Course Objectives
A detailed look at cellular physiology, structure and function. Students are expected to learn the role played by the different organelles in the functioning of the cell as a coordinated entity. Where relevant, a shift from homeostasis, encompassing diseased states will be discussed.
Course Content
Structural and functional analysis of the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments of the cell with emphasis on the microscopic and submicroscopic structure of muscle, nerve, secretory and sensory cells.
Course Learning Outcomes
The student is expected to gain comprehensive knowledge on cellular organelles, cell membrane, their functions, cell - cell interactions and diseases that result in organelle dysfunction. Relevant laboratory techniques to study cellular functions will be discussed in class.
