Abstract

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.

Key topics

Basic chemical terms, concentration, electrolytes. Osmotic pressure. Osmolarity and osmolality. 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. Remedial test.

Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements

Credit. Conditions for giving the course-unit credit are as follows: 1) completion of all seminars and 2) completion of progress tests. Failure to meet the requirements of the progress tests requires a remedial test, which may be repeated once. Detailed conditions are published in IS MUNI (Study materials – Course-related instructions). Only one absence is allowed and all absences must be substituted.

Language of instruction

Czech
