Document Summary
From a knowledge of the normal structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract, the student will be able to explain the basic pathological processes illustrated in the diseases discussed in class. From knowledge of these pathological processes, the student will be able to deduce the signs and symptoms, complications, and possible consequences of these diseases. See in particular, esophagus: esophageal tumours, p. 562-564 (see also barrett esophagus, p. 561-562); 600, in particular adenomas, p. 593-595 and adenocarcinoma, p. 596-600. The gut is a hollow tube connecting the mouth and anus. It is composed (in order) of the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, and large bowel. The small bowel has three parts: duodenum, jejunum, ileum. The large bowel can be subdivided into several parts (in order): cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum. Muscular valves help control the movement of food and bowel contents.
