Small intestine

Ulcerative Colitis, Pediatric Ulcerative colitis is long-lasting (chronic) inflammation of the large intestine (colon). Sores (ulcers) may also form on the colon. Ulcerative colitis, along with a closely related condition called Crohn disease, is often referred to as inflammatory bowel disease. CAUSES Ulcerative colitis is caused by increased activity of the immune system in the intestines. The immune system is the system that protects the body against harmful bacteria, viruses, and other…

(longitudinal, circular and oblique muscle), submucosa and mucosa. There are many functions of the stomach, it is a temporary storage area for the food to allow digestive enzymes to act. These break down the food molecules so they are ready for the intestines. It functions to do the mechanical breakdown and production of Chyme. The stomach walls roll and churn the food around and pour on secretions from the gastric glands. The resulting paste-like material is called Chyme. Another function of…

Type I was divided into four subtypes according to the occurrence of small extra branches of either the dorsal or ventral divisions of the renal artery directed to the renal poles. Type Ia. Extra branches were absent. Type Ib. The ventral or dorsal division, after its origin, gave off an extra branch to cranial pole. Type…

Almost every cell goes through a phase called the Cell Cycle this is where they cell grows and develops and then eventually splits into two cells. Why is this important? Well through the cell cycle it repairs damaged cells or replaces worn out cells. When you break your leg the cells work to get the bone healed or when you have a cut the cell cycle will help you by dividing cells to create a scab for your cut to heal. The cell spends most of its life in interphase, then it goes to the mitotic…

moves the food around. The food particles mix with saliva, which contains digestive enzymes, and becomes slippery. This enables the food to become easier to swallow, allowing it an easier passage as it move into the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and finally the colon, which allows it to be evacuated from the body through the rectum. The oral cavity is important to the digestive system because it allows the food to be broken down into smaller pieces in order for it to enter the…

The 44-year-old obese female is admitted to the emergency room with fever, severe abdominal pain on the upper right side that radiates to the scapula and nausea. I believe this patient is experiencing acute cholecystitis, gallbladder attack. The signs and symptoms of acute cholecystitis includes: intense or sudden pain in the upper right part of the stomach, worsening pain with deep breathing extending to the lower part of the right shoulder blade, shortness of breath due to pain, nausea and…

canal system is present in their body, in which a water current is produced by the organism’s flagellum, a thread-like structure that is present in Poriferans. This water current bears food particles to be passed into their bodies through numerous small openings known as Ostia. The food materials are taken from the water current by collar cells, which later digest the materials through an intracellular process. Once the Poriferans have finished digesting, the undigested materials are removed…

To understand KBs diagnoses of pancreatitis it is first important to understand the function of the pancreas. The pancreas works as both an exocrine and endocrine gland. The endocrine portion of the pancreas includes the production of Insulin from beta cells, and glucagon from alpha cells which are released into the bloodstream to help regulate blood sugars.1 The pancreas works as an exocrine organ by secreting digestive enzymes that are released into the duodenum through the common bile duct…

Compare and contrast: The Hunger games There are many books that then make movies based on it, but sometimes they don’t make a good movie, but sometimes they do a good movie, an example of it is The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins and the movie by director Gary Ross. The hunger games is about 12 districts that every year each district have two tributes and fight for their life, Whoever is the final one alive receives fame, fortune, and their district gets privileges rained…

The regulation of acid and pepsin secretion is associated with a balance of chemo-transmitters delivered to the gastric mucosa by pathways that facilitate stimulation and inhibition. The physiologic stimulation of acid secretion is divided into the cephalic, gastric, and intestinal. The main component of gastric secretion is HCL which is a product of the parietal cells. The parietal cells are epithelial cells that secrete HCL and essential factors. Parietal cells are located in the gastric…
