Digestive Physiology: Glucose Metabolism and Iron Absorption

This lecture covers the correction of exercise session 6 on the digestive system, focusing on topics such as glucose metabolism, insulin production, and iron absorption. It discusses the physiological processes involved in glucose and iron handling in the body, including the impact of insulin deficiency, glucose levels, and the role of transferrin in iron transport. The lecture also addresses the mechanisms of acid secretion in the stomach, the control of pH, and the consequences of digestive disorders. Furthermore, it explores the motility of the digestive system, the movement of bolus, and the factors influencing peristalsis.
