The Human Digestive System is the bodily system where the organs (mouth, throat, colon, small intestines, esophagus, stomach, rectum and anus) all get to interact with each other. The function of the Human Digestive System is to break down and process foods that’s consumed and also get rid of waste from the body. (BOOK) Homeostasis is shown by the human digestive system through the process of disintegrating foods into different ways that can be consumed and controlled by bodily cells. In this…

Lipase is an enzyme in the body that is used to break down fats within the boy so the fats can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced with the pancreas, mouth and stomach. Most bodies produce enough lipase but bodies with conditions such as cystic fibrosis, Crohn disease and celiac disease may not have enough lipase to break down fats and get the nutrition…

from the mouth to the stomach then to the small intestine. In the mouth, some of the hard fats begin to melt as they reach body temperature. The salivary gland in the base of the tongue then releases an enzyme called lingual lipase. In the stomach, the churning causes fat with water and acid to mix. Very little of the digestion happens in the stomach because most of it happens in the small intestine. When the fat from the stomach enters the small intestine, then a hormone called cholecystokinin…

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is primarily in charge of controlling most of bowel and gut movements and is a relatively new concept. The ENS is made up of multiple ganglia that function organs including: the small and large intestines, stomach, liver, gallbladder, appendix, and pancreas. Hirschsprung’s disease can result from a mutation of the ENS. Hirschsprung’s disease is a condition where the colon partially forms due to the mutant genes that have preceded it during the development of the…

651-652. Moreover, the reason this is correct is due to the fact that in the mouth there is salivary amylase that digests starch to maltose. Within the small intestine, maltose is further broken down into glucose. Within the Protein digestion pepsin which is produced by the stomach digests protein to peptides and continues in the small intestine where trypsin carries out this same process. Lipids digestion end with monoglycerides (glycerol + one fatty acid) and fatty…

intestinal and overall health, these supplements will give you that extra boost you need to heal. Fiber Without fiber, probiotics (healthy gut bacteria) cannot survive. A fiber supplement will help sweep out bad bacteria and waste products from your intestines, which will give your inflamed gut a better chance to heal. Digestive Enzymes Digestive enzymes are critical to healing leaky gut syndrome naturally. Enzymes help break down proteins and complex sugars and starches, which can help…

Introduction A gastrointestinal arteriovenous malformation is a rare defect of tangled veins and arteries involving the intestine. This defect can occur anywhere in the intestine. The defect creates an abnormal collection of blood vessels that can put pressure on other parts of your body that are close by. It causes blood vessels to expand (dilate) over time and sometimes bleed. Many people with this defect never have any symptoms. This defect is present at birth (congenital). What are the…

All of the above, are major risk factors for the formation of gallstones. Cholelithiasis patients should avoid fatty food meals as they result in high cholesterol intake which can’t be digested as the gallbladder cant stimulate bile into the small intestine. If the patients eat fatty foods the gallbladder will try to release bile and as a result it will cause pain in the abdomen. Large meals should also be avoided as they contribute to fat intake and the food isn’t able to be digest. (Saxelby,…

This gut is composed of the anterior midgut ceca, posterior midgut, hepatopancreas (digestive gland) and intestine (midgut trunk) (Icely and Nott, 1992, Martin and Chiu, 2003). The peritrophic membrane, epithelium, basal lamina, haemocyte layer (granulocytes), and connective layer of the circular and longitudinal muscles and the outer intima are composed within…

Gastroparesis is a digestive system disorder; gastroparesis affects the stomach muscles. This disorder causes weakening of the stomach muscles, this causes poor churning and mixing of food by the stomach contractions and the normal movement of the stomach muscles that propel the food forward through the digestive tract is slowed down or in some cases they completely stop working. This prevents the food form being emptied from the stomach. Diet changes can be used to treat this condition.…
