BSN1-B Biochemistry Lecture

Carbohydrate synthesis

Carbohydrate is one of the most imporant nutrients that we can get in foods. As an individual
that is involved in medical field, we need this to have energy whenever we have duties, lectures, and
paper works. It can’t be removed in our diet since it sustains our needs in sugars that are really essential
in our body such as monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. In line with this, Carbohydrate
production and breakdown are critical for cellular function because they provide the energy for most
metabolic functions. There are a ton of important sugars which our body needed thus, our body create
a specific process to metabolize, digest, and absorb these nutrients and sugars. Human body is indeed
amazing in its nature.

Vitamins

Understanding Vitamins and its concept is a pivotal factor for us students. Nowadays, the idea of
some people in these topics are vitamins without thinking that we really need vitamins to avoid certain
diseases, keep a healthy body physically and mentally, and life our life to the fullest. Certain vitamins
can be synthesized to some extent by humans. Vitamin D, for example, is formed when the skin is
exposed to sunlight; niacin is made from the amino acid tryptophan; and vitamin K and biotin are made
by bacteria in the stomach. Humans, on the other hand, rely on their diet to provide vitamins. In
summary, there are two types of soluble vitamins, which are Fat soluble vitamins and water-soluble
vitamins that our body needs, we as a medical related courses should understand the effects of each
vitamin in our body and how they are processed.

Biochemistry of Blood

The role of the blood in the body is very hectic and crucial. It is connected to pretty much all
system in our body, thus without it those system won’t function that will cause to death of an organism.
In addition, there are pivotal factors that the bloods give us and that’s survivability. Following a vascular
damage, the body's capacity to manage blood flow is critical for sustained survival. Hemostasis refers to
the process of blood clotting and subsequently dissolving the clot when the wounded tissue has been
repaired. Blood is a fluid that transfers carbon dioxide and other waste materials away from the cells
while transporting oxygen and nutrients to them. Blood is a transport liquid that is pumped by the heart
to all regions of the body before being returned to the heart to resume the process.

Biochemistry in Urine

Urine is a liquid or semisolid solution of metabolic wastes and other, frequently hazardous,
compounds that the excretory organs remove from the circulatory fluids and expel from the body. Urine
has a tendency to reflect the organism's water requirements. In addition, the kidneys alter urinary
excretion to maintain the body's electrolytes, acid-base, and volume status. Urine biochemistry can give
you valuable diagnostic information. This chapter discusses how urine biochemistry can be used in the
intensive care unit (ICU) to aid in the diagnosis, investigation, and monitoring of a range of illnesses.
