Credits 4

​​​This course emphasizes principles and concepts of structure-function relationships in major biomolecules and human metabolism. This course includes lectures (and workshops which utilize small group discussions) focusing on clinical case studies to illustrate principles of clinical biochemistry and application to the practice of pharmacy.​​​ 

BIOCD 1553: Cell and Tissue Structure and Function

Credits 2
This course provides an introduction to cell and tissue biology and metabolism, focusing on the structure and function of normal human tissue and organs. The student gains a basic science framework to apply to physical therapy intervention. Application of this material helps students understand: 1) growth and development of human cells, tissues, organs and organ systems; 2) functional differences in cells, tissues, organs and organ systems; 3) tissue healing and repair; 4) response of tissue to therapeutic intervention.
