Abstract
The course is suplementary to the courses Biochemistry - lecture and practises (ABCHp and ABCHc). Selected topics from biochemistry are discussed and extended by special topics needed for studied program.
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.
Only one absence is allowed and all absences must be substituted. Absences are excused via the Study Department.
Detailed conditions are published in IS MUNI (Study materials – Course-related instructions).
