In this course, the basic physiological systems, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, blood and excretory system working mechanisms will be discussed in detail separately. In addition, their interaction and coordinated work with each other on the basis of ensuring body homeostasis will be studied, including possible pathologies.

This course is non-credit and aims to increase scientific interaction between students and improve students’ presentation skills by ensuring the participation of students from all interdisciplinary programs. The seminar course, which consists of the presentation of the studies and research conducted in front of the community within the framework of the techniques determined with the guidance of the advisor and the question and answer section, is graded periodically as S/U by the program coordinators. The course must be taken at least once and completed successfully within the framework of Council of Higher Education rules. Program-specific rules are determined by program coordinators and shared with students.

An introduction to important topics in biostatistical concepts and reasoning. Tools for describing central tendency and variability in data; methods for performing inference on population means and proportions via sample data; statistical hypothesis testing and its application to group comparisons. Several statistical methods such as linear regression, ANOVA, logistic regression, survival analysis, nonparametric methods, ROC analysis that are commonly used to study biological problems. In-lab practices on computers and software for statistical analysis, to provide students with the skills to generate, read and interpret the results in their fields of study.

Program-Specific Elective Courses
Kredi:3
Research methodology including epidemiology and biostatistics. Development of scientific hypothesis, study design, data collection and management, descriptive and analytic statistics, correlation, multivariate analysis, and meta-analysis. Methodology in preparing scientific publications.
Kredi: 3
The methods used to investigate semi-automatic systems. In the experimental section, the methods selected during discussions will be used. Using this method the receptors contributing to either chewing or walking will be investigated.

Main objective of this course is to teach the role of the endocrine system in controlling all systems of the body, with coordination with the nervous system. The similarities and the differences between the nervous and the endocrine systems with regard to the control of homeostasis will be analyzed. This class will focus on glandular secretions, the major endocrine glands and hormone-producing tissues and how their hormones govern body activities, metabolism and energy balance, control growth and development, and regulate operation of reproductive systems. This class aims to give an essential basic knowledge of endocrine physiology. On completion of this course the students will be aware of the effect of each hormone on its targeted tissue. The students will be able to explain negative and positive feedback mechanisms of hormones.
Kredi: 3
The main objective of this course is to teach the basic functions of the gastrointestinal system and physiological processes of digestion and absorption of nutrients with coordination with the endocrine and nervous system. The course is mainly focused on the structure and innervation of the gastrointestinal tract, functional regulation of gastrointestinal motility, secretion, digestion, and absorption, along with liver physiology. The maintenance of homeostasis in the gastrointestinal system will be discussed.
Kredi: 3
The main objective of this course is to teach the experimental animal models in physiology. The basic knowledge on using appropriate animal models will be given in order to explain the physiological mechanisms, along with certain disorders/diseases, including neurodegeneration, hypertension, sepsis, diabetes, kidney failure, etc. The importance of animal models to explore the mechanisms in the body systems and to develop treatment protocols for in disease models will be focused on.
Kredi: 3
This course aims to overview technologies used in neurophysiology. Milestone research with clinical significance will be selected with instructor’s guidance. Majority of the technologies that we will study will be related to the electromagnetic domain.
Kredi: 3
The physiological limits and regulation mechanisms of human body in extreme conditions. Basic physiological changes and adaptation mechanisms and their relations to increased/decreased physical challenges out of the body. overview of human physiology and extreme conditions. History of physiology for extreme environments and limits of human body. Exercise Physiology. Pressure, hot, cold. Low gravity. High G effects. Extreme sports. Real cases and scenerios.

This course is a special course given by the student’s advisor for the student’s thesis work. The PhD students who enrolled with a BS degree can count 2 Independent Study course credits, and the PhD students who enrolled with an MS degree and MS students can count 1 Independent Study course credit during the education period. The important thing is that the Independent Study course names and contents that you take must be different to count the credits.
