| Course Objectives: | This course aims to provide basic information on the structure and functions of the human body from the cellular level to the systems level, which mechanisms are involved in the regulation of these functions to ensure homeostasis, and how possible disorders in these mechanisms can disrupt body functions and cause diseases. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; • Explains the structure and main functions of the organs and organ systems that make up the human body. • Explains positive and negative feedback mechanisms and the importance of these mechanisms in providing homeostasis in the body with examples. • Describes the structure and functions of cells and cell organelles. • Explains and compares the concepts of membrane potential, action potential and postsynaptic potential. • Explains the structural and functional differences between the skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles with examples. • Explains the structure, content of blood and the functions of the formal elements of blood. • Describes the cardiovascular system and respiratory system structurally and functionally, explains the mechanisms that regulate these systems together with their components. • Explains the general organization and functions of the nervous system in basic terms, lists the types of cells and their functions. • Describes the structure and functions of the renal system. • Describes the structure and functions of the gastrointestinal system. • Explains the structure and functions of the endocrine tissues and organs, the main functions of the hormones released from these systems in the body, and how hormone release is regulated with examples. |
| In this course, while focusing on the basic concepts and issues of how the human body works from the cellular level to the organ systems level, the disorders that may occur in these systems and their consequences will be discussed through examples. |
