Excretory system - kidneys, urinary tract. 14. Cutaneous system - skin structure, additional skin formations, body temperature and its control. 15. Visual system - eye structure, additional eye organs. Organs of hearing and equilibrium. Cutaneous system (cold, warmth, pressure, pain), gustatory and olfactory organs. 16. Nervous system - division, a nerve cell structure and a reflex arch 17. Nervous system - the dorsal spinal cord, medulla oblongata, pons Varolii, cerebellum, midbrain. Nervous system - Diencephalon, Cerebrum. 18. Peripheral nerves - cranial nerves. Peripheral nerves - spinal nerves and vegetative nerves. 19. Glands with internal secretion. 20. Male genital tract. Female genital tract. 21. General principles of first aid. 22. First aid for external bleeding (pressure points, pressure bandage, tourniquet). First aid for bleeding from natural body orifices. First aid for internal bleeding. 23. States of shock ? causes of shock occurrence, the main types of shocks, stages of shock development, first aid for shock. Impairment of consciousness and unconsciousness, recovery position. 24. First aid for sprains and dislocations. First aid for fractures ? general principles, using improvised means. First aid for fractures of upper and lower extremities, for cerebro-cranial injuries, for injuries of spine and spinal cord. First aid for thoracal (pneumotorax) and pelvic injuries. 25. Emergency resuscitation ? obstruction of airways, apnea, ways of removing foreign bodies from airways, artificial ventilation mouth to patient, ventilation methods. 26. Emergency resuscitation ? blood circulation arrest. Causes, signs of sudden circular arrest, indirect heart massage. Procedure for circulatory resuscitation in adults, children and infants.

Learning activities and teaching methods

  • Attendace - 100 hours per semester
  • Homework for Teaching - 200 hours per semester
  • Semestral Work - 75 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The course introduces students to ontogenetic development of a human, the structure and function of individual body systems with respect for anatomical and physiological changes during ontogenesis. Students learns theoretical knowledge and practical skills, required for first aid provision.
1. Students will be able to describe the structure and function of the human body. 2. Students will be able to characterize the different phases of human development. 3. The student will learn the theoretical knowledge and practical skills in first aid.
Prerequisites
Work with PC.
