Duodenum

The portal triad is typically approached from the right. A wide Kocher maneuver is performed to mobilize the duodenum and head of the pancreas. The ascending colon and hepatic flexure are mobilized with right medial visceral rotation. The duodenum and right colon are reflected to the left to expose the retro-pancreatic or supra-pancreatic portal vein. Occasionally, we enter the lesser sac and divide the neck of pancreas if exposure…

Animal Physiology As the meaning of word ’anatomy’ is the biological form of an animal, physiology means the biological function of an animal. Animal physiology differs in several ways from animal to animal, but all animals share some principal functions. Such functions are attaining nutrients, performing osmoregulation and excretion, and protecting themselves against pathogens. Animals manage these actions by exchanging with the environment. Exchanging is the action when substances in an…

stomach acid is a valuable contributor to aid in the process in digestion. However, when stomach acid is overproduced, it can irritate the esophagus and cause Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or initiate the development of ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. Through regular use of proton pump inhibitors, acid reflux into the esophagus is reduced and associated symptoms are alleviated over time. While effective, a number of side effects have been associated with proton pump inhibitor use. Proton…

proteins into peptides and amino acids2. Finally, Creon will take any starches and will do the same thing; catalyze the hydrolysis of the starch into dextrins and other short-chain sugars2. All of the catalyzation of these molecules takes place in the duodenum and proximal small intestine, simulating the digestive enzymes that would be physiologically…

The livers digestive function is to produce bile for transfer to the duodenum. In addition, the gallbladder stores any bile that is not needed for digestion and concentrates it by absorbing some of the water and…
