Aims and Objectives of the Course
This course consists of three main topics: heart and vascular system, homeostasis, lungs and
respiratory system. The development, morphology and the functional aspect of the heart is
presented. It is designed to teach the student the normal structures and functions of respiratory,
circulatory, hematopoetic systems, interactions between these systems at the level of cell,
tissue and organ. Cardiac markers and clinical correlation are emphasised. Every tissue or
organ requires adequate amounts of blood for its function. Blood, presented to the peripheral
tissue by regular pumping of heart, is directly in contact with the tissue through capillary
blood vessel wall and it provides tissues with oxygen from lungs and nutritional factors from
gastrointestinal system. Finally respiratory system histology, mechanism, regulation, which
includes mechanism of exchange of gases at the lungs and tissue cells, blood gases and pH
measurement, and respiratory disorders are introduced. The practical medical skills
application features developing empathy skills with patients via simulating various levels of
functional loss.
Course contents
The teaching subjects of this course are classified under eight main themes. These
consecutive themes are organized according to the chain of events from oxygen supply to the
body to carbon dioxide drainage as follows:
1- Respiratory Apparatus
2- Breathing
3- Gase exchange in alveoli
4- Blood and blood oxygen
5- Heart and big vessels
6- Peripheral circulation and homeostasis
7- Maintenance of arterial tension
8- Acid-base balance
At least one integrated session is planned for each theme. The theoretical knowledge loaded
during the course is interrelated to clinical sciences. The daily course program includes 45minute lectures and/or laboratory and demonstration facilities.
Assessment Methods
Quizzes, and aptitude tests during the course and, practical exams of one each laboratory
practices and one written exam at the end of the course are performed.
