Cell Biology with Cytophysiology 1600-Lek11BKOM-NJ

The lectures are aimed to acquaint of students with the current state of knowledge in the field of cell biology and cytophysilogy.
The aim of tutorials is to deepen and complement the knowledge presented during lectures. During the tutorials, the student also learns to recognize cell structures on electronograms, and receive information about the latest techniques for locating cell structures and identifying processes taking place in the cell area.

Learning outcomes - knowledge

W1: Describes the basic cell structures (A.W2) W2: Discusses the functional specializations of cellular structures (A.W2) W3: Characterizes related to communication between cells and between cells and the extracellular matrix; knows intracellular signal transduction pathways (B.W16) W4: Describes the processes: cell cycle, cell proliferation, differentiation, ageing and types of cell death (B.W17) W5: Characterizes fundamental issues related to stem cells (B.W18)

Learning outcomes - skills

U1: Correctly operates optical microscope (A.U1) U2: Recognizes cellular structures in electron microscope images, describes and interprets their structure (A.U2)

Learning outcomes - social competencies

K1: Is aware of one's own limitations and the need for constant education (K_K05) K2: Consciously uses objective sources of information, including scientific articles and databases (K_K07) K3: Attempts to formulate appropriate conclusions from microscopic observations (K_K08)
