Primarily, it is created in the intestinal tract, usually from the bacterial degradation of nitrogen found in ingested food, filtered out into urea by the liver, and excreted by the kidneys. The ammonia that is breathed in is usually also immediately breathed out. Ammonia that is ingested is also immediately absorbed into the bloodstream and is excreted immediately or turned into a less harmful substance. Its most toxic effects are found at the areas of direct contact such as the mucous…
It is routine and expected from the students, they are not rebelling but meeting the expectations set for them. The student’s conformity to these expectations only feeds further categorization of the students as a group outside of mainline French culture. Within the walls the students are monolithically believed to be incapable of reading ‘real’ French texts, like Voltaire. Outside of the walls — outside the systemic dictates— one student is capable of reading and digesting Plato’s Republic.…
the tongue 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…
He slammed me against the locker. Pain spread through my body like wildfire. “Give it to me or you’ll suffer more than this,” he gritted through his teeth. “I don’t have it,” I managed to get through. A punch to the stomach.

And he walked away clutching my money in his hand. Everybody knew that…

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery [LRGB] is a very straightforward procedure. A person gains weight depending on how much food one eats before they feel satiated. If you eat too much before feeling full, you gain weight rapidly, and the opposite is also true. LRGB simply reduces the time it takes before a person starts feeling satiated. It reduces calorific intake and this leads to weight loss. Patients under the age of 18yrs are bound to have excellent results following surgery with…
Kim 2 Shape & Structure The pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a special simple columnar cell that appears to be stratified. However, upon closer inspection of the cell, we see that it only has one layer instead of the multiple layers like it's stratified counterpart. The actual shape of the cell itself consists of basal, fusiform, and columnar cells with only the columnar cells reaching the apical(free) surface, this makes it appear stratified due to the other cells (basal & fusiform) not…

that are needed for digestion orally, in some sort of tablet or capsule3. Creon is administered in the form of an enteric-coated, delayed-release capsule2. The enteric-coating is meant to diminish destruction or inactivation from the acids in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract2. It is made up of a combination of porcine-derived enzymes, particularly, porcine-derived lipases, proteases, and amylases taken from a pig pancreas2. Once ingested, Creon, breaks food down in multiple ways depending…
