General Histology is a fundamental medical science that examines the microscopic structure and organization of cells, tissues, and organ systems. This course covers fundamental topics such as the structural characteristics of the cell, the cell membrane and surface modifications, cytoplasmic organelles, the nucleus, and the cell cycle. Additionally, the structural and functional characteristics of epithelial tissue, connective tissue, cartilage, bone, blood, and muscle tissues, as well as nervous tissue, are examined in detail.

The General Embryology course covers human development from fertilization to birth. Gametogenesis, fertilization, cleavage, blastogenesis, implantation, gastrulation, neurulation, and organogenesis are examined at morphological and molecular levels. Development of cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urogenital, and nervous systems is discussed. The embryological basis of congenital anomalies and teratogenic factors are also evaluated. The course aims to develop students? ability to analyze developmental processes.

Üreme fizyolojisi ve hormonal regülasyon mekanizmalarının anlaşılması, infertilite nedenlerinin değrlendirilmesi ve yardımcı üreme tekniklerinin temel bilimsel altyapısının kavranması açısından gereklidir.

This course addresses ethical principles and values in medical practice, patient rights, physician responsibilities, and especially the ethical issues encountered in the fields of reproductive medicine and embryology. Ethical decision-making processes are discussed in the context of assisted reproductive technologies, genetic interventions, embryo research, and infertility treatments.

Assisted Reproductive Techniques play an important role in the treatment of infertile people. Most of these procedures are performed in embryology laboratories. Sperm counting and preparation in Andrology laboratory, fertilization, embryo monitoring and embryo selection procedures in embryology laboratory are performed. The aim of this course is to teach the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills necessary for this process.
