of the enzymes produced by the pancreas. This can lead to duodenal ulcers. The pancreatic enzymes help with the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids (Mcat-review 2015) An alkaline environment is required for the release of bile and therefore the digestion of fat and it’s absorption. This means that vital fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are lost (Fox and Cameron 2006). They also state that the lining of the small intestines releases intestinal juice which is important…

the halotolerant Staphylococcus genus. MSA also contains mannitol, which allows differential identification because an indicator detects acid produced by the fermentation of mannitol (4). MacConkey agar, which is media containing crystal violet and bile salts inhibits Gram positive bacteria (5). The media is also differential since the fermentation of lactose is detectable on MacConkey agar by pH indicators. Eosin Methylene Blue agar (EMB) contains chemicals that inhibit Gram positive growth and…
released by parietal cells, pepsin, which digest protein and are released by chief cells, protozoans, and bacteria (in the case of ruminant animals). Next, the food is passed on to the small intestine where it is digested further by pancreatic juice and bile from the pancreas and liver, respectively (both of which are accessory organs, and not a part of the digestive system, technically) that digest starch (pancreatic amylase), fat (lipase), and protein (trypsin). In the small intestine,…

bilirubin which is elevated compared to the normal range which could have been caused by a liver dysfunction. According to Thepa (2007), serum bilirubin is elevated when there is an impairment in the excretion of conjugated bilirubin from hepatocytes of bile ducts. The results also showed elevation of two of the liver’s enzymes, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), these elevation could be caused by impaired liver function (Pratt et al, 2000). Mariana’s serum ALT…
