Digestive system

Horses have a type of digestion that is called hind-gut fermentation a type of digestion characterized by a relatively small fore-gut and mid gut which digesta passes through fairly quickly. To the hind-gut where the majority of digestion occurs via microbiological forces. Staring out the digesta is swallowed into the stomach which in a horse is monogastric having only one chamber to it. That said, it is not the kidney bean shape that we would think of in humans or pigs, but it has a more…

What are the Uric Acid Rich Foods? – Uric acid is a chemical that is formed in the body when the body starts breaking down and this causes purine (purine) to grow. There are some food and drinks such as beer, mackerel, grind, beans, anchovies and dry beans. It is a special acid that travels through the kidneys in the blood and travels through kidneys and urine/urine and thus increases some conflicts. If a number of uric acid increases in the blood then the cause of hyperuricemia becomes. In…

Biliary System The organs and ducts that make up the Biliary System are bile ducts, and the gallbladder. In the system once the bile is secreted from the liver and drained through the smile bile bones called canaliculli. They collect into the heapatic ducts, which then collect in the common heapatic ducts. The heapatic ducts join by the cystic duct to create the common bile duct. These would run from the liver to the duodenum, which would be the first section of the small intestine. However,…

Teeth are important in the human digestion system. Teeth help to ingest and digest the food. The main function of teeth is to crush food into smaller surface area. This is necessary, as it will create a larger surface area for the enzymes to work on the food (in-text citation). There are 4 types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars and molars. There are 4 incisors, 2 canines, 4 premolars and 4 molars on both the upper and lower jaw. The arrangement of each type of tooth is shown on Fig.1…

lymphatic system, it is important for maintaining a balance between body fluids. It is located below the ribcage, above the stomach. The function of it is to filter the blood of any foreign invaders, provide a reservoir of oxygen (rich blood) and to dispose of worn out erythrocytes. They also remove old and damaged blood cells. It acts as storage for the red blood cells to be used when needed. Hodgkin Lymphoma What is it? Hodgkin Lymphoma is a blood cancer which starts in the lymphatic…

stomach. The gastric proton pump resides in this gastric mucosa at the apical pole of the parietal cells. Under normal circumstances, approximately three liters of stomach acid is produced in a day under the regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system. The principle stimulant of acid secretion by the gastric proton pump is food intake, which acts by releasing gastrin. Once the gastrin has been released, the protein kinases activate, via the cAMP, and ultimately the H+/K+-ATPase, or gastric…

I once went with my friend to our teacher's classroom to finish our science project. Both of us overheard Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. Turner, and Mrs. Bliss talking about a shrink ray yesterday. I asked my friend, Sam, "What do you think they were talking about?" "I don't know, let's just finish our science project." said Sam. In the corner of my eye, I saw a…

Anatomy Consist of lips, tongue, teeth and salivary glands. Snout and Lips Folds of fleshy tissue located around the pig’s mouth. Skin and mucous membrane cover the pigs upper and lower lips. They contain a layer of connective tissue and labial glands (salivary glands). Their immobile and have and flattened upper lip. Incisors - Chiselled shaped teeth are located in the front and mid-section of the mouth. Canines – sharp pointed teeth located both sides of the mouth (top and bottom).…

Colon Cancer Pathophysiology Colon Cancer Introduction Pathophysiology is based on structural changes and abnormalities that cause disease and defects. Colon cancer is a disease of the large intestine. Cancer early on shows no signs or symptom and is called the silent killer. In the early stage there would be small noncancerous polyps that are growths on the lining of the large intestine. When the cancer goes undetected for a long period it will proliferate and be noticed. When left…

“Gastro” is a term that means stomach, while “Paresis” means weakness. Gastroparesis commonly referred as gastric emptying is a digestive disorder in which the food movement from the stomach to small intestine slows down or gets abnormal. In order to move food from the stomach to small intestine the stomach contracts. The stomach muscles are regulated by the vagus nerves. In order to break down food and movement food over gastrointestinal tract, the stomach muscle controlled by vagus nerve…
