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 completition of the subject student will understand physico-chemical processes important for biological systems, He is able to
- explain basic principles of nutrient metabolism,
- discuss the principles of regulation,
- understand how energy is generated, used, and stored by the various organs of the body,
- describe the biochemical proceses typical for main organs and tissues in the body (heart, liver, kidney muscle, nerve tissue),
- explain basic principles of homeostasis,
- characterize the composition and function of the main body fluids,
- understand the processes of hemocoagulation.
He is familiar with the effects of major hormones and the principle of their action through receptors.

Teaching methods
Teaching form are lectures, 2 hours per week.
Assessment methods
Written examination. The test is solved on computers in the computer room of the Department of Biochemistry (in the case of failure at the 2nd resit term the exam continues with the oral part). The questions are focused on basic concepts necessary for understanding the processes in the human body (simple calculations of concentrations, pH, osmolarity, other concepts – acids, basies, buffers, selected elements), on topics related to static biochemistry, cellular metabolism, and biochemical processes that take place in human organs and tissues.
