Welcome to Part 1 of our two part series on the digestive system. The digestive system includes the GI tract and GI organs. The tract starts at the mouth and runs down the esophagus into the stomach, through the small intestine, large intestine, and finally out of the body. The GI organs include the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. In this webinar, we will go through the biology and anatomy of the system. In addition, we will cover topics that the MCAT likes to test about each section of the digestive system, such as bypass surgery, and H.pylori infections in the stomach, as well as the microbiota in the large intestine.

Testimonial

I think these webinars are really helpful! I like how they’re styled like a TED talk, so they don’t interfere with the day, but they’re really helpful review 🙂

I found everything helpful about these webinars: the explanations, the illustrations, just everything!

Amazing material conveyed concisely and in great detail!

The wealth of information and sample questions are great.

“These 30 minute FREE, live videos conducted each Friday helped me get through the pandemic. Weike is an exceptional tutor, and being able to ask questions after she’s done was magnificent. These webinars have even helped me in class subjects such as Biochemistry.  I’m looking forward to starting one-on-one tutoring with Cambridge Coaching, and I’m already feeling confident about taking the MCAT when the time comes.”
