Many developing countries around the world, including U.S., have made advancements in the field of agriculture with help of biotechnology. Currently, the most common biotech used in farming is genetically modified organism. GMOs are organisms whose genetic material is altered using modern biotech. These organisms contain a combination of different genes,…

The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines neuropathic pain as pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Neuropathic pain can either be central or peripheral. Central neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the central somatosensory nervous system, whereas peripheral pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the peripheral somatosensory nervous system (IASP, 2012).

effects are depending upon different factors such as age, consumption of liquor. In this essay I will discuss how alcohol affects biological system of the body. Ethyl alcohol is rapidly absorbed into blood through stomach (smaller part of alcohol) and intestine (major part of alcohol). Firstly, long term use of alcohol affects the lining of gastrointestinal tract causes vomiting, diarrhoea, varices formation in oesophagus etc. Secondly, liver that is largest organ responsible for detoxification…

When isolated by themselves, organs like the heart, the small intestine, and the femur may not initially seem connected. However, a closer look at these organs shows a deep, mutually beneficial relationship. The marrow of the femur generates the stem cells that mature into the blood cells eventually pumped throughout the body by the heart. The small intestine absorbs nutrients and transfers them to the bloodstream, to be carried throughout the body with each heartbeat. These nutrients and blood…

During digestion, food is broken down in the mouth, stomach, and intestines. Many nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine into the circulation, while undigested food particles and waste are passed on to the large intestine (colon) for elimination. People normally pass stools once or twice a day, but some people may do this less frequently. The colon, therefore, also serves as storage of wastes until bowel movement occurs. Intestinal cleansing or colon cleansing has been practiced for over…

After the stomach the chyme moves along to the small intestine where it will be broken down even further, by secretions from the liver and pancreas. The small intestine is…
