Gallbladder The gallbladder stores and thinks bile, and afterward discharges it into the duodenum to assimilate and process fats. Colon (internal…

still dismal. The pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) is the conventional surgical treatment for pancreatic cancer in the head or uncinate process of the pancreas 3. The traditional Whipple procedure included removal of the pancreatic head, duodenum, first 15 cm of the jejunum, common bile duct, and gallbladder, and a partial gastrectomy 3. Newer variants such as subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy and the pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy are now used to…

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, not all the bile flows directly into the duodenum. About half of the bile that is produced by the liver is stored in the gallbladder first. When food is eaten the gallbladder would contract and release the bile that was stored into the duodenum to help…

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…

HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM 1.0 Introduction Humans need to obtain nutrients by taking in different kinds of food. The food we eat needs to be broken down into simple, soluble forms before it can be absorbed by our body. The human digestive system has many process. It contains different stages and works in different organs. It starts at the oral cavity and ends at the anus. The digestive system involves five main processes in the digestive system; ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and…

In this phase, solid is placed into the mouth and the lips are shut by the orbicularis oris facial muscle (VII). The food is mixed with salvia and masticated with the teeth, so it can pass through the esophagus for digestion. Sensory recognition is critical at this stage and the movement and timing patterns in this phase varies depending on the viscosity. The salvia and food has now created a bolus in which lateral movements of the tongue and mandible are made. Furthermore, the soft palate has…

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery [LRGB] is a very straightforward procedure. A person gains weight depending on how much food one eats before they feel satiated. If you eat too much before feeling full, you gain weight rapidly, and the opposite is also true. LRGB simply reduces the time it takes before a person starts feeling satiated. It reduces calorific intake and this leads to weight loss. Patients under the age of 18yrs are bound to have excellent results following surgery with…

Gillian Bianchi and Sarah Collins February 10, 2016 Dr. Leydon SLP-585-A Larynx Dissection 1. When we began we saw the trachea, the aditus, vestibule, and the aryepiglottic folds. a. The trachea is the tube-like structure that attaches to the cricoid, and brings oxygen into the lungs. b. The esophagus is the structure on the posterior side of the structure, this structure brings the bolus into the stomach. c. The aditus is the opening at the top of the structure d. The vestibule e. The…

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…
