CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETION OF COURSE
The condtion for succesfull graduation of this subject is to obtain a credit.
The credit will be obtained after 100% attendances at practice. The absences have to be compensated. Necropsy will be compensated by necropsy with other groups. The absence of histological training will be compensated by drawing of histological pictures and examination of texts from practical manuscript
Learning outcomes
The student will obtain knowledge about the causes and mechanisms of pathological lesions, which are included to general pathology. He will be familiar with necropsy procedures. Students will take necropsies of mammals and poultry as well. The will be able to to detect morphological and histological changes associated with dystrophy, necrosis, disorders of blood and lymph circulation, inflammatory and tumour processes
Brief outline of the course
Introduction in the study of pathology
Post mortem changes
Damage of cells - degenerations
Death of cells
Circulatory disturbances
Inflammation - non-specific and specific
Growth disturbances
Tumours - basic knowledge
Necropsy procedure
Course syllabus
LECTURES:
Week/2 hours
1. Introduction in the study of pathology, post mortem changes and differentiation from ante mortem processes
2. Hypobiotic processes – introduction, degeneration of proteins, glycids and lipids
3. Degeneration of pigments, minerals, cysts
4. Death of cells - necrosis and apoptosis
5. Circulatory disturbances - haemostasis, hyperemia, haemorrhage, oedema, trombosis, ischaemia, infarction, embolism
6. Disturbances of growth - agenesis, aplasia, atresia, hypoplasia, atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, displasia, metaplasia, anomalies or malformations, repair, regeneration of tissue
7. Inflammation – function of inflammatory response, components of the inflammatory response, mechanisms of tissue injury
8. Non specific inflammations - classification of exudates, mechanisms of tissue injury, fever, non-specific granulation tissue and wound healing, healing of various types of lesions
9. Specific inflammations
10.Tumours – general characteristics, aetiology
11.Neoplasia – epithelial and mesenchymal
12.Pathology of immunity
13.Host-parasite relationship - factors influential in infectious disease, pathogenesis of disease caused by various agents
LESSONS:
Week/3 hours
1. Guidance on health and safety work and fire protection in practices at Institue of Pathological Anatomy. A basic approach to animal necropsy, special equipment of the necropsy room, tissue collection and preservation, necropsy of mammals.
2. Necropsy of poultry. Demonstration of the postmortal changes and their differentiation from the intravital processes.
