Muscle and Nervous Tissue

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1) Defines the structure and function of muscle and nervous tissue proteins and explain their metabolism.
2) Explains anatomic structures of nervous system and functional relations between them.
3) Recognizes structural members of both systems; to observe striated, smooth, and cardiac muscles and other members of above-mentioned systems under microscope.
4) Explains the organization and function of the autonomic nervous system.
5) Knows the structure of the neuromuscular junction; Explains the structural and functional properties of skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, as well as their excitation and contraction mechanisms.
6) Explains the transportation of water and substance through membrane, the resting potential, the action potential, communication between cells, neurotransmitters and second messengers.
7) Understands the health, illness, cultural features, roles of the patient, the patient relative and the healthcare provider, and social aspect of medicine.
8) identifies the stimulation and contraction processes of a neuron (resting potential, action potential, conduction of action potential, synaptic transmission, neurotransmitters).
9) Explains the structure of the neuromuscular junction, the excitation-contraction mechanisms of muscle tissue, and the differences between muscle types.
10) Comprehends the excitation and conduction properties of sensory nerve cells and the structure and function of the autonomic nervous system.
11) Evaluates their abilities and competencies within the scope of career planning, sets the right goals and contributes lifelong self-development.
12) Gains the necessary language proficiency to follow the current literature and communicate with foreign colleagues.
