Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition / Week 1

Objectives

The study of the sites and specific processes for the digestion and absorption of nutrients will provide an understanding of the functional units of the gastrointestinal system (from chewing and salivation in the mouth through to fecal excretion of unabsorbed food components) and the integration of muscular and enteric nervous system in the coordination and regulation of digestive activities.
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Describe the enteral digestion, absorption and metabolism of macronutrients and micronutrients.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Describe the steps of digestion and absorption and roles of the key organs of the alimentary tract in these processes.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Upon completion of this problem, students should be able to describe the mechanism of swallowing and function of the stomach in digestion.
Global Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Upon completion of this problem, students should have an understanding of fat, carbohydrate and protein requirements as well as the processes of digestion, absorption and metabolism of these macronutrients. The relationship between diet and growth and development in early childhood should be summarized.
Global Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

The Gastroenterology concepts include the physiology and pathophysiology of digestion, absorption and metabolism of macronutrients and micronutrients, the structure and function of the hepatobiliary system, gastrointestinal tract integrity and gastrointestinal autoimmunity. Additionally, these concepts provide an introduction to understanding the common disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and the hepatobiliary system. During this Foundation you will develop an understanding of the important elements of the structure and functional relationships in the gastrointestinal tract. By the end of the Foundation, you should have an understanding of the significance of the cardinal manifestations of gastrointestinal disorders.
