Students/ candidates should have to be active on a practical exercise. To reach a positivite results from continuing monitoring during the whole term. Credit - 100% attendance on practical lessons, to obtain min.51% from written tests. Succesful graduation of the exam from pathological anatomy.

Completing the subject enables students to gain general knowledge of the subject, to find out the causes of death and the pathological mechanisms of individual pathological processes. Ability to regognize morphological and histological changes associated with dystrophy, necrosis, blood and lymph circulation disorders in connection with oncological and inflammatory processes in patients.

Pathological anatomy includes general pathology and pathological changes in animal diseases. The subject clarifies of the lesions associated with degeneration and cell death of cells; necrobiotic processes, circulatory disturbances; acute and chronic inflammations and their healing by regeneration and repair, characteristics of tumors, immune disorders and developmental anomalies

Course syllabus:

Lectures:

1. Characteristics and introduction to the discipline of pathological anatomy, demonstration of postmortem changes, differential diagnosis from intravital processes

2. Hypobiotic processes: degeneration of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates

3. Dystrophy of pigments, minerals, cysts

4. Cell death-apoptosis, necrosis and gangrene

5. Circulatory disturbances – local and general

6. Hyperbiotic processes: regeneration, reparation, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, metaplasia and dysplasia

7. Inflammation – characteristics, cellular infiltrate

8. Non-specific inflammation-alternative, exudative, proliferative

9. Specific inflammations-characteristics and demonstration of selected disease

10. Tumors-general characteristics, causes of oncogenesis

11. Tumors-epithelial and mesenchymal origin

12. Pathology of immunity-hypersensitivity reaction, immunodeficiency

13. Selected anomalies and malformation of animals

Practical:

Practical:
