UNIT IV

SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION

9

Receptors – extracellular signaling, Cell surface / cytosolic receptors and examples, Differentclasses of receptors antocrine / paracrine / endocrine models, Secondary messengers molecules

UNIT V

TECHNIQUES USED TO STUDY CELLS

9

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS

COURSE OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this course, the students
1. Would have deeper understanding of cell at structural and functional level.
2. Would have broad knowledge on the molecular interaction between cells.
3. Would demonstrate a clear understanding of the signal transduction, secondary messengers.
4. Would develop skill on working principles of microscopy and identification of cell types.
