Course Content

The curriculum consists of compulsory core courses (Anatomy, Physiology, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Microbiology, Histology and Embryology, Biophysics, Medical Practice, Evidence-Based Medicine, Community-Based Medicine) and elective courses. Theoretical courses are taught in lecture halls with full attendance. Practical sessions are held in the Anatomy Model Room and Basic Medical Sciences Laboratories.

Objectives of the Course

In the course board; • The development of the structures of the digestive system • Elements of the immune system, formation and functioning of immune response, defense against infectious agents, immune response against tissues and hypersensitivity reactions • Basic information about the structural and functional properties of blood and blood cells and the structures that make up the circulatory system at the microscopic (histological) level • All detailed information about the development of the digestive system • To be able to describe the structures that make up the digestive system anatomically and histologically and to explain their functions with physiology and biochemistry information • At the molecular level, the biochemistry of digestion and the metabolism of various organic compounds • It is aimed to teach the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, the formation, secretion and content of bile.
