Annotation
Lessons are focused on function of an eucaryotic cell. Function and diagnostic importance of enzymes are also explained.
These concepts are followed by a summary of digestion and metabolism of basic nutrients. Principles of hormonal regulations and an effect of nutrition are included.
In seminars is spoken about vitamins, function of liver or heme. Students make practical exercise in clinical laboratory.
