Speaker 3: Anatomy of GI Tract
Summary
This on-demand teaching session is designed to give medical professionals an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including digestion and absorption in the upper and lower GI. Attendees will learn about the hormones and enzymes involved in digestion, the different phases of digestion, the components of the GI tract, the peritoneal cavity, the Major Peritoneal Folds, and much more. Questions will be answered throughout the session to ensure full comprehension and clarity. All medical professionals are urged to attend for a comprehensive and insightful learning experience.
Learning objectives
Learning Objectives for the Teaching Session Aimed at a Medical Audience:
- List the anatomy and functions of the abdominal wall, including the rectus sheath, transversalis fascia, deep and superficial inguinal rings, and inguinal hernia.
- Describe the pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of inguinal hernias.
- Compare the anatomy, physiology, and functions of the liver, pancreas, and intestines.
- Describe the different phases of digestion, absorption, and metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
- Explain the hormones involved in the fed and fasted states, and how they influence hunger, satiety, and the regulation of blood glucose levels.
