There are two credit tests ( at least 51% of correct answers are required of each one) and seminary work preparation. The student mus attend all classes, one cleasses can miss without compensation, other must compensate.

Students obtain knowledge about etiology, pathogenesis and outcomes of pathological processes in species. He understands an importance and role of regulatory mechanisms activating in disease. The knowledge is basis for dg procedures, prevention and therapy either by removal of etiological factors or affecting pathogenesis.He understands principles of processes that are common for many pathological processes (e.g., fever, inflammation, oedema, ...) and etiopathogenesis of system disorders (e.g., pathophysiology of haematopoiesis, circulatory system, endocrine gland system, digestive system, etc.). Can evaluate and interprete biochemical blood test results and explain them in relation to the etiopathogenesis, history of patient and other test results.
