    Study Notes

    Blood

    • Blood 1: Heme Synthesis and Degradation: Focus on the processes of heme synthesis and breakdown.
    • Blood 2: Hemostasis: Understand the mechanisms of blood clotting and stopping bleeding.
    • Blood 3: Anticoagulants: Learn about substances that prevent blood clotting.
    • Blood 4: Biochemical Measurements: Review the measurement techniques for various blood components.
    • Clinical Correlation (Hemophilia A, B, and von Willebrand Disease): Study these bleeding disorders, their causes, and treatments.

    Endocrinology

    • Endocrinology 1: Molecular Endocrinology: Examine the molecular basis of endocrine function.
    • Endocrinology 2: Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Growth Hormone: Understand the roles of these structures in regulating growth and development.
