Course objectives
Seminars are complementary to the course Biochemistry II - lecture. The aim of the course is to practise (i) the basic principles of intermediary metabolism and its regulation in various states of the organism at all levels, (ii) the characteristic features of metabolism of individual organs and tissues, (iii) the principles of maintaining homeostasis of the organism, including acid-base balance.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is able to:
- explain the interrelationships between nutrient metabolism in different conditions of the organism
- describe the metabolic characteristics of the main organs and tissues
- understand the principles of maintaining homeostasis and acid-base balance in the organism
- 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
