Medical Biophysics

Lecturer:

Jozef Rosina (gar.)

Tutor:

Jozef Rosina (gar.), Lucie Bártová

Supervisor:

Department of medical branches and humanities

Synopsis:

The goal is to obtain basic information about the nature of the effects of physical factors on the organism. Further clarify the basic biophysical principles of physiological and pathophysiological processes and processes in the human body and explain the basic mechanisms of the effects of selected physical factors on living systems, focusing on ionizing radiation.

Requirements:

Granting of credit is required 80% attendance at seminars. Another condition is the coherent processing of paper on a given topic, including presentations during the exercise.

Examination: The first term exam is in written form (23 test questions + 7 questions to supplement). Scoring the test: 30 to 29 correct answers = 1 (A) 28 to 27 correct answers = 1.5 (B) 26 to 24 correct answers = 2 (C) 23 to 22 correct answers = 2.5 (D ) 21 to 19 correct answers = 3 (E) ? 18 correct answers = 4 (F).

Correction terms are a form of oral examination with at least one week apart. The test may apply only to students who have been granted credit.

Syllabus of lectures:

1.Influence to physical factors on the human body (use of centrifugal forces in health care, overload and weightlessness, Biophysical aspects of space flight; Effects of external pressure on the organism, the vacuum effect on the organism; Effect of pressure on the organism)

2.BIOFYZIKA CELL (resting membrane potential and action; Physical principles of breathing, blood circulation and blood pressure - physical basics)

5.OPTICKÉ RADIATION, EYE (optical radiation, visible light, theory of color perception, physiological and psychological effects of color, visual illusions, healthy eye, eye defects and correction of defects; Hygiene workplace lighting, equipment and devices using optical methods, ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation)

6.IONIZUJICI RADIATION (Characteristics of ionizing radiation, units of radioactivity, types of radioactive decay, X-rays, neutrons, cosmic radiation, biological effects of ionizing radiation; Direct and indirect effects of ionizing radiation, radiosensitivity)
