Mastering the Principles of Gastrointestinal Physiology

Delve into the fundamental principles that govern the GI system's operation. Discover the essential roles of motility, secretion, and absorption in nutrient delivery and waste disposal.

Motility: Witness the coordinated contractions and relaxations of the GI muscles, propelling food and waste along the digestive pathway.
Secretion: Explore the diverse glands and cells that line the GI tract, producing enzymes, hormones, and mucus to aid in digestion and protection.
Absorption: Understand the mechanisms by which the small intestine absorbs essential nutrients from digested food, delivering them to the bloodstream.

Navigating the Mechanisms of Regulation

Unravel the intricate web of hormones, nerves, and reflexes that orchestrate the seamless functioning of the GI system. Discover how external stimuli and internal feedback loops maintain homeostasis within the digestive tract.
