Goals and objectives
Understanding the function of a living body at the molecular level is important for controlling the homeostasis of living organisms.
The course provides knowledge about the mechanism that how medicines maintain homeostasis of the living body at the molecular level. Especially, in the course thrombus formation and blood coagulation reaction, which cause the cardiovascular diseases occupying the upper level in the cause of death of Japanese people will be introduced. In addition, the action of poisons that threaten homeostasis of living organisms at the molecular level will be explained
Prerequisites
Nothing special.
Method Using AL・ICT
Presentation/Support for self-learning using ICT
