1. Introduction This illustrated report will be concentrating on the digestive system and the detail of digestion, including mechanical and chemical digestion, extracellular and intracellular digestion. It will highlight how enzymes work within the digestive system, which ones and where they are produced. It will show the importance of metabolism and its two categories anabolism and catabolism, there will also be an illustration of how nutrients are processed during anabolism and catabolism. It…

As M. tempus is an omnivore due to their monogastric digestive system, and is similar to a pigs digestive system, but with adaptations similar to that of bilbies (Thylacomyidae) due to the occasional low availability of prey and living food sources, resulting in adapted hindgut fermentation and a long digestive tract, (Tyndale-Biscoe C H 2005). Although M. tempus must ferment the consumed plant material, their gastrointestinal tracts are still incredibly different to those of foregut fermenters,…

Community Health Resource Paper: Chronicity in the Context of Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Chronic Urinary Incontinence Chronic illness is defined as “the irreversible presence, accumulation, or latency of diseased states that involve the total human environment for supportive care and self-care, maintenance of function, and prevention of further disability” (Curtin & Lubkin, 1995, p. 6). Though the specifics of this definition can be contentious, for the purposes of this paper, any disease which…

and how much is consumed a day. Acid ulcers are “ A raw of inflamed area of the stomach lining”. Peptic ulcers are an open sore in your stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, (GERD), “ is a digestive disorder that affects the lower esophageal sphincter,(LES), the ring of muscle between the esophageal muscle between the esophagus and stomach. Also gastric ulcers not so intense but so much of a pain in someone’s stomach. So this raises the question what happens if you have acid ulcers and or…

Chemical Aspects of Digestion Lab Report By Abdulelah Almutairi Animal Form and Function Lab, 03, 12:30 PM Instructor: Melanie Gustafso-Ropski – Lab Assistant: Corinna Monday March 9,2015 1. Part A • The enzyme used in this experiment is pancreatic lipase. The substrate for pancreatic lipase is lipids or triglycerides. Hydrolysis of triglycerides occurs in the duodenum and the PH rages are from 7.1 to 8.2. • Phenol red was used as a PH indicator of the samples.…

The Prostate Gland: An Overview: Anatomy: The prostate gland is shaped as an inverted cone in which the apex is pointing downward, the base is referring upward, and the midgland is sandwiched in between. In an antro-posterior view, the gland lies with its long axis parallel to the anterior rectal wall. It is bordered superiorly by the bladder (ventrally) and the seminal vesicles (dorsally), and inferiorly by the urogenital diaphragm (Jung and Westphalen, 2012). The prostate is separated from…

There are numerous risk factors identified by many researchers that influence the occurrence of clinical mastitis such as age, parity, lactation stage, milk yield(Yamane, 2003; Rollin et al., 2015) A. Breed Risk of mastitis varies from breed to breed. High yielding cows are generally considered to be more susceptible to intramammary infection e.g. Holstein Frisian (HF), Jersey or HF and Jersey cross bred dairy cows are more susceptible to mastitis than Desi (Zebu) breeds of cows (Sharma, 2003)…

Morrison (2012) explains that nurses have specialised knowledge to gather comprehensive physical assessments and differential diagnoses. Evidence-based practice utilises the best available evidence and clinician expertise to formulise an evidence based decision (Bickley, 2013). This essay will analyse the diagnostic reasoning behind decisions made in the diagnosis of a client. A brief diagnosis and pathophysiology will be explained, followed by the client’s health history, physical examination…
