| Objectives of the Course |
| It is aimed to investigate the mechanisms of action of the endocrine glands in the body and the hormones they secrete. Also aims to teach the normal structure and functions of endocrine organs involved in growth, development and regulation of uremia and the mechanisms of action of hormones mediated by these functions. |
