At the end of this course, the students; 1) To discuss the morphological structure of the components of musculoskeletal system such as bones, joints, and muscles, their relationship with each other, their vasculature and innervations regarding possible lesions, 2) To be able to explain the the physiological properties of muscle types, synaptic and peripheral nervous neurotransmission and also to discuss the mechanism related to muscle contraction, neurotransmission and reflexes, 3) To be able to describe the basic biochemical mechanisms related to muscular contraction related to resting and exercising states

COURSE DEFINITION
This course reviews the basic principles related to anatomy, histology-embryology, physiology and biochemistry of musculoskeletal system
COURSE CONTENTS
The main objectives of the course are to familiarize students with morphological structure, the innervation and vascularization of musculoskeletal system, to help students to understand the functional components of musculoskeletal system in relation to neuromuscular junction and excitation-contraction coupling and to emphasize the influence of basic biochemical mechanisms and their interactions on the movement phenomena.
