Graduate Knowledge and Skills
The graduate knows and understands:
C.W27. The basic mechanisms of cell and tissue damage.
C.W28. The clinical course of specific and non-specific inflammations, as well as tissue and organ regeneration processes.
C.W29. The definition and pathophysiology of shock, with particular emphasis on differentiating the causes of shock and multiple organ failure.
C.W30. The etiology of hemodynamic disorders, as well as retrogressive and progressive changes.
C.W33. External and internal pathogenic factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable.
C.W34. The clinical manifestations of the most common diseases of various systems and organs, metabolic diseases, and disorders of water-electrolyte balance, hormonal regulation, and acid-base balance.
C.W47. The impact of oxidative stress on cells and its significance in the pathogenesis of diseases and aging processes.
C.W48. The consequences of vitamin or mineral deficiencies and their excesses in the body.
C.W49. The enzymes involved in digestion, the mechanism of hydrochloric acid production in the stomach, the role of bile, and the absorption processes of digestion products.
C.W50. The consequences of improper nutrition, including prolonged starvation, excessive meal consumption, and the use of unbalanced diets, as well as disturbances in digestion and absorption of digestion products.
C.W51. The mechanism of hormone action.
The graduate is able to:
C.U12. Analyze reactive, defensive, and adaptive phenomena as well as regulatory disorders induced by etiological factors.
C.U20. Describe changes in the functioning of the body in situations of homeostasis disturbance, particularly determining the integrated response to physical exertion, exposure to high and low temperatures, blood or water loss, sudden postural changes, and transition from sleep to wakefulness.
