Pathophysiology 2600-S1-CM-PATF

The subject of Pathophysiology covers topics related to the etiopathogenesis of disorders of the adaptive and regulatory functions of the human body. The student acquires knowledge of the mechanisms leading to the formation of disorders in individual systems and organs of the body, functional changes in the system in the disease and their systemic consequences.

Lecture topics include: disease process; functional links between the endocrine, nervous and immune systems and their importance in maintaining health; allostasis - the dynamic balance of the organism and the disease process; skeletal and smooth muscles physiology and pathophysiology; reflex reactions; diseases resulting from damage to the sensory organs; disorders of endocrine systems (hormone-secreting cells, tissues and glands; stages and systems of hormone control; cells and target tissues for hormones; mechanism of action of hormones on target cells; autocrine, paracrine and endocrine effects of hormones, hormone levels and disease development); metabolic disorders as the cause of civilization diseases: diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases.

Exercise topics include: - pathophysiology of striated muscles - damage to the peripheral nervous system - sensation (disorders of the sensory systems) - disorders of the sensory organs: vision, hearing and balance - the mechanism of action of hormones and the consequences of disturbances in hormonal regulation (on the example of the regulation of blood glucose levels)
