(ii) OBJECTIVES:
(a) KNOWLEDGE:
At the end of the course, the student shall be able to:
(1) Describe the structure and ultrastructure of a sick cell, mechanisms of cell degeneration, cell death and repair and be able to correlate structure and functional alterations;
(2) Explain the pathophysiological processes which govern the maintenance of homeostatis, mechanisms of their disturbance and the morphological and clinical manifestations associated with it;
(3) Describe the mechanisms and patterns to tissue response to injury such that he/she can appreciate the pathophysiology of disease processes and their clinical manifestations;
(4) Correlate normal and altered morphology (Gross and Microscopic) of different organ systems in common diseases to the e
