Presentation
Digestive System (inyegrative study of the structure and function): anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry and biophysics; changes related to pathologies (including genetic, congenital and environmental diseases) and pharmacological aspects.
Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Provide the student with the knowledge to understand the functioning of the digestive system, namely knowing the different organs of the digestive tract (digestive tract and digestive glands), in an integrated perspective, in terms of its anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry and biophysics; know the main physiological processes related to digestion and absorption and nutrients and understand the mechanisms of metabolic regulation of the body. They should also integrate the knowledge learned with the pathophysiology of some of the most common diseases that affect the digestive tract and glands.
Contents
1. DIGESTIVE TRACT
1.1 Anatomy, histology and physiology of the digestive tract.
1.2 Main related physiological processes, namely swallowing, gastric secretion, pancreatic secretion, biliary secretion, digestion and absorption and intestinal motility.
2. DIGESTIVE GLANDS
2.1 Anatomy, histology and physiology of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and salivary glands.
2.2 Hepatic metabolism: structure and composition of biomembranes, absorption and transport mechanisms through biomembranes and the hepatic metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.
2.3 Pancreatic metabolism: the exocrine pancreas and the endocrine pancreas.
2.4 Salivary glands. Salivary flow and saliva functions.
3. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF SOME DISEASES AFFECTING THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND METABOLISM
3.1 Gastro-esophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer
3.2 Diarrhea and inflammatory bowel disease
3.3 Cirrhosis and liver failure
3.4 Pancreatitis
3.5 Diabetes mellitus
3.6 Obesity

Teaching Methods
Classes T, TP, S, OT:
T, TP and S given by expository method with slide and/or film projection
T for teaching syllabus
TP for description of medical practice in which students participate in the discussion or presentation of topics
S integrators and illustrative of the matter by guest lecturers
TO for clarification of doubts and support for carrying out the work
TP and S are mandatory (75% attendance)
The evaluation is done by a final exam (theoretical and written) that covers all the contents of the UC with a single test (80%) + Work presentation (20%)
