Course/Module description:
The digestive system is one of the most complex systems in the human body. In this course the students will learn about the structure and function of the digestive system. In addition, the students will learn about cutting edge subjects such as the oral cavity and gut microbiome. The course consists of frontal lectures, problem based learning, self-study, classroom exercises and online content.
Course/Module aims:
The aim of the course here is instilling knowledge and skills necessary to understand the structure and activity of digestive tract in healthy person. This knowledge is essential for the understanding of pathophysiological conditions in the sick person.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Studying the digestion block allow students:
1) To understand the interaction of structure-function of the digestive system and how they serve it.
2) Understanding the complexity of the digestive system microbiome and its interaction with the human cells.
3) Interpreting the results of imaging of the digestive system using dedicated software.
4) Acquiring tool for self-learning through project-based learning (PBL).
