751-6101-01LPhysiology and Anatomy I Information 2 credits2VW. Langhans, U. Meyer
AbstractImparts 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 chemosensory, endocrine and metabolic processes.
ObjectiveAm Ende der Lehrveranstaltung sind die Studierenden in der Lage, Probleme des Menschen im Zusammenhang insbesondere von Ernährung, Übergewicht und daraus resultierenden Erkrankungen zu verstehen.
752-6301-00LSelected Topics in Physiology Related to Nutrition Information 3 credits2VW. Langhans, U. Meyer
AbstractGives 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.
ObjectiveSome basic knowledge in physiology is recommended for this course, which revisits important physiological topics, emphasizing their relation to nutrition. The aim is to give 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. For students with a background in medicine, pharmacy or biology, the course is useful as a review of previously acquired knowledge. Major topics are basic neuroanatomy and neurophysiology; general endocrinology; the physiology of taste and smell; nutrient digestion and absorption; intermediary metabolism and energy homeostasis; and some aspects of cardiovascular physiology and water balance.
