uitableviewcontroller

I am following the BigNerdRanch iOS Programming book and I am on this one chapter that deals with UITableViewController. I have been wondering however where UITableViewController finds out about its delegate and dataSource. Currently I have it as

@interface ItemsViewController : UITableViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>

But there is nothing that looks like:

[self.tableView setDelegate:self]

I am just wondering how the UITableViewController finds out about its delegate and dataSource
