Microbiology and General Pathology

· Congenital and hereditary disorders.
· Local and systemic response to damage. Repair by healing, fever, shock.
· Cellular pathology. Adaptation, response, damage. Accumulation diseases. Cell death: apoptosis and necrosis.
· Acute inflammation: vascular phase, adhesion molecules and chemotaxis, chemical mediators.
· Chronic inflammation: cell mediators, granuloma, fibrosis.
· Blood disorders: anaemia, haemophilia, hemostasis and thrombosis.
· Innate and acquired immunity. Humoral and cell-mediated immunity.
· Immunopathology: hypersensitivity reactions. Immunological tolerance, autoimmunity and immunodeficiency.
· Carcinogenesis. Induced oncogenesis: chemical, physical and viral.
