Cell Biology is a subject focused on the study of the structural and functional organization of the eukaryotic cell, not only of each of its parts but also of the relationships between the different organelles and the processes that take place (secretion, transport, signaling, Proliferation, etc.). The practices of the subject are based on the use of the microscope and the realization of different techniques to visualize different cell types and their structures, those of greater pedagogical value. It is also an essential discipline to know the other levels of complexity, both lower (atomic and molecular) and higher (systems, individuals, associations of individuals, etc.) imparted in other subjects (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Physiology, Microbiology, Botany, Zoology, etc.).

Subject objectives/competences
1) To know the functions of the cellular components, relate them and understand that the
Functioning of the cell is the result of the functioning of its components.
2) To understand the events of the cell cycle, its regulation and the importance of both cell division and apoptosis.
3) To understand that cell defects are the basis of pathology.
4) To describe and interpret cell structure and ultrastructure from optical and electron microscopy images.
5) To master the basic terminology of cellular biology in order to express concepts related to the subject.
