Study Notes

EBL Semester 1 Notes

Course material covers Cholera, microbes, antibiotics, blood, malaria, nutrition, and muscles/energy.
Vocabulary includes terms like centrifuges, cholera, epidemic, pandemic, endemic, mannitol, autoclave, pipettes, rehydration salts, flagellated cells, ciliated cells, microbes, motile, ecology, haemocytometer, stethoscope, dysentery, differential count, blood smear, intravenous, venepuncture, malaria, ebola, pre-albumin, anaemia, hypocalcaemic, rachitic rosary, folate, ferritin, electromyography, muscle biopsy, Doppler ultrasound, McArdle syndrome, and more.
Case studies and learning objectives (ILOs) are included for each topic.
Important concepts include the function and effects of Cholera, electrolyte balance, treatment options, demographics affected, and methods of transmission.
The study of microbes, their structures, and the process of contamination is emphasized.
The role of different types of microorganisms, staining techniques, presence in water, filtration methods, and fluoridation processes are discussed.
The functions of blood, its components, blood analysis (blood smears, counts, and differential counts related to infections), infection spreading and prevention, and blood handling precautions are detailed.
Malaria's structure, lifecycle, spread, symptoms, treatment, demographics, pathology, and methods for drawing blood are covered, including associated complications.
Essential information on nutrition, such as the digestive system's anatomy and physiology (including enzymes), vitamins' importance and functions, minerals, healthy diets, malnutrition, rickets, and types of diets are covered, with specific focus on feeding a child.
There is content around muscle physiology and function, including types of muscles, energy consumption through aerobic and anaerobic respiration, muscle contraction mechanisms, enzyme roles, and muscle-related disorders (McArdle syndrome) along with relevant diagnostic tests (MRI, electromyography, muscle biopsy).
Cardiovascular system physiology, including the anatomy of the heart, cardiac cycle, circulatory system, effects of exercise on the heart, cardiac output, blood pressure and its normal ranges, autonomic nervous systems' functions, and diagnostic testing (ECG, echocardiogram) are included, focusing on cardiovascular diseases and symptoms.
