Course objectives
Biochemistry for bacherols follows secondary school chemistry and biochemistry broadens the subject considerably to the level required for the study of successive subjects. The aim of the subject is to provide a comprehensive view of the basic metabolic processes in the human body related to the functioning of the human organism. It gets information on the production and use of energy in the human body, the structure and synthesis of the main molecules, the main regulatory mechanisms that maintain homeostasis. Students will obtain knowledge about the biochemical nature of the most important disorders of metabolism and bases of their clinico-biochemical examination, taking into account their specialization.
Learning outcomes
After the completion of the subject students will understand physicochemical processes important for biological systems, He can explain the basic principles of nutrient metabolism and the principles of regulation. Understands how energy is generated, used, and stored by the various organs of the body. Describes the biochemical processes typical for main organs and tissues in the body (heart, liver, kidney muscle, nerve tissue). He can explain the basic principles of homeostasis. He is familiar with the effects of major hormones and the principle of their action through receptors. Characterizes the composition and function of the main body fluids. Understand the processes of hemocoagulation.
