Course title:	Macromolecules in the visual process
Name in Polish:	Makromolekuły w procesie widzenia
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Physics
Course groups:	ESOO - European programme in ophthalmic optics and optometry; 4th year courses
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	3.50 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Short description:	The purpose of this lecture is to describe the structure and function of selected biomolecules that are found in the tissues and body fluids of the human eye.
Full description:	Tears (secretion of water and electrolytes, sodium-potassium pump, secretion of proteins, lysozyme, lipid fraction) Corneal epithelium (ion transport, transparency, energy metabolism) Corneal endothelium (oxygen consumption, metabolic pumps) Sclera (structural properties, collagen, proteoglycans) Ciliary body (cell types, aqueous humor secretion, aqueous humor outflow and drainage) Lens (structure and transparency, hydration, crystallins, cataract formation and development) Retina (structure and cycle of rhodopsin, conversion of light energy into energy of electrical impulses transmitted to the visual cortex, photochemical cycles of photopigments found in cones)

Learning outcomes:	The student: - knows the macromolecules involved in the dynamic processes occurring in the eye - knows transport processes and their role in the secretory processes of the eye - knows the basics of neuroregulation and hormonal regulation of processes occurring in the eye - knows and understands the course of the photochemical cycle of rhodopsin and its role in the process of vision - understands the importance of the extracellular matrix and its transparency within the optical system of the eye
