Objective
You understand the biochemistry and the research objectives of body functioning.
You deepen your knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences and are able to adapt that knowledge to your own field.
You reinforce your knowledge of anatomy.
You can describe the structure and function of the cell and tissues.
You understand the structure of different types of tissues of the human body in terms of histology and its effect on, for example, the healing properties of that tissue.
Content
What is biochemical activity in the body and what are biochemical research topics?
How can biochemical research supplement your own professional skills?
How does the structure of different tissue types affect their properties?
Course material
The study material is in Learn. I recommend using books as additional material:
Heino, Jyrki & Vuento, Matti: Biochemistry and cell biology. SanomaPro. Helsinki. 2020
Tapana, Pentti: A living cell. Gaudeamus. 2010
Study forms and methods
Local teaching and exercises.
RDI and work-related cooperation
No
Timing of exams and assignments
The completion of the course is done as a Learn exam in face-to-face teaching. Participation in cytology and histology laboratories is mandatory.
International cooperation
No
Student workload
1 ECTS corresponds to approximately 27 hours of student work. However, the amount of work depends on the study methods and
from previous competence.
Course part description
Regarding biochemistry, we get to know the most important biomolecules in the body.
Cell biology deals with the structure and function of the cell. Especially the energy economy of the cell and protein
