UNOFFICIAL GUIDE<br />
GI:<br />
Dr. Greenwood-Van Meerveld teaches this section <strong>of</strong> the course. She is very<br />
friendly, approachable, and loves <strong>to</strong> teach. Her syllabus is pretty well-written and<br />
her lectures are worth going <strong>to</strong> just <strong>to</strong> hear her accent. GI is one area in phys<br />
where straight up memorization is the way <strong>to</strong> go. <strong>The</strong> difficult thing is figuring<br />
out what <strong>to</strong> memorize. Once again, I would suggest making a table similar <strong>to</strong> the<br />
one for the endocrine system, replacing the general hormones with GI hormones<br />
and enzymes. You might want <strong>to</strong> make another table depicting how various<br />
nutrients are digested, transported, and absorbed in different parts <strong>of</strong> the GI<br />
tract. It is also important <strong>to</strong> understand the various reflexes involved in<br />
digestion. Dr. Greenwood loves the neural innervation <strong>of</strong> the gut, so know these<br />
aspects thoroughly.<br />
Also, know exactly what causes movement throughout the entire GI system<br />
whether it be neural, endocrine, both, etc. Also make sure you understand the<br />
different hormones, where they are secreted from, their targets, their stimulus for<br />
release, and their potentiating affects on other hormones. Dr. Greenwood’s<br />
test questions were considered by some <strong>to</strong> be ambiguous and <strong>to</strong> others they were<br />
fine. She asked several questions that were not in her power points or syllabus,<br />
and only vaguely mentioned in class. If you know and understand the material you<br />
will be fine. Remember, for this sections small details count!<br />

Looking at a student in medical school is like looking at a<br />
tree in the wintertime. “
