Physiology and Biochemistry

Course Description: The course is designed to enable students to explain the mechanism of enzyme and coenzyme action. It also aims to provide an understanding of the risks of free radicals, immunochemistry, and the different types of immunoglobulins. Additionally, the course empowers students to comprehend cancer biology, tumor markers, and various biotechnological methods and their applications. Furthermore, this course equips students to explain the physiology of the digestive, renal, nervous, circulatory, and respiratory systems.
Credit hours: 4
Objectives of the course :

1- Enable students to identify the structure, function, and kinetics of enzymes, as well as metabolic disorders.
2. Develop an understanding of different immune interactions in cells, antigen-antibody interactions, and various immunoassays, and provide an explanation of the mechanism of chemical carcinogenesis and antioxidants.
3. Enable students to direct molecular biology concepts and how this field has given us a new perspective and new technologies used in diagnosis, treatment, and the design of new drugs.
4. Focus on the human physiology of the circulatory and respiratory systems.
5. Focus on human physiology of the nervous system, involuntary muscles, musculoskeletal system, and pain.
Focus on the physiology of the human gastrointestinal and renal systems.
