General etiology:
- concept of illness and morbid state
- biological, chemical and physical agents as a cause of illness
Acute inflammation (angioflogosis):
- vascular changes
- cells of the inflammatory process (properties, functions, leukocyte formula)
-chemiotaxis (leukocyte activation and phagocytosis)
- information about the exudate: characteristics, function, types of exudate, reabsorption of the exudate
-muscle chemical agents (property, function, mechanism of action): vasoactive amines, the complement, the coagulation system, arachidonic acid metabolites, cytokines and chemokines
Chronic inflammation (histoplogosis):
-cause and histological features
granulomatous inflammation
- morphological frameworks of acute and chronic inflammation
Systemic manifestations of inflammation (fever)
Healing process: resolution, repair and regeneration
The neoplasms:
- epidemiology and classification of tumors
-the molecular basis of cancer (oncogenes and tumor suppressors)
-mechanisms of invasion and metastatisation.
