Células y tejidos from edX

En este curso, exploraremos el asombroso mundo celular y molecular que comparten todos los seres humanos. Aunque existen algunas diferencias superficiales entre los dos sexos, en esencia, todos estamos construidos siguiendo un mismo patrón celular y molecular.

Descubriremos que la construcción del cuerpo humano se inicia a nivel microscópico, donde las células juegan un papel fundamental como las unidades básicas de la vida. Veremos cómo estas células, aunque frágiles por sí mismas, se combinan para formar los distintos tejidos, que son la base de la estructura y el funcionamiento del organismo completo.

A lo largo del curso, desentrañaremos la complejidad de la interconexión e integración entre las células y los tejidos, mostrándote cómo cada uno depende del otro para asegurar el adecuado funcionamiento del organismo.

Únete a nosotros en este MOOC y maravíllate con el fascinante proceso de formar un ser vivo tan complejo. Obtendrás una comprensión profunda del funcionamiento del cuerpo humano y apreciarás la belleza y la maravilla de la biología en acción.
