Course content
In the course "Physiology of Nutrition and Digestion", which consists of two modules, the organs of the digestive system and their functions are considered in a single dialectical unity. Physiological processes that are covered within the discipline are studied at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and organ systems levels. The material of the first module is devoted to the peculiarities of the digestive system, secretory and motor-evacuation functions. The second module of the course reveals the secretory and motor-evacuatory function of the proximal digestive tract. The acquired knowledge can be used by students not only in the educational process, but also during scientific activities in the field of related and interdisciplinary sciences.
