The content of this course committee includes the structure and functions of the cell membrane, transport mechanisms across the cell membrane, cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions, cellular signal transduction, and intracellular communication mechanisms. In addition, the committee covers fundamental biochemical topics such as the structure and classification of enzymes, enzyme kinetics, enzyme inhibition, membrane biochemistry, vitamins, coenzymes, and energy nucleotides.

The course content also addresses basic concepts related to homeostasis, ion channels, action potentials, synapse physiology, intracellular signaling mechanisms, and systems physiology. Furthermore, laboratory applications such as plasmolysis, deplasmolysis, osmosis, diffusion, hemolysis, and enzyme kinetics experiments are included.

Throughout the committee, students gain knowledge and practical skills in basic life support, first aid for bleeding, fractures and dislocations, burns, frostbite, drowning, and poisoning, as well as patient transportation techniques. In addition, topics such as communication skills, effective presentation preparation, and gender equality are included within the scope of the course content.

The aim of this course committee is to provide students with fundamental knowledge about intercellular interactions, the structure and functions of the cell membrane, cellular transport mechanisms, cell signaling, and cellular regulatory processes. In this context, students are expected to understand the basic biochemical processes related to enzyme structure, enzyme kinetics, membrane biochemistry, vitamins, coenzymes, and energy metabolism.

During the committee, students are also expected to learn fundamental physiological and biophysical concepts such as homeostasis, ion channels, action potentials, synapse physiology, and intracellular signaling mechanisms. In addition, the structure and functions of cell–cell junctions, extracellular matrix, cellular communication, and intracellular signaling pathways are covered.

The course committee also aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge and practical skills in basic life support, first aid for bleeding, fractures and dislocations, drowning, burns, frostbite, and poisoning, as well as patient transportation techniques.
