Small intestine

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…

Basically, we have many disease to death in the world. Bowel disease is one of the main problem disease. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is included of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract resulting in symptoms. For example :perianal disease, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, anemia, decreased appetite, fatigue, arthritis, growth delay, delayed puberty, and diarrhea (Kevin A. Hommel, 2008). First, we need to know that…

Description and Prevalence Esophagus is part of the gastrointestinal (GI) system located in the upper body, posterior to the trachea (Huether and McCance, 2012). The esophagus consists of four layers (from outermost to innermost layer): adventitia, musculairis propria, submucosa and mucosa. The submucosa and the mucosa layers are very important because they are the common sites for cancer development. The submucosa layer contains gland cells that produce mucus for lubrication and aiding the…

Cholecystitis, a condition also referred to as gallbladder disease, occurs when an individual’s gallbladder becomes inflamed. This inflammation is usually caused by gallstones, which block the tube through which bile is usually released. The buildup is responsible for the inflammation. Gallstones are common, particularly in Western populations. In the United States, gallstones are seen in approximately 6% of men and 9% of women. The incidence in children is not known; however, gallstones/biliary…

Introduction Throughout the day, humans expend energy through a variety of different processes and activities. The body's response to this energy demand is energy intake in the form of different fuel sources which includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and although it is not an optimal fuel source, humans are also capable of using alcohol for energy. After the food is ingested, it is digested through complex processes that breakdown the larger molecules into smaller molecules such as…

What are the Uric Acid Rich Foods? – Uric acid is a chemical that is formed in the body when the body starts breaking down and this causes purine (purine) to grow. There are some food and drinks such as beer, mackerel, grind, beans, anchovies and dry beans. It is a special acid that travels through the kidneys in the blood and travels through kidneys and urine/urine and thus increases some conflicts. If a number of uric acid increases in the blood then the cause of hyperuricemia becomes. In…

Teeth are important in the human digestion system. Teeth help to ingest and digest the food. The main function of teeth is to crush food into smaller surface area. This is necessary, as it will create a larger surface area for the enzymes to work on the food (in-text citation). There are 4 types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars and molars. There are 4 incisors, 2 canines, 4 premolars and 4 molars on both the upper and lower jaw. The arrangement of each type of tooth is shown on Fig.1…

The gastrointestinal (GI) framework is comprised of the GI tract in addition to accessory organs. Basically, the GI tract is a long empty tube that reaches out from your oral cavity where sustenance enters your body, by means of the throat, stomach, small digestive system, internal organ, rectum, lastly to the rear-end where undigested nourishment is removed. The frill organs incorporate the salivary organs, pancreas and liver. These emit vital chemicals into the digestive tract. The nerve…

Anatomy Consist of lips, tongue, teeth and salivary glands. Snout and Lips Folds of fleshy tissue located around the pig’s mouth. Skin and mucous membrane cover the pigs upper and lower lips. They contain a layer of connective tissue and labial glands (salivary glands). Their immobile and have and flattened upper lip. Incisors - Chiselled shaped teeth are located in the front and mid-section of the mouth. Canines – sharp pointed teeth located both sides of the mouth (top and bottom).…

The muscle and connective tissue is found in the oesophagus. This is because the smooth muscle contracts which helps to move food along the. The cartilage is found in the esophagus is because it provides support and flexibility when the food moves. The oesophagus is where the food travels towards the stomach so that it can be broken down which then the body uses for energy. The nucleus controls the cell activities inside the cell. Mitochondria are needing to give energy to the cell and tissue.…
