Objectives of the Course
To provide the information about general and cellular organization of Nervous system, firing and conduction of an action potential in excitable cells and contraction mechanisms in skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle cells.
Name of Lecturer(s)
Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Elif DOĞAN
Learning Outcomes
1Describe the mechanisms of arousal-contraction and relaxation in the skeleton, Smoot muscle may explain the stimulation-contraction and relaxation mechanisms Describe the mechanisms of cardiac muscle stimulation-contraction and relaxation Describe the differences between the skeletal muscle, the stimulation between the smooth muscle and the cardiac muscle, and the contraction mechanisms,
