Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Biomedicínská technika a bioinformatika (programme LF, C-CV)

Course objectives

At the end of the course students will have basic knowledge of chemistry and biochemistry including clinical biochemistry.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- understand the basic chemical principles important for processes in the human body;
- understand the meaning of terms such as electrolyte, osmolarity, osmolality, pH, buffer, oxidation, reduction, this knowledge can be used to describe the properties of human body fluids and important reactions in the body;
- understand the principle of selected methods used in clinical biochemistry (optical, chromatographic, electrophoretic, immunochemical methods);
- understand how energy is produced, used and stored in the human body;
- describe the basic pathways of metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, explain the basic principles of metabolism and its regulation.

Syllabus

• Basic chemical terms, concentration, electrolytes. Osmotic pressure. pH, acids, bases, buffers. Buffer systems in irganism. Redox reactions. Ion selective electrodes. Methods used in clinical biochemistry. Chromatography, optical methods, electrophoresis, immunochemical methods. The overview of metabolism. Digestion of nutrients, main metabolic pathways in sugars, lipids, and proteins. Check tests. Credit test.
