Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students should be able to:
- Understand basic cellular and tissue reactions to different types of injuries, Ranging from causes of cell injury, cell adaptation and cell death. Understand the relevant morphologic changes and how they are detected and evaluated.
- Gain knowledge about the normal function of the circulatory system. Understand the causative factors and the development of disorders of blood clotting, blood distribution and perfusion.
- Learn about the stimuli inducing acute inflammation, the different phases and eventual resolution or progression towards chronic inflammation. Understand the beneficial and harmful aspects of inflammation. Know to identify the morphological characteristics of acute and chronic inflammation.
- Acquire knowledge about the basic biology of neoplasia, the characteristics of benign and malignant neoplasms and the molecular basis of neoplastic transformation. Understand the host response to tumors and the morphological and clinical features of neoplasia.
- Be familiar with basic concepts of normal immune responses and the consequences of inappropriate immune responses.
