Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, the students;

  1. To be able to discuss discus the morphological structure of the central nervous system, its vascularization, and the pathways. They should also be able to discus the lesions of the central nervous system related with physiology.
  2. To be able to recognize and evaluate structural features of cells, tissues and organs belonging to nervous system. Their role in the human body, to distinguish the cells, tissues and organs of this system by self examination under light microscope and to be able to presume and correlate the reasons of abnormal development of this system and the underlying mechanisms knowing the basic elements of normal development
  3. To be able to interpret sensory and motor functions of the central nervous system and to perform associated physical examination methods and also to discuss physiological mechanisms of special senses.
  4. To be able to interpret genetic approach of clinical and diagnostic implements of the muscular and neurological disorders
  5. To be able to recognize and evaluate structural features of cells, tissues and organs belonging to endocrine system. Their role in the human body, to distinguish the cells, tissues and organs of this system by self examination under light microscope and to be able to presume and correlate the reasons of abnormal development of these systems and the underlying mechanisms knowing the basic elements of normal development
Mode of DeliveryFace to face
PrerequisitesNo
Recommended Optional Programme ComponentsThe entire curriculum of the academic year
Course DescriptionThe main objectives of the course are to familiarize students with the morphology of the central nervous systems and organs of special sense and especially with the nervous pathways and their lesions, to help students to understand basic concepts and approaches in nervous system physiology and the development and histology of nervous systems and microscopic structure of the organs of special senses like eye and ear and to describe the basic concepts and approaches of biophysical events related with nervous system to help them to develop an understanding of related biophysical issues and to explain basic concepts of the neurological disorders.
Course Contents This course reviews the basic principles related to anatomy, histology-embryology, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics and medical genetics of nervous and endocrine system
