Course objectives
The course extends the knowledge of biochemistry acquired in the course Biochemistry I and deals with the integration of biochemical processes in the human body. The aim is to understand biochemical processes characteristic of individual tissues and organs and principles of their regulation. It focuses on the relationship between health and disease from a biochemical point of view. It points to the links between biochemical principles and other medical subjects such as physiology, immunology, pharmacology, toxicology and others. It is also an introduction to clinical biochemistry.
Learning outcomes
The student is able:
- to explain the ways of obtaining biological material for biochemical analysis and is familiar with the rules of manipulation.
- to describe physiological values of the most important biochemical parameters.
- to interpret the results of biochemical analyzes, discusses the significance of the findings.
- to understand the principles of the most important biochemical-analytical methodologies.
- to be oriented in basic laboratory manipulations.
