The organ of taste. - Esophagus, peritoneum, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, colon, rectum. - Liver, biliary tract, pancreas. - Skull, central nervous system, sensory organs generally, eye, ear.

Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• course Human Genetics for Nutritional Sciences • The students can explain basic genetic principles and mechanisms of formal genetics (Mendel's laws, segregation patterns, Hardy-Weinberg principle) and correctly apply genetic terminology • They can explain the formation and repair mechanism of mutations, principles of replication and recombination as well as basic mechanisms of gene regulation • They can explain the principles of molecular genetics, of nutrigenomics and epigentic (DNA methylation and histone modification) • They have a conceptual understanding of basic genetic problems
• Course Anatomy for Nutritional Medicince: The students will acquire the knowledge of the specific medical jargon, which enables you to engage in interdisciplinary communication. They can designate portions of the human body with technical terms, describe their location to each other properly, and explain the functional assignment for these sections. They can explain the basic features of the histology and embryology of selected organs especially the digestive tract. They are able to describe the levels of functional systems and to detect gross pathological deviations.
