Course objectiveExplanation of the functioning principals of physiological systems and their relations to lead criminal science students for developing a better understanding of biological organizations. 
Learning outcomes
  1. The aim of this course is to develop an understanding on functioning of the physiological systems (description of the organs and their relations, related terminology, etc.). This course is especially important to teach basic biological concepts to criminal science graduate students who do not have any biology background.
Course ContentNervous tissue and its components, functional principals of nervous tissue, functional principals of sight, functioning principals of muscle tissues, general functioning principals of the digestive system, parts of the respiratory system and their functioning principles, functioning principles of the excretory system.
