Digestive System and Metabolism

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1) Knows the mechanisms, regulation and effective factors related to digestion and metabolism.
2) Explains the storage, digestion and movement roles of the stomach.
3) Knows gastrointestinal motility, secretion, digestion and absorption functions
4) Knows the processes of ingestion, digestion, absorption, secretion and excretion of the main nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats); knows the location of the gastrointestinal tract where each process takes place.
5) Knows the physiology of liver and bile: Explains how liver blood flow and liver structure affect liver functions.
6) Comprehends the function, metabolism and clinical importance of amino acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleotides and minerals.
7) Defines nutrient intake, regulation of intake and energy metabolism.
8) Establishes the relationship between gastrointestinal diseases and basic mechanisms
9) Knows the main components secreted by the exocrine pancreas and the main cell types in this secretion. Knows the relationship between blood glucose concentrations and insulin secretion. Explain the control of glucagon secretion.
10) Comprehends the regulation of body temperature: Defines thermal balance diagrams for the body, including heat production (metabolism, exercise, shivering) and heat loss (convection, conduction, radiation and evaporation).
11) Knows the basic concepts and information about the normal development and anatomy, microscopic structure and functions of the oral cavity, tongue, teeth and supporting tissues, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, small and large intestines.
12) Knows learn the anomalies and basic functional disorders of the digestive system.
13) Gets an idea about the use of advanced technology in the field of medicine and recognizes, interprets and suggests solutions to ethical problems that arise with the use of advanced technology.
14) Gains awareness about the interaction between environment and health.
15) Develops and uses critical thinking skills to respond and act ethically by analyzing high-tech issues.
16) Writes clearly and persuasively to convey scientific ideas clearly.
17) Applies intravenous injection with CSL studies.
18) Says the definition of evidence-based medicine, counts the components of evidence-based medicine, creates an answerable clinical question, and counts the types of research that are suitable for the answer to an answerable clinical question.
19) Relates clinical correlation courses and basic medicine courses with clinical conditions of the digestive system and systemic effects.
20) Follows up-to-date literature and gains the necessary language proficiency to communicate with foreign colleagues.
