GMED G650 - Defenses and Responses


Credits: 3

The Defenses and Responses module is focused on understanding the immune system and mechanisms by which the body defends against pathophysiological and pathological influences, including infectious organisms and malignant transformations. This module also addresses how abnormalities in the immune system lead to disease, from infection to autoimmune disorders. Integrated within this module is the basic introduction to pathology, understanding pathogenesis, and the study of the body’s response to disruptions including those induced by trauma, infection, congenital defects and drugs.
