Rectum

susceptible to this cancer. Another pre-cancerous condition of the colon or rectum is called dysplasia. This is an area in the lining of the colon that has abnormal cells. This disease left untreated can later develop into cancer. Colon cancer can be very hard to detect early on because patients may have little to no symptoms. However, as the cancer grows the condition may become more noticeable. Some symptoms of colon/rectum cancer may be hard to distinguish from other diseases. People often…

disease. The physician also performs a physical examination of the patient to check the abdomen for suspicious masses or enlarged organs. The physical examination may also include a digital rectal exam (DRE). For this exam, the physician checks the rectum for any suspicious masses using a lubricated, gloved finger. The physician may also check a sample of the patient’s stool for occult blood (blood not visible to the naked eye). Blood Tests Blood tests are useful for diagnosing colorectal cancer…

a rapid and out of control matter.The form of cancer in which I chose to cover was Prostate Cancer. Prostate cancer is a result of cells in a male prostate gland to rapidly. The prostate is located inferior to the bladder and is anterior to the rectum. The size of the prostate varies in size according to the age of the male although it tends to be larger in size if the male is older. The prostate is also an aid in the production of semen as it secretes it prostate fluid and helps eject the…

and similarities. To begin, the oesophagus of a shark is short and wide while the humans is long and thin. However, similarities include the fact both are used to create a direct path between the mouth and the stomach. Humans and sharks both have a rectum and the both have similarities and differences between them. A similarity includes the fact both are used to carry store waste before it is excreted. A difference however is that a shark will release salt into the water. In addition, a shark’s…

normal physiological conditions, the function of the colon and the rectum is responsible for the very last phase of digestion. Water is absorbed from the digested material (mostly liquid at this point) by the colon to form stool. Subsequently, the dehydrated stool then moves into the rectum for storage until signals are sent for its expulsion from the anus (Silverthorn, 2012). When carcinomas occur in either the colon or the rectum, they are collectively labeled as colorectal cancer. Despite…

A 29-year-old male with previous established Crohn's colitis elsewhere transferred to FMC Butner. I am to assess disease activity and extent of disease. PROCEDURE IN DETAIL Timeout was called. Consent signed. Examination of the perineum and rectum were normal. The preparation was adequate. IV sedation administered.

Action Plan Abdominal Angiography: Simulated Case Study of Gastrointestinal Bleeding Clinical Concerns & Imaging Goals A 50-year-old male patient present to Emergency Department with hematochezia. Patient’s CT demonstrated active bleeding in his rectum. Generally, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is caused by multitudes of pathologic processes, it has an intermittent nature and it could be a life-threatening condition for the patient (Cherian et al., 2009). Hence, it is crucial to determine the…

P5: explain the role and location of organs involved in digestion Gallbladder: • The purpose of a gallbladder is to store bile which is needed for the digestion of fats in food. Made by the liver bile flows into the larger hepatic ducts and goes into the gallbladder where it is stored and can be used by the body later • Your pancreas is one of the organs that secretes enzymes into the duodenum. The enzymes found in pancreatic juice break down all of the major nutrients, including carbohydrates…

inflammation, or colitis, occurs when the lining of the colon thickens, hindering the colon's ability to properly absorb water and store feces. Rectal inflammation, or proctitis, causes the lining of the lower part of the digestive tract, the anus and rectum, to thicken. Both types of inflammation typically occur when the digestive linings are infiltrated by various cells. Colitis and proctitis can cause a loss of nutrients, dehydration and pain in cats. Identifying the reason for the…

Lucy also consume carbohydrates such as berries and oranges, (the process in which the food moves down from the mouth to the rectum is the same as above.) it is first digested mechanically by chewing. The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth by salivary enzyme, amylase, the fruits starches are digested into maltose and disaccharide. As the food travels through the esophagus to the stomach, no significant digestion of carbohydrates takes place as the HCl in the stomach stops amylase…
