Stomach cancer

The duodenum receives digestive (enzymatic) juices from the pancreas that will help break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in our food and that will help to neutralize acid from the food in the stomach until digested food particles are ready for absorption. Bile from the gall bladder reach the intestine and will mix with fat in our food in order to dissolve the fat into a liquid form of intestine so that enzymes from the pancreas can digest it.…

So You like a Tummy Tuck When we gain weight, our skin stretches beyond limits that when we lose some of the pounds later, what used to be stretched skin becomes wrinkled and flabby. Diet and exercise cannot help keep the skin firm in this case. So we turn to tummy tucks. A tummy tuck, more properly termed as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure done to a patient to remove excess skin or fat in the abdomen area as well as help tighten the muscles there. This procedure is also done to correct…

It is 10 inches long and connects the Pharynx to the stomach. The oesophagus runs parallel to the trachea and is narrowed at three points, behind the cartilage of the trachea, where the left bronchus and aorta cross in front of the oesophagus and where the oesophagus enters the stomach. The main function of the oesophagus is to transport the bolus from the oral cavity down into the stomach. The movements of the bolus are caused by peristalsis. The salivary amylase continues…

but also in our bodies? If not, I’m here to tell you all about it. Put on your seatbelts & join me in the drive through the digestion of your, rather large, pretzel stick. In your head, think about where digestion first occurs. Did you choose the stomach? If you did, sorry but you’re wrong, the correct answer is the mouth. Digestion starts with that first pretzel stick you…

It is time to begin our tour through our body, and see how the digestive system really works. First the digestive system is broken down into eight sections. Those eight sections are the oral cavity/ tongue, the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, the large intestine, the liver, the pancreas, the gallbladder, the rectum, and lastly the anus. Our first stop is the oral cavity or the mouth. The food is taken into the digestive system by the mouth. The mouth itself contains…

needed to not only prevent bacterial growth, but to create an optimal environment for it’s enzymes to digest the food (now chyme) received through the cardioesophageal sphincter. The small intestine cannot handle such high pH, therefore when the stomach releases chyme into the small intestines, a signal is sent to the pancreas to release an alkaline substance called “sodium bicarbonate” to neutralize the chime’s acidic pH. Once neutralized, enzyme-rich pancreatic juices (neutral pH) work…

reproductive, cardiovascular and digestive system, so does the coyote. The reproductive system consists of the mouth, throat, liver, pancreas, stomach, large and small intestine and colon. Food will be chewed and then swallowed. It will then travel the very long way through the throat, to the stomach where it will be further broken down (called chyme). After the stomach the chyme moves along to the small intestine where it will be broken down even further, by secretions from the liver and…

Functions of the skin: There are eight main functions associated with the skin. These are as follows... 1. Secretion – the skin secretes sebum from the sebaceous glands. This fatty substance lubricates the hair shafts and when combined with perspiration on the surface of the skin, it creates a natural moisturiser which acts as a protective barrier against bacteria. 2. Heat regulation – body temperature is maintained in healthy humans at 37oC (98.6oF). organs involved in heat production are…

is the first or base chakra and is located in the pelvic floor and corresponds to the coccygeal plexus of nerves. In the masculine body it lies between the urinary and excretory openings, in the form of a small dormant gland termed the perineal body (or central tendon of perineum). In the feminine body it is situated inside the posterior surface of the cervix. This chakra is considered an embryonic form of consciousness because it is primarily active from about three months in the fetal stage…

The small intestine consists of three divisions: The duodenum is the uppermost division and the part to which the pyloric end of the stomach attaches. it is about 25 cm (10 inches) long and is shaped roughly like the letter C. The name duodenum , meaning " 12 fingerbreadths," refers to the short length of this intestinal division. The duodenum becomes jejunum at the point where the tube turns abruptly forward and downward . The jejunal portion continues for approximately the next 2.5 m (8…
