Course objectiveThis course provides knowledge, skills, and competence in therapeutic measures, applications, and preventive measures in health care by using up-to-date information on the changes that occur in cells and organs of diseases and the changes in total body functions of these changes, the mechanisms underlying the disease process. 
Learning outcomes
  1. 1. Explains the changes caused by diseases in the function of cells and organs and current explanations about the underlying mechanisms.
  2. 2. Explains the current information about the changes caused by diseases in total body function.
  3. 3. Explains the current information about the mechanisms caused by diseases, and the information about the treatment, care, and preventive measures of diseases.
  4. 4. Explains the concepts and principles that are the basis of current and scientific knowledge in nursing care.
Course ContentThe course includes topics such as the definitions (Disease, morphology, etiology, epidemiology, histology and etc.), homeostasis, liquid electrolyte, and acid-base balance disorders, cell structure and functions, organelles and their functions, tissue types, genetic control of cell functions and heredity, transport through the cell membrane, membrane potentials, transport types, stress, injury and cell response to aging, adaptation, inflammation (acute and chronic inflammation), inflammatory response and fever (termo-regulation), cell proliferation, tissue regeneration and repair, genetic control of cell functions and heredity, neoplasia, carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism and disorders.
