The course committee content covers the skeletal system, general characteristics of bones, bones of the upper and lower extremities, columna vertebralis, thoracic bones, neurocranium, viscerocranium, and the entire cranial skeleton. Within the scope of the committee, the anatomical structures and locations of bones, the formations on them, and their functions within the locomotor system are addressed.

The course content includes the examination of the basic histological characteristics of epithelial tissue, covering and glandular epithelia, connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage tissue, and bone tissue. In addition, fundamental biochemical topics such as mineral metabolism, electrolytes, iron metabolism, trace elements, calcium-phosphorus metabolism, and the biochemistry of bone tissue are included.

Throughout the committee, students acquire knowledge about genetic topics and applications such as chromosomal abnormalities, cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic methods, recombinant DNA technology, genetic counseling, personalized medicine, DNA isolation from blood, PCR, gel electrophoresis, restriction enzyme digestion, and the RFLP technique. In addition, evidence-based medicine practices, scientific authorship, selection of articles appropriate to the aim, and the development of evidence-based medicine are also included within the course content.

The aim of the course committee is to enable students to acquire fundamental knowledge about the anatomical, histological, biochemical, and genetic characteristics of cartilage, bone, and connective tissues. Within this scope, students are expected to learn the bones that constitute the skeletal system, their locations, anatomical structures, and functions within the locomotor system.

During the committee process, students are expected to comprehend the basic structural characteristics, classification, and distinguishing features of epithelial, connective, cartilage, bone, and adipose tissues. In addition, it is aimed that students learn topics such as mineral metabolism, electrolytes, iron metabolism, calcium-phosphorus metabolism, trace elements, and the biochemistry of bone tissue.

The course committee also aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge about chromosomal abnormalities, cytogenetic methods, recombinant DNA technology, personalized medicine, genetic counseling, and molecular genetic applications. Furthermore, through topics such as scientific authorship, article selection, and evidence-based medicine, it is aimed to develop students'scientific thinking and academic evaluation skills.
