including those that smoke cigarettes, family members with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Jewish descent. Crohn’s disease is chronic, causing abnormal inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, affecting the end of the small intestine to the beginning of large intestine. It affects the mental and physical capacity of the individual, causing one to feel worthless and depressed because of the complications from the disease. The Crohn’s disease is classified with inflammatory bowel…

in the digestive tract include the submucosa (areolar tissue), muscularis externa (region of smooth muscle fibers), serosa that is located in the peritoneal cavity. The digestive tract includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Some accessory organs of the digestive tract include the teeth, tongue, and various glandular organs such as salivary glands, liver and the pancreas. Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body…

Introduction The gastrointestinal tract (GI) comprises of the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and the anus. Also, digestion process start from the mouth; the ingestion of food stimulate the salivary secretion (mouth), the food is chewed before its passage through the esophagus down to the stomach where mechanical and chemical digestion takes place. Pepsinogen from the chief cells helps with the digestion of protein, amylase from the saliva and…

amino acids2. Finally, Creon will take any starches and will do the same thing; catalyze the hydrolysis of the starch into dextrins and other short-chain sugars2. All of the catalyzation of these molecules takes place in the duodenum and proximal small intestine, simulating the digestive enzymes that would be physiologically…

Crohn’s disease is a relapsing inflammatory bowel disease that primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract, the lower part of the digestive system. The gastrointestinal tract is a pathway of many similarly hollow organs joined in a long twisting road connecting the stomach to the anus. The contractions of muscles in the GI tract helps in the digestion of food and with the production of many different hormones and enzymes. Crohn’s disease is a fatal disease caused by the inflammation of your…

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a series of hollow organs that begins at mouth and extends to the anus. These hollow organs are the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. The accessory organs are the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The same organs are found in the fetal pig as well. The pharynx, also known as the throat, is a muscular tunnel that extends from the nose to the esophagus. It serves…

There is a myth that states gum will stay in the human stomach for 7 years after being swallowed. However, studies have shown that this is in fact incorrect. Gum is very digestible and isn’t hard to break apart in the stomach unless consumed in very large quantities due to its sticky texture. In many incidents, swallowed gum passes through the digestive system as well as any other food. When somebody swallows gum the material is first taken down the esophagus (the first mushed food is called…

inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation of the digestive, or gastrointestinal tract. In fact, Crohn’s can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, but it is more commonly found at the end of the small intestine called the ileum. The most common symptoms of Crohn’s diseases are diarrhea, cramping and pain in your abdomen, and weight loss. Your digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract also called the digestive…

kind of animal uses the mouth opening, and often teeth, to acquire the food regardless of what stage—live, raw, cooked, etc.—and introduce it to the digestive tract. Almost all animals have a small and large intestine, wherein the separation and absorption of nutrients occurs. At the end of the small intestine the caecum is found in almost every mammal, although the size among types of eaters varies. The un-digestible waste travels through the bowels and exits from the anus as feces. Because…

The digestive system consists of the oral cavity, oesophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, spleen, pancreas,intestines, appendix and the rectum. All these organs interlink in order to carry out an environment of homeostasis. Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium inside the body as stated in the Journal of Nursing Standards (Hendry C 2012 page (46-50)).A further consideration is that of legal and ethical concerns within practice. The first part of the digestive system is the oral cavity and…
