This module examines the muscular and fascial architecture of the anterolateral abdominal wall, its blood and nerve supply, and the anatomy of the inguinal canal, including the clinical significance of inguinal hernias.

This module covers the anatomy of the peritoneum and peritoneal cavity, including the classification of abdominal organs by their peritoneal relationships and the structure of the mesenteries, ligaments, and omenta that subdivide the cavity.

This module covers the anatomy of the esophagus and stomach, including their structural divisions, blood supply, and innervation, as well as the cellular basis of gastric acid secretion and its relevance to peptic ulcer disease.

This module examines the surface anatomy, wall structure, and regional divisions of the small intestine—duodenum, jejunum, and ileum—along with its blood supply.

This module covers the anatomy of the large intestine, including its distinguishing structural features, wall histology, the cecum and appendix, and its arterial supply.

This module covers the lobar and segmental anatomy of the liver, its peritoneal relations, the anatomy of the gallbladder and biliary tree, and the vascular supply of both organs.

This module examines the anatomy and function of the pancreas and spleen, their relationship to the biliary tree, and their shared vascular supply.

This module covers the arterial supply of the gastrointestinal tract by embryological region and its venous drainage into the hepatic portal system, including the clinical significance of portal-systemic anastomoses.

This module covers the muscular, vascular, and nervous anatomy of the posterior abdominal wall, including the diaphragm, abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava, and lumbar plexus.

This module explores the physiology of the gastrointestinal system, covering the neural and hormonal control of digestion, the secretory functions of the salivary, gastric, pancreatic, and biliary systems, and the processes of digestion, absorption, and motility that move and process food through the gut.
