LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT At the end of this course, the students;
1) To be able to recognize the bones and cavities related with nervous system
2) To be able to discuss discus the morphological structure of the central nervous system, its vascularisation, and the pathways. They should also be able to discuss the lesions of the central nervous system related with physiology.
3) To be able to recognize structural features of sensorial and motor nervous system and evaluate their role in the functional level.
4) To be able to interpret the physiological events from the biophysical point of view
5) To be able to interpret sensory and motor functions of the central nervous system and to perform associated physical examination methods and also to discuss physiological mechanisms of special senses.
6) To be able to recognize and evaluate structural features of cells, tissues and organs belonging to endocrine system. Their role in the human body, to distinguish the cells, tissues and organs of this system by self-examination under light microscope and to be able to presume and correlate the reasons of abnormal development of these systems and the underlying mechanisms knowing the basic elements of normal development

COURSE DEFINITIONThis course reviews the basic principles related to anatomy, histology-embryology, physiology, biochemistry and biophysics of nervous and endocrine system.
COURSE CONTENTSThe main objectives of the course are to familiarize students with the morphology of the central nervous systems and organs of special sense and especially with the nervous pathways and their lesions, to help students to understand basic concepts and approaches in nervous system physiology and the development and histology of nervous systems and microscopic structure of the organs of special senses like eye and ear and to describe the basic concepts and approaches of biophysical events related with nervous system to help them to develop an understanding of related biophysical issues and to explain basic concepts of the neurological disorders.
