Course Objectives: The aim of this present block is to gain information regarding the blood tissue, circulatory system, including the heart, veins, and the arteries and respiratory system. Composition and function of blood and blood cell disorders will be discussed. The student will learn the development of cells, tissues and organs, histological and anatomical structures, their functions and relations with diseases and interactions between these systems.

Learning Outcomes

1. Describe the cellular and non-cellular components of blood including erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets, cells of immune system and their functions. Describe the composition and function of blood cells and body fluids and molecules.
2. Describe the development and structural properties of blood cells, lymphoid organs, haemostatic mechanisms and disorders related to blood cells. Define the circulatory system, its functions and related diseases.
3. Define the development of cardiovascular system, inner and outer surface of heart, location and projections of heart, cardiac skeleton, valves and locations and auscultation, images of the heart and the mediastinum, heart muscle. Define the histology and anatomy of vessels of the heart, coronary circulation, nerves and cardiac conduction system.
4. Define the signal transduction in heart muscle, rhythmical excitation of the heart, heart cycle and heart sounds, cardiac output, regulation of the cardiac functions, biochemistry of muscle contraction, electrocardiography, smooth muscles, vascular system, regulation of blood flow, short- and long-term regulation of blood pressure, measurement of blood pressure and flow
5. Define the development of respiratory system and its components, cavumnasi, paranasalsinusler, pharynx, images and histology of the upper and lower respiratory system. Define the structure, components and functions of larynx, trachea, lungs, pleura, mediastinum and its contents, diaphragm.
6. Define the respiratory mechanics; lung volume and capacities, gas exchange and gas transport and regulation of respiration. Define the genetic control of respiration and receptors in respiratory system.
