Objectives of the Course

To teach dentistry students the basic structure and functioning of the human body, and to provide them with a solid anatomical foundation on which to build clinical knowledge. To provide dentistry students with basic information on the circulatory, digestive, urinary, genital and endocrine systems, as well as cross-sectional and topographic anatomy; to help them understand the structures of these systems, their relationships with each other and their clinical importance. In addition, with the cross-sectional and topographic approach, it is aimed to develop students' knowledge of regional anatomy.

Course Content

An introduction to medical terminology and the use of anatomical terms is provided. Based on the skeletal system, bone tissue, classification of bones and general characteristics of the skeletal system are examined. Joint structures, joint types and basic joint movements are discussed from an anatomical perspective. The structure and classification of muscle tissue and the anatomy of head and neck muscles are explained. The structure and functional relationships of the respiratory system organs (nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs) are examined. The basic anatomy of the circulatory system (heart, vessels, lymphatic structure) is evaluated. The anatomical structures and functional relationships of the digestive and accessory organs (liver, gall bladder, pancreas) are discussed. The structure, location and neighborhood relationships of the urinary and genital system organs are explained. The location of the endocrine system organs and their anatomical connections with surrounding structures are evaluated. The relationship of body structures and their clinical importance are emphasized with cross-sectional (transverse, sagittal, coronal) and topographic anatomy information.
