BMS 140 Pharmacology (3-0-0)
The course deals with the interactions of drugs with living systems and their use in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. It includes the drugs’ mechanisms of action, side effects, indications, contraindications, and some of their interactions.
The course introduces human morphology at the cell, tissue, organ, and system levels of organization. The course is taught through theoretical lectures and practical demonstrations.
The course is taught through lectures and practical demonstrations, introducing human morphology at the cellular, tissue, and organ system levels of organization. It is devoted to a detailed study of the structure of the different body systems and anatomical positions.
This course provides nursing students with a comprehensive understanding of human physiology, encompassing cellular, tissue, and organ-level processes. Topics include neurophysiology, cardiovascular dynamics, respiratory mechanisms, renal function, endocrine regulation, and metabolic pathways. Through lectures and case studies, students will develop critical thinking skills essential for nursing practice. Emphasis is placed on real-world applications, preparing students to recognize physiological indicators of health and illness in diverse healthcare settings.
The course provides students with a basic understanding of human anatomy. It is divided into five principal areas and will be taught through lectures and practical demonstrations covering the following topics: organization of the human body, support and movement systems, control systems, maintenance, and continuity. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on how the structures of different body systems are regulated, related, and interrelated.
The course covers the mechanisms of circulation, respiration, digestion, urine production, reproductive systems, sexual development, and basic concepts of genetics.
The course covers the following topics: the meaning of statistics and statistical inference, random variables, expectations and covariance, sampling and types of distributions, testing hypotheses with an emphasis on paired samples, correlation and non-parametric techniques, and decision-making with applications in Medicine and Biology.
The course provides a broad introduction to psychology, defined as “the scientific study of behavior and ways of thinking”. Empirical studies and theoretical models of fundamental processes, including learning, memory, perception, sensation, and motivation, are covered. The course also focuses on personality development and evaluation, as well as situational factors that influence people’s behavior.

The course introduces basic biochemistry. Topics include vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and the action of water on the body system. Regular and therapeutic nutrition is discussed within the framework of the nursing process. The role of nutrition in promoting wellness and facilitating reconstitution is emphasized. Nutritional care of clients with abnormal reactions to a single or multiple stressors, and nutritional education of individuals, families, and communities, are also covered
