Tells the structural properties of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland and endocrine pancreas. Distinguishes pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands and endocrine pancreas under light microscope. Knows the structural properties of the male reproductive system. Knows the structural properties of the female reproductive system. Identifies the reproductive system organs at the light microscopic level. Searches about the course issue using up-to-date sources and tells efficiently using oral-visual methods. Mode of Delivery : Face-to-Face Prerequisites and Co-Prerequisites : None Recommended Optional Programme Components : None Aim(s) of Course : Aim of this course is to make the students gain the knowledge about the histological features of the structures and the organs which constitute the neuroendocrin and reproductive systems and distinguish them at light microscopic level.
