Normal anatomy with Elements of Topographic Anatomy
The term anatomy is derived from Greek roots temnein, that mean “to dissect”
The study of anatomy is linked to dissection of cadavers, and it is complemented by viewing previously
dissected material and plastic models. Gross anatomy deals only with structures that can be displayed
by dissection and that are visible to the naked eye, without the aid of magnification.
Gross anatomy itself is divided into systemic anatomy (e.g. skeletal, vascular, nervous), regional
anatomy (e.g. limbs, head and neck) and clinical anatomy. Anatomy constitutes the basis of the gross
anatomy are:
1. familiarize students with human, topographical and clinical anatomy, which will serve as basis for
developing knowledge of further clinical disciplines,
2. to be able to identify anatomical details in specimens,
3. to introduce up-to-date teaching methods of anatomy based on the recent computer software,
4. to familiarize students with dissecting techniques of all structures,
5. to be able to use correct medical terminology,
6. to identify relationships between structures and function of different organs,
7. to apply anatomical knowledge,
8. to familiarize with control, integration and regulation mechanisms responsible for maintaining
homeostasis

Biophysics
Coursework of „Biophysics” includes biophysics of human and elements of medical physics. In general
biophysics is an interdisciplinary branch of science which develops at the border of physics, chemistry,
biology and medical sciences. It employs physical methods and techniques to study phenomena taking
place in living organisms at all levels of their organization, from the micro to the macro scale, from
molecules to cells and whole organisms. Medical physics means application of physical phenomena
and physical methods and techniques (e.g. ultrasounds, light, laser, ionizing radiation, nuclear
resonance) in medical diagnosis and therapy.

REGULATIONS OF STUDENTS LABORATORY IN THE BIOPHYSICS DEPARTMENT
I.
The aims of the laboratory.
The aim of the biophysics laboratory is to introduce students to the commonly encountered
measuring apparatus, development of a scientific understanding of biological phenomena, logical
observations and facts recollection as well as the development of a critical view on the outcomes
of measurements.
Students realize above aims by individually conducting experiments.
II. The course of classes in the laboratory.
1. The experiments in the laboratory are performed according to the course of study.
2. Classes are forerun with an introduction, during which regulations, experiment assignment,
methods of data collection and processing are discussed. Safety training is carried out.
3. Experiments curriculum, theoretical knowledge requirements and literature suggestions are on
the board of announcements in the department of biophysics.
4. A student is expected to realize 9 experiments, take a test and come up with measurement results
and write lab report.
5. Every experiment is realized by two students simultaneously.
6. To every experiment a student has to prepare theoretical knowledge. Preparation will be tested
by the tutor during the experiment.
Attention! In case of unfamiliarity with the material needed for safe and secure performance of the
given experiment, the tutor has the right to abort the undertaken experiment.
7. The student must complete and pass each exercise performed. The complete passing of an
experiment is determined by the tutor on the bases of tests, work during class and compiled
results.
In the case of wrong experiment or errors in report, tutor inform about the need of repeat of
experiment or its part or correction of lab report. Every correction has to be realized in the
laboratory. It is not allowed to take experimental cards to home!
8. A complete experiment in the lab covers:
Entrance to the lab: a student is obliged to show his tutor a written compilation of the theoretical
part and to pick up his experimental card;
Carrying out the experiment i.e.
- a thorough familiarization with the instructions to the exercise undertaken.
- turning on the measuring devices, taking measurements and filling out a experimental card.
Results should be written in either pen or fountain pen (not in pencil!)
Preparing the elaboration of the results on an experimental card.
Finishing of work in the laboratory includes:
- Tidying up of workplace.
- Returning filled experimental card together with written compillation of the theory of
performed exercice.
If student doesn’t manage to prepare the lab report during classes, he should report it and return
it unfinished. It can be finished in the appointed week. Student can also finish them during next
classes in the laboratory.
9. Student can only pass and conduct experiments according to his group’s schedule.
10. The longest acceptable late-coming is 15 minutes. After this time, student cannot participate in
classes.
11. Experiment conducted not individually is not treated as completed.
12. All the absences must be excused at the group’s tutor. Tutor sets a new date for conducting
particular experiment.
13. Conditions of getting pass the laboratory work are the following: passing all the tests, carrying out
indicated experiments and elaborating their results.
III. Order regulations.
1. All operations during setting the devices should be conducted individually. Turning on electricity
sources without having it controlled by the tutor is not allowed.
2. While carrying out experiments all safety rules must be obeyed permanently.
3. Students takes material responsibility for all the damages caused in the laboratory from his own
fault.
4. The workplace, after carrying out the experiments, should be left in its initial state.
5. Eating in the laboratory is forbidden.
6. Using mobile phones in the laboratory is forbidden.
“Biophysics” ends with a written exam. Be admitted to the exam is necessary to pass the
Laboratory. Those who do not pass Laboratory Excercises before Exam, are not admitted to
exam and will receive an unsatisfactory grade
Final Exam
1.
The Final Exam is performed in written form - 30 open questions. Questions cover topics of
lectures and exercises.
2.
Students who failed the Final Exam are obliged to retake the test.
3.
An excuse for absence should be submitted to the examiner the next day, or in justified
circumstances, within three days after the Final Exam.
4.
The Final Exam will be assessed according to given marks:
(Fail) – less than 55%
(3) – 55%
(3,5) – 63 %
(4 ) – 70%
(4,5) – 80 %
