Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to provide comprehensive information on the biochemical mechanisms and physiological actions of the normal functioning of tissues such as connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue, bone tissue and adipose tissue.
Course Content: Describe the structure and metabolic function of epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue, bone tissue and adipose tissue, describe the biochemical function of endocrine glands, describe the structure of and types of muscle cells, describe the structure of the nerve cells-axons, cell body and dendrite, describe the synapses and the various types, define neurotransmitters and the various types, describe the neurotransmitters as component of impulse transmission, define and discuss the various classes of hormones with examples, discuss the mechanism of action of a named steroid hormone, discuss the mechanism of action of a named water soluble hormone, discuss the various importance of hormones

5) Ability to design experiments, conduct experiments, collect data, analyze and interpret results to examine engineering problems or discipline-specific research topics.
6) The ability to work effectively in disciplinary and multidisciplinary teams; individual work skill.
7) Effective communication skills in Turkish oral and written communication; at least one foreign language knowledge; ability to write effective reports and understand written reports, to prepare design and production reports, to make effective presentations, to give and receive clear and understandable instructions.
8) Awareness of the need for lifelong learning; access to knowledge, ability to follow developments in science and technology, and constant self-renewal.
9) Conform to ethical principles, and standards of professional and ethical responsibility; be informed about the standards used in engineering applications.
10) Awareness of applications in business, such as project management, risk management and change management; awareness of entrepreneurship, and innovation; information about sustainable development.
11) Information about the universal and social health, environmental and safety effects of engineering applications and the ways in which contemporary problems are reflected in the engineering field; awareness of the legal consequences of engineering solutions.
