Module code: BIS4017-B
Understanding how molecules within a cell interact is key to being able to understand how the human body responds to physiological changes or drug treatments. This module supports the programme by developing learners’ knowledge of the underlying concepts and core principles of Biomedical Science (PLO1) through the development of understanding of key chemical principles relevant to biological systems. This module covers the basic molecules of life, metabolism and function of these molecules and the role of electrolyte and pH homeostasis in supporting their physiological conformation. The biochemistry of processes that support life including cellular metabolism and its control will also be covered. This module will support those students seeking knowledge to support their employment or further study in medicine and medical research. It emphasises the importance of molecular interactions in normal physiological responses.
