Course Content
The curriculum consists of required core courses (Anatomy, Physiology, Medical Biochemistry, Histology and Embryology, Biophysics, Clinical Practice, and Community-Based Medicine) and elective courses. Theoretical courses are taught in semester classrooms with full student participation. Practical sessions are held in the Anatomy Model Room and the Basic Medical Sciences Laboratories.
Objectives of the Course
In this course:
• The development of structures of the digestive system; basic knowledge of their microscopic and macroscopic structures and functions; and the ability to reinforce all this knowledge with clinical information;
• The components of the immune system, the formation and functioning of the immune response, defense against infectious agents, the immune response to tissues, and hypersensitivity reactions;
• Basic knowledge regarding the structural and functional characteristics of blood and blood cells, as well as the structures comprising the circulatory system at the microscopic (histological) level;
• All detailed information regarding the development of the digestive system;
• The ability to identify the structures comprising the digestive system anatomically and histologically and to explain their functions using knowledge of physiology and biochemistry;
• At the molecular level, the biochemistry of digestion and the metabolism of various organic compounds;
• The digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, as well as the formation, secretion, and composition of bile.
