DOH233 Pathological Basis of Human Disease (8)
Abstract|
Students will gain a foundation level understanding of the biochemical, cellular and tissue responses that can arise as a consequence of injury to cells, tissues and body organ systems. This understanding will be developed in the context of the aetiology and pathogenesis of tbasic pathological processes including the degenerations, inflammation and sequelae, immunological reactivity, hypertrophy and hyperplasia, healing and neoplasia.
