Amylase

Patient F.C. physical exam presents with a male whose general appearance resembles his stated age. He appears ill with noted restlessness, sweating profusely and in acute pain (being bent forward on the exam table). His vital signs are abnormal with a low B/P of 85/60, elevated HR of 120, elevated respiratory rate of 35 and a temperature of 101.4. His weight is 154 lbs and a height of 5’ 7.5”; BMI is normal at 23.8. Patient is awake and oriented to person, place and time; able to follow…

The body and roles of the organ systems are interlinked; together they work in maintaining homeostasis. In the event of arduous or prolonged exercise, such as running a marathon. The body’s systems such as the, digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory and circulatory, must work together to meet the demands placed upon the runner’s body. Firstly, the process of the digestive system can be broken down into four sections, ingestion, digestion, absorption and assimilation (Toole, Toole and Toole,…

as they have no practical use in this bio-ethanol production process. After extraction, the starch-water slurry will be fed into a starch hydrolysis unit. Although not considered in detail, the hydrolysis unit involves the addition of ***** of α-amylase. This enzyme is used to catalyze the hydrolysis reaction, which will help produce…

carbohydrates, etc.) are processed by each of these substances? • In each segment of the digestive tract there are different substance like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and lipids that are present. There are also different types of enzymes present like amylase, and lipase that are secreted by cells that are found in the digestive tract. Chicken has mainly protein that is processed, and rice mainly has…

All mammals digest food through a similar system- even if there are specializations that have developed over time in adaptation for the diet of each animal. Each 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…

level by an enzyme in saliva known as Alpha Amylase. Those with higher levels indicated more stress and were twice as likely to not get pregnant within 12 months. In a study done with 501 couples with no prior infertility problems, saliva samples were taken twice: Once on their first day there and once after their first menstrual period. Results showed that 347 out of 401 couples who completed the study became pregnant. Those with higher Alpha Amylase were 29% less likely to become pregnant.…

the literature shows that CT findings are variable, ranging from relatively normal[13] to showing evidence of common bile duct dilatation[14]. In our case, the CT scan of abdomen revealed normal pancreas even though biochemical markers like serum amylase and lipase were significantly higher. A common feature among patients with EG-related pancreatitis is peripheral eosinophilia[15]. Corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment of eosinophilic…

Cassava starch can be changed over promptly to ethyl liquor in a two stage prepare including the hydrolysis of starch slurry into glucose by liquefaction so that dextrin and along these lines fermentable sugar can be acquired. The glucose arrangement is weakened and changed over to ethyl liquor by the anaerobic activity of yeast, ethanol of 95.6% w/w turns out through parchedness which is concentrated to 99.5% w/w (Ramasamy and Paramasamy, 2001; Kosugi et al., 2009). In this manner cassava-based…

Salivary enzyme amylase initiates the breakdown of starches into maltose (Sadava, D et al., 2008). As food travels through the esophagus down to the stomach, no significant digestion of carbohydrates takes place. The acidic environment in our stomach impedes the action of the amylase enzyme. The next step of carbohydrate digestion takes place in the duodenum. Chyme (pulpy acidic fluid) from the stomach…

How periodontal disease enters the body In both humans and dogs, periodontal disease is an overlooked but serious condition. Periodontal disease is caused by oral bacteria present in the mouth that forms plaque, a filmy substance on the teeth. When exposed to minerals in saliva and allowed to settle, the plaque mineralizes over a period of two to three days and hardens into a thick calculus on the teeth. The presence of starchy particles in the mouth creates an ideal breeding environment and…
