Course Description:
General learning objectives/final objectives a) Knows the specific structure, function and role of the different metabolic molecules, cells and tissues/organs in the human body. b) Can explain the coherence of tissue morphology (histology), hormones (endocrinology) and metabolic pathways (biochemistry) in the proper functioning of humans as an integrated system. c) Understands the human reaction to acute or chronic changes in lifestyle (dieting, sports) and during disease. d) Can explain the underlying cause of tissue-specific effects of gene mutations. e) Understands the biochemical background and working mechanisms of several well-known lifestyle and nutrition-related substances (vitamins) and medicaments (cholesterol reducing agents, aspirin). Educational track “Mathematic modeling” in Biomedical Sciences: The student: a) knows how the speed equation for a particular enzyme, that is influenced by effectors, is built up mathematically, can qualitatively predict the behavior of an enzyme based on this equation and can produce graphs that reflect this behavior. b) can
