LMP363H1 - Principles of Pathobiology 24L

Course description

Pathological changes brought on by foreign compounds; mechanisms of pathologic, toxic and carcinogenic change.

The objective of this course is to familiarize you with the principles underlying the ways in which living organisms, in particular mammalian organisms, and their contained organs, tissues and cells, respond and react to disturbances in the environment (exogenous and endogenous) that may lead to disease.

The emphasis in this course will be mainly descriptive, in that the orientation will be the patterns of responses and their consequences to the host. However, where applicable, we will explore biochemical and molecular mechanisms.

We will include cell and tissue injury, repair, inflammation, immune responses, selected toxic agents, neoplasia and a few examples of selected responses of specific organ systems to toxic agents.
