This module imparts basic knowledge about the morphology and function of the digestive system and the importance of nutrition for health. One focus is on the understanding of the relationships among food intake, digestion, nutrient absorption and metabolism including the disturbances of these processes and the related diseases.

Gives the students background knowledge necessary for a basic understanding of the complex relationships between food composition and nutrition on one hand and the functioning, as well as the malfunctioning, of major organ systems on the other hand.

Imparts a basic understanding of physiology and anatomy in man and domestic animals, focusing on the interrelations between morphology and function of the human organism. This is fostered by discussing all subjects from a functional point of view. A major topic of the lecture is food intake and digestion with its correlated endocrine and metabolic processes.

Introduction to the basic knowledge necessary for an understanding of the physiology and pathology of hunger, satiation, satiety, and body weight regulation, how this knowledge is generated, and how it helps improve nutritional advice for healthy people as well as nutritional guidelines for patients.

The students will learn the conceptual and methodological background of research in the animal science groups of the Institute of Plant, Animal and Agroecosystem Science. In addition to teaching the theoretical background, the major aim of the course is to integrate the students into the research groups (on job training) and, hence, to focus on the practical application of the knowledge.
