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

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.
