Within the framework of the course "Pharmaceutical Botany I", students will be acquainted with the basics of plant anatomy, histology, and morphology. Another subject of the course is an introduction to pharmacologically important primary and secondary plant metabolites, as well as the clarification of the regulation of plant physiological processes and a brief introduction to plant taxonomy.

The credit from Pharmaceutical Botany I consists of the following study duties:
1 - continuous test: 1st part 20 questions from cytology, anatomy, morphology (minimum 12 correct answers), 2nd part 10 questions from plant biochemistry and physiology (minimum 6 correct answers) 2 - knowledge and description of 3 microscopic preparations (at least 2 must be known), 3 - 100% participation in practical classes. For the second retake attempt of a repeatedly enrolled course, the examination is conducted in a combined format before a committee of at least two members. This examination always consists of a written test and an oral component that immediately follows the written test. Last update: Maafi Negar, Ph.D. (12.10.2026)

The course Pharmaceutical Botany builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in the courses: General Biology, General and Inorganic Chemistry. After completing the course, students will be able to use the following terms (including their commonly used abbreviations) in the correct context related to the morphological, anatomical, and physiological evaluation of plants: cytology, cell wall, plastids, nucleus, mitotic apparatus, tissues (meristematic, protective, vascular, ground), root, stem, flower, fruit, seed, primary and secondary metabolism, photosynthesis, glycolysis, citric acid cycle, biosynthesis of alkaloids, isoprenoids, phenolic compounds and glycosides, phytohormones, microscopic analysis of plant tissues. Learning Outcomes Based on the acquired knowledge and skills, students will be able to:
