Course Objectives:
• To develop an understanding of the role of the endocrine system in maintaining homeostasis and health.
• To understand the integrative workings of the human body by studying this signaling systemsOn completion of the course, students will be able to
CO1 Explain the roles of the endocrine system in maintaining homeostasis, integrating growth and development,
responding to environmental insults and promoting successful reproduction
CO2 Investigate how the secretion of hormones is regulated, including the principles of negative and positive
feedback mechanisms
CO3 Apply endocrinological principles to determine the pathophysiological basis and consequences of specific
endocrine disorders
CO4 Understand the role of tumor markers for diagnosis, management and therapeutic selection.
CO5 Correlate the presence of a tumor marker with its associated affected organ system
CO6 Differentiate between carbohydrate-rich tumor markers, protein-rich tumor markers, enzymatic tumor markers,
and oncofetal antigens
