Name of the course:
Immunology for 3rd year Medical Students
Aims of the course:
OBJECTIVES
• List the principal cells and tissues of the immune system.
• Summarize the main differences between innate and adaptive immunity.
• Describe how lymphocytes respond to foreign antigens.
• Describe how humoral and cell-mediated immune responses are induced by microbes and
other foreign substances.
3rd stage medical students will take theoretical lectures on the surgery, followed by practical application of what they learn inside the teaching hospital.
They will take introduction to surgery, metabolic response of human body to trauma. Then surgical infection & antibiotic used, fluid electrolyts disturbances with their management. Then shock, bleeding & their types and how to manage shock, trauma and basic/advances trauma life support. then skin incisions, suture materials. Later, they will study surgery of the tropical area, burn & its management, principles of transplantation finally they will study the ways of disinfections inside the hospitals.

Pharmacology is a branch of medicine, biology, and pharmaceutical sciences concerned with drug or medication action,[1] where a drug may be defined as any artificial, natural, or endogenous (from within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism (sometimes the word pharmacon is used as a term to encompass these endogenous and exogenous bioactive species). More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals.
