Course objectives
The course builds on Biochemistry I and deals with the integration of biochemical processes in the human body. The aim is to understand the biochemical processes characteristic of individual tissues and organs and the principles of their regulation. It focuses on the relationship between health and disease from a biochemical point of view. It points out the connections between biochemical principles and other medical subjects, such as physiology, immunology, pharmacology, toxicology and others.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- explain the basic interrelationships between nutrient metabolism in different conditions of the organism
- describe the metabolic characteristics of major organs and tissues and major disorders
- understand the principles of maintaining homeostasis and acid-base balance
- discuss the composition of body fluids and its disorders in connection with the principles of homeostasis
- explain the principles of metabolism regulation at all levels
