About Course

In general, universities do not consider the diversity of backgrounds among students, as in students come from different countries with different levels of knowledge.

This course aims to close the readiness gap between high school and university, as it covers the common ground for medical field topics such as (Physiology, Anatomy, Biochemistry, Medical Biology & Genetics and Histology & pathology) which are a prerequisite for all medical specialties.

This course not only covers the content needed for further studies but also introduces the different ways in which knowledge is presented at the university level to ensure an easy entry to a new medical degree program.

Course Content

Physiology
In this topic, we will delve into several key aspects of physiology. We will begin with an introduction to physiology, exploring its definition and significance in understanding the functions and mechanisms within living organisms. Next, we will examine the levels of organization in the human body, from cells to tissues, organs, and organ systems, highlighting how each level contributes to overall function. We will then discuss the fundamental characteristics of life, such as growth, reproduction, metabolism, and responsiveness, which are essential for survival. The concept of homeostasis will be explored, focusing on how the body maintains a stable internal environment through various feedback mechanisms. Finally, we will look into cell anatomy, detailing the structure and function of cells, which are the basic building blocks of life.

Medical Biology & Genetics
In this topic, we will explore Medical Biology and Genetics, beginning with an introduction and key definitions to establish a foundational understanding. We will differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, emphasizing their structural and functional differences. The discussion will then focus on the nucleus and its crucial roles, along with the structure and functions of DNA and RNA, the molecules responsible for genetic information and protein synthesis. Finally, we will examine various areas of Medical Biology, highlighting how genetic research and medical biology contribute to understanding diseases, developing treatments, and advancing healthcare.

Biochemistry
Biochemistry, is the study of the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. This field focuses on the structure and function of biomolecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, which are essential for life. Key areas of biochemistry also include metabolism, encompassing both anabolic (building up) and catabolic (breaking down) processes. The scope and applications of biochemistry are vast, impacting areas such as medicine, nutrition, and biotechnology, thereby enhancing our understanding of health and disease at a molecular level.

Anatomy
Anatomy is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts. It begins with an introduction to its importance in understanding the human body. This study encompasses various levels of organization, from cells to tissues, organs, and entire body systems. Understanding the different tissue types, such as epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues, is fundamental. The body's systems, including the circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems, are examined in detail. Anatomical terminology provides the necessary language for accurately describing body structures and functions. Additionally, sections and planes are used to divide the body for study, while body cavities and membranes are explored to understand how organs are housed and protected within the body.

Histology
Histology and Pathology are essential fields in understanding the microscopic structure and function of tissues and the changes they undergo in disease. This topic begins with an introduction to both disciplines. It covers the use of light and electron microscopes, which are vital tools for observing microscopic details. Techniques for microscopic measurements and the application of various stains to differentiate tissue components are also discussed. The four basic types of tissues—epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues—are explored in detail. Additionally, the study delves into the structure and function of cells and their organelles, providing a comprehensive understanding of how tissues are formed and how they function in health and disease.
