Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to examine and teach the physiological structure, working mechanism, normal value limits of organ systems one by one, both theoretically and visually, in order to understand that the human organism is a complete unity, and to form the basis of other related courses that students will take during the education process.
Course Content: The course will mainly cover basic biological systems such as the circulatory system, respiratory system, nutrition and urinary system.
