Course Objectives The aim of the first part of this course is to encourage students to discuss the structure and functions of the male and female reproductive systems, pregnancy and birth processes, the characteristic features of embryonic and fetal developmental stages. The aim of the second part is to learn the structure and functions of the skeletal muscles and joints, exercise types and importance for the health. The aim of the last part is to understand the organization and molecular structure of the nervous system, embryological developments of the central and peripheral nervous systems, structure and functions of the nervous system and sensory organs and more specifically concepts of neural transmission, neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, their structures and receptors, signaling pathways and their metabolisms. The core bases of the human behavior, sensory perception and motor movements are controlled, high cortical functions, learning and memory mechanisms, and normal behavioral development will also be covered.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • 1. Explain the structural, functional and embryological properties of male and female reproductive systems.
  • 2. Explain the embryonic and fetal development, and the mechanisms of postnatal changes
  • 3. Explain the structural and functional properties of bones and the mechanisms of construction-destruction cycle.
  • 4. Explain the developmental, structural and functional properties of the muscles of the human body.
  • 5. Explain the organization, development, cells and signaling mechanisms of the nervous system.
  • 6. Describe the parts of the peripheral nervous system and explain their functions.
  • 7. Describe the parts of the central nervous system and explain their functions.
  • 8. Explain the structures and divisions of autonomic nervous system; synthesis, metabolisms, receptors, mechanisms of action and effects of related neurotransmitters.
  • 9. Describe the macroscopic and microscopic properties of sensory organs, their embryologic development, and explain sensory perception.
  • 10. Explain the constitution of motion with related structures.
  • 11. Describe the structures and functions related to the neuroendocrine system and integrate this information with the concept of homeostasis
  • 12. Explain the structures and functions of the limbic system.
  • 13. Explain the structures and functions of the neuroendocrine system and integrate this information with the concept of homeostasis.
  • 14. Explain the mechanisms of pain formation and pain control.
  • 15. Describe the circulatory features of the central nervous system. Establish a functional relationship between the vessels and their related areas.
  • 16. Describe neurobiological basis of behavior.
  • 17. Classify the general drug groups affecting central nervous system (CNS) and explain their mechanisms of action.
  • 18. Describe viruses and explain the effects of microorganisms on the nervous system.
  • 19. By using the components of critical thinking, determine the arguments in a literature, identify the components and evaluate them.
Course Description In this course, the structure and functions of the male and female reproductive systems, pregnancy and birth processes, the characteristic features of embryonic and fetal developmental stages, structure and functions of the skeletal muscles and joints, exercise types and importance for the health skeletal muscles, the organization of the nervous system, the embryological development of central and peripheral nervous systems, the structural and functional properties of neurons and glial cells, structure and function of nervous system parts, structure and function of sense organs, sensory perception, motor movement and behavior control, high cortical functions, learning and memory mechanisms will be addressed.
