My favorite Subject

Hi everyone! In this post I will write about my favorite subject of my fifth semester at the university.

Of my 6 courses that I have, the one I most enjoy studying was General Pharmacology. 

This course has as requirements two subjects, '' Systems Physiology '' and '' Chemical Analysis Laboratory ''. In this course, there are theoretical classes, where the theme to study are the processes of Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion of the drugs, Theory of the Receptors and Preclinical Studies of the drugs. In addition to the classes, we have laboratories and seminars although this semester we only had three of each. 

In the laboratories we did different activities such as evaluating the percentage of binding of the drug to transporting proteins, predicting the absorption of the drug and analyzing the metabolization. On the other hand, the seminars consisted of evaluating the results obtained in laboratories and reading scientific article related to the topic. All this was evaluated with controls.

This subject is very important for me because it is the basis for the subjects that come later. I liked it because I learned about the processes that the drug undergoes in the organism to cause an effect and the conditions that the potential molecules must have to become drugs, which was very interesting.
