Learning Outcomes
1Gains knowledge about biochemical concepts and molecular basis of living systems. The basis of health is normal biochemical processes and that all diseases; understands that molecules are the result of abnormalities of chemical reactions and processes.
2Gains knowledge about the composition of the body and the main classes of molecules found in the body. He learns that the basic structures of the human body are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, water and minerals, and learns the structures, functions and metabolisms of these molecules, and understands how the metabolic integrity between all these molecules is provided.
3Gains knowledge about DNA and RNA structure and their roles in the cell.
4Learns the structure and functions of hemoglobin and myoglobin. Gains knowledge about the basics of jaundice.
5Gains knowledge about the structures and biochemical functions of vitamins and enzymes.
6Gains knowledge about the composition of body fluids, mineral metabolism and functions.
7Have sufficient information about hormonal control of metabolism, structure and functions of hormones, hormonal disorders.
8Gains knowledge about taking necessary samples for laboratory studies and preanalytical factors affecting laboratory tests.
