Micro and macro elements
0600-S2-CM-MME
The subject includes a 10-hour lecture, 15 hours of laboratory.
Lecture:
1. distribution of elements in the nature
2. issues related to the chemical characteristics of elements and their role
in the proper functioning of the human body
3. methods of assessing micro- and macroelement deficiencies (including selected analytical methods)
4. properties of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, fluorine and chlorine - consequences of its deficiency and excess in the body
5. properties of selected 3d-electron metals (e.g. copper, iron, zinc), sources of their supply, toxicity, consequences of excess and deficiency for the management of micro- and macroelements.
Laboratory:
1. determination of the stability constants of copper complexes with alanine
2. determination of phosphorus in selected preparations (dietary supplements)
Total student workload
1. Hours with the participation of teachers:
10h lecture
15h laboratory
25h mentoring
2. Time spent on individual work of the student/lecturer/course participant needed to successfully pass the subject, i.e. prior preparation and completion of notes; collection and selection of appropriate materials for classes, required repetition of material, writing papers, projects, reading literature: 10h of individual work
3. Time required to prepare for participation in the assessment process (e.g. in credits, laboratory tests): 15h of preparation
Total: 75h (3 ECTS)
Learning outcomes - knowledge
