1- Structure and function (subdivision)
mulecolar interactions (chemical bonds and organic biomolecular
characteristics)
- compartmentalization: cells and tissues
- Intracellular compartments: the cell membrane, cellular junctions
(epithelia) supporting tissues (connective, extracellular matrix),
excitable tissues (muscle tissue, nervous tissue)
2- Living organisms require energy
Energy in biological systems (chemical, transport and mechanical work)
Free and activation energy, exoergonic, endoergonic (enzymes)
Metabolism: the routes of production of the ATP
Proteine Proteins as a key to cell function and the role of DNA
Flow of information, the functioning of the body The information
constructed in the DNA for each individual organism
Membrana Membrane processes: diffusion, mediated transport of
structural proteins, enzymes, receptors, transporters:
active ratio = Na / K pump, vesicular transport, transport
through epithelia
Resting membrane potential
Integrated membrane processes (insulin secretion).
Signal transduction
4- Homeostasis and control systems: feedback
Endocrine system
Central and autonomic nervous system: cellular properties of neurons
and nervous network (action potentials, graduated potentials)
- Muscles
- Integrative physiology: movement control
- Cardiovascular system
- Blood
- Respiratory system
- Kidneys
- hydro-electrolyte balance
