Purpose and description of the content of education:
The issues of cell death, in the basic scope, will provide the necessary knowledge in the modern world about various types of cell death (genetically programmed and passive). The main aspects developed in this course will concern the knowledge of the morphological-structural and physiological-molecular features of various types of cell death and selected mechanisms of cell defense against the activation of cell death. The aim of the course is to provide the student with: (1) basic knowledge in the field of modern theories explaining cell death and the ability to categorize types of death (2) the ability to analyze source materials, consolidate knowledge of the types of cell death and use this knowledge in the analysis of organisms' response to stress, ( 3) competencies in the scope of independent development of source materials, formulating own views, discussions and expressing opinions on the types of cell death and its role in the reaction of organisms to abiotic factors and its role in ontogenesis.
