chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation of the digestive, or gastrointestinal tract.

The most common symptoms of Crohn’s diseases are diarrhea, cramping and pain in your abdomen, and weight loss. Your digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract also called the digestive…

goes 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…

the spot.

As the diaphragm contracts and the intercostal muscles relax, a negative intrathoracic pressure is created which generates a pressure gradient between what is currently higher air pressure outside the respiratory airways, thus directing airflow into the nostrils towards the lungs. A molecule of oxygen near the nostril is sucked in to this moving air and enters the nasal cavity where it experiences turbulence due to the irregular path created by the nasal conchae and nasal meatuses. Here, other…

These enzymes enter the small intestines duodenum via the pancreatic duct. The polypeptides are further broken down into smaller substances called peptides (Primal Pictures). Peptides are two or more amino acids linked together. After the complete digestion of the chicken’s protein has taken place, the amino acids are absorbed through the small intestine lining and into the bloodstream. Lipids, which can also be found in chicken and rice, are digested and absorbed by the small intestine. Bile…

There is a myth that states gum will stay in the human stomach for 7 years after being swallowed. However, studies have shown that this is in fact incorrect. Gum is very digestible and isn’t hard to break apart in the stomach unless consumed in very large quantities due to its sticky texture. In many incidents, swallowed gum passes through the digestive system as well as any other food. When somebody swallows gum the material is first taken down the esophagus (the first mushed food is called…

asymptomatic but cases have been reported in the literature in which patients presented with dyspeptic symptoms. Histologically, pigments are deposited in the lysosomes of macrophages in the lamina propria(10). The pigments mostly consist of iron, but small amounts of calcium, aluminum, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, silicon and silver have also been detected. It has been suggested that these trace elements are probably derived from the biological milieu and/or other drugs and/or food…
