Module 2 Learning goals.

Introduction
The first sub-module will get you started on your "MSDS Project." Then we'll spend some more time with preliminary material, to help you understand the textbook and later lectures.

Learning Goals
Submodule 2A Death in the Laboratory; MSDS; TRI

There are many, many chemicals in the workplace and the environment,
Some chemicals can be deadly, even in very small quantities,
MSDS sheets are required by law for chemicals in commerce and provide a good starting place for assessing safety.
The quality of MSDS sheets is highly variable.

Submodule 2B Organic Chemistry, just a little Introduce organic chemistry nomenclature: hydrocarbons, isomers, alkanes, paraffins, aliphatic, unsaturated, alkenes, olefins, aromatic, polycyclic aromatic, (numbering to indicate substitutents),(CAS, CAS number, functional group, "R", aldehyde, ketone, alkyl, aryl, heterocycle, carboxylic acid, amine,
Submodule 2C Biochemistry, just a little Introduce biochemical nomenclature and some mechanisms. fats, triglycerides, saturated, unsaturated, carbohydrate, amino acid, polypeptide, protein,
Submodule 2D Tissues, Organs, Systems, Signals and Receptors.

More nomenclature: ribosome, prokaryotes, eukaryotes, nucleus, cell membrane, organelles: ER, lysosomes, mitochondria, DNA, RNA, The protein manufacturing process: transcription, translation, codon; gene; chromosome; Tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, nerve; Major organ systems and their major organs; parasympathetic nervous system, sympathetic nervous system.

Signals: electrical, water soluble, lipid, local

etiology; pathogenesis,

Cell wall transport: diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport.

Submodule 1E Kinetics, Intro, Absorption Kinetics: absorption, distribution, biotransformation, excretion; Primary routes of exposure: GI, lungs, skin; Movement of xenobiotic into cells, diffusions: active, facilitated, and passive transport.
