to provide an understanding and knowledge of the mechanisms of toxicity including the
role of metabolism in enhancing and reducing toxicity and the effects of toxicants on
major organ systems. Students are expected to learn the following fundamental
toxicological concepts: major classes of toxicants, absorption, distribution and storage
of toxicants, biotransformation and elimination of toxicants, and effects of toxicants on
major organ systems. Clinical and environmental agents specific to human health and
an introduction to risk assessment of exposure to toxicants will also be discussed. -
ANSWER-primary goal of this course
Grades that are "XX.5-XX.9" will be rounded up to the next whole number.
At the end of the semester or anytime during the semester, do not ask if there is
