Aims

To provide an introduction to the field of cell biology (the study of the structure and function of cells).

Learning Outcomes

1.
Describe the relationships between structure, function and communication in cells and tissues.
2.
Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of basic cell signalling and receptors
3.
Use experimental methods to explain key molecules and cellular processes
4.
Communicate cellular scientific information

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Cell structure/function: general differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes (including animal and plant cells), cytoskeleton, lysosomes/peroxisomes/vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, cell adhesions/extracellular matrix. Cell cycle Membrane structure/function Basic tissues/histology Basic cell signalling and receptors including receptor tyrosine kinase and MAP kinase, JAK/STAT pathways
Module Overview:
The aim of this module is to provide an introduction to the field of cell biology (the study of the structure and function of cells).This module will enable you to demonstrate basic understanding of cell structure/function and how cells give rise to functions within tissues.
Additional Information:This module will enable students to demonstrate basic understanding of cell structure/function and how cells give rise to functions within tissues. Students will encounter experimental methods to investigate the relevant areas of cell biology.
