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 ? internal structure, growth and development. 8. Muscular system - structure, composition and properties of muscles. 9. Blood - quantity, composition and functions of blood. The heart - shape, structure and activity. Blood vessels - structure (arteries, capillaries, veins). The heart ? the greater 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 the 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, zaškrcovadlo). First aid for bleeding from natural body openings. First aid for internal bleeding. 23. Shock - the cause of shock, the main types of shocks, the shock stage of development, first aid for shock. Disorders of consciousness and unconsciousness, recovery position. 24. First aid for sprains and dislocation. First aid for fractures - a general principle, the use of improvised devices. First aid for fractures of the upper and lower extremities, the mozkolebečních injuries, spinal injuries and spinal cord. First aid in chest trauma (pneumothorax) and pelvis. 25. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - airway obstruction, respiratory arrest, methods of removing foreign bodies from the airway, artificial respiration from the lungs into the lungs, breathing methods. 26. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - the blood circulation causes, signs of sudden cardiac arrest, indirect heart massage. To circulation resuscitation of adults, children and infants.

Learning outcomes
The course introduces students to ontogenetic development of a human, the structure and function of individual body systems of a human organism. Students will learn the theoretical knowledge and practical skills in first aid.
Students will be able to describe the different stages of ontogenetic development of man and be able to explain which factors influence somatic human development and also to describe the effects of negative factors and their repercussions on the healthy development of the individual.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of human anatomy.
