DESCRIPTION
This course provides with a concentrated introduction to the cell biology and human organ system. It emphasizes the concepts associated with the cell and its constituents of macromolecules and organelles. It also provides basic knowledge associated with cell dynamics, including a detailed study of the cell cycle and the central metabolism. It finally provides with basic scientific terms of histology, physiology and the concept of homeostasis.

15. Objective of the course
The main goal of the course is to build the basic knowledge in diverse biological topics including macromolecules structure and function; cell structure and function; cell cycle; introduction to metabolism; cellular respiration; cell division, basics of bacterial and viral genetics, as well as animal form and function.
The course targets the molecular and cellular basis of life, basics in metabolism, emphasis on the tight relations between structure and function in living systems notably animals and humans, cellular respiration, meiotic and mitotic cell division along
