Duodenum

metabolism and its two categories anabolism and catabolism, there will also be an illustration of how nutrients are processed during anabolism and catabolism. It will then go on to organs of the digestive system, specifically the stomach, liver, duodenum and ileum, explain in detail the process that happens there. To give a more in-depth look at absorption it will explain the function of lacteals and capillaries…

These enzymes enter the small intestines duodenum via the pancreatic duct. The polypeptides are further broken down into smaller substances called peptides (Primal Pictures). Peptides are two or more amino acids linked together. After the complete digestion of the chicken’s protein has taken place…

The gastrointestinal tract is lined by four different layers. The outermost layer is the mucosa layer that secretes a mucous membrane onto the surface of the digestive organs. This mucous membrane protects the delicate layers that lie beneath it protecting them from the gastric juices being produced. These gastric juices are acidic with a PH of ____ which is equivalent to ________. When the patient develops a sore or ulceration in the lining it allows the acids to reach the other tissues causing…

mediators of inflammation to contribute to the mucosal damage. The infection in the antrum of the stomach will lead to hypergastrinemia and an increased acid production. The increase in the acid in the duodenum will impair duodenal bicarbonate production, thus reducing the luminal pH in the duodenum. This promotes the development of gastric metaplasia, resulting in the colonization of organisms in these area, leading to the development of duodenal ulcers (Grossman & Porth,…

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 enters the duodenum which then mixes with digestive secretions from the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder (Sadava, D et al., 2008). Carbohydrates can be seen as a key energy source during exercise to fuel exercising muscle tissue…

Digestive System The digestive system is also known as the gastrointestinal system, where the mouth is connected by a series of organs all the way through the body to the anus. This article stated, “digestion is the process in which the body breaks down our food and drinks into smaller particles to feed and nourish our cells” (“Your digestive system,” 2004). This process is important for the body to use the nutrients from food towards energy, growth, cell repair, as well as our overall…

Giraffe The scientific classification of the giraffe is the Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Artiodactyla, Family: Giraffidae, Genus: Giraffa, and Species: G. Camelopardalis (Giraffe: The Facts). Giraffes are found in savannas, grasslands and open woodlands in Africa. Each subspecies lives in a different area of Africa. They range from eastern, central and southern Africa (Basic Facts About Giraffes ). During the dry season, giraffes are found near water holes and…

from producing chemicals it then weakens the defenses of the lining allowing an ulcer to form. (Crowe and Peura, D, 2014) The last cause is not as common and is due to a tumor either cancerous or non-cancerous located in the stomach, pancreas or duodenum. (Crowe and Peura, D, 2014) Common belief was that stress and spicy foods caused peptic ulcers which is false, they make the ulcer worse but do not cause it. (Crowe and Peura, D,…

The duodenum receives digestive (enzymatic) juices from the pancreas that will help break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in our food and that will help to neutralize acid from the food in the stomach until digested food particles are ready for absorption…

INTRODUCTION The Jehovah’s Witness religion is a Christian movement with 6.3 million followers worldwide with 0.002% in India. This community does not accept blood or blood products based on their biblical teachings. This belief when compounded with a trauma scenario in India where there is alack of awareness of this community leads to creation of obstacles in their treatment plan along with legal, medical and ethical challenges for the health care provider1. ABSTRACT The awareness of the…
