Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
o Lists cranial nerves, endocrine organs and sensory organs, defines their anatomical features and interrelationships, points them and their neighborhood on the cadaver and identifies on radiologic images
o Explains the embryological development, physiological function and genetic regulation of endocrine glands, sensory organs and the organs of the immune system, recognizes their cells under the microscope
o Defines pharmacodynamics, drug actions and interactions
o Explains and practices sterilization and disinfection rules

Course Content

Anatomy covers cranial nerves, endocrine and sensory organs; the knowledge given is consolidated on cadaver and radiologic images. Histology and embyology as well as physiology lectures cover histology and embryology of endocrine and sensory organs. Biophysics focuses on biophysical aspects of sensations. Medical genetics clarifies genetic regulation of endocrine system and the genetics of color vision. Medical pharmacology and medical immunology give their introduction lectures. Medical microbiology teaches sterilization and disinfection.
