Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, the students;

  1. To discuss the morphological structure and the locations of the components of circulation and respiratory systems and the neck region, and evaluate their disorders related with physioanatomy
  2. To be able to explain the physiological properties of cardiovascular and respiratory systems and to discuss the interaction among them.
  3. To be able to recognize and evaluate structural features of cells, tissues and organs belonging to cardiovascular and respiratory systems and their role in the human body, to distinguish the cells, tissues and organs of these systems by self examination under light microscope and to presume and correlate the reasons of abnormal development of these systems and the underlying mechanisms knowing the basic elements of normal development
  4. To be able to explain the biochemical mechanisms in blood and tissue oxygenation and discuss the interactions between cardiovascular and respiratory systems and blood.
  5. To be familiar with the basic concepts and approaches of biophysical events related with the circulatory and respiratory systems to help them to develop an understanding of biophysical issues in these systems
Mode of DeliveryFace to face

Recommended Optional Programme ComponentsThe entire curriculum of the academic year
Course DescriptionThis course reviews the basic principles related to anatomy, histology-embryology, physiology, biophysics and biochemistry of cardiovascular and respiratory systems
Course Contents The main objectives of the course are to familiarize students with morphological /fine structure, development, innervation and vascularization of neck region, cardiovascular and respiratory organs in relation to their localizations in the human body, to teach the basics of normal and abnormal development of the head and neck region, respiratory and cardiovascular systems; histology of these systems, to help students to understand the functional components of cardiovascular and respiratory systems including dynamics of circulation and respiration to describe congenital developmental disorders.
