On the other hand, the teaching gives methodology information concerning the study of this system. The teaching concerns all organs of the GIT. Some lessons give modern information regarding experimental models used for GIT studies. Intestinal immunity is introduced without limitation to specific immunity and underlining the existing relations between the immunity and the digestive function. Several gastrointestinal peptides are presented from their synthesis to their known effects. The bacterial flora is considered in the teaching and the methods used for their characterization are described. The teaching describes the development of the GIT (prenatal, postnatal, senescence). Basic information regarding nutrition are included in the teaching. | |||||
