is then digested into its constituent, an amino acid by pancreatic enzymes prior to absorption. First, the chicken is mechanically digested in the mouth when chewed and breaks it into smaller pieces. The partially digested chicken travels to the stomach and begins digesting with the action of enzymes called pepsin (Primal Pictures). Pepsin breaks the bonds that hold the protein molecule together. Once these bonds have been broken they form a chain of amino acids that are linked together called…

energy, and basic nutrients to feed the entire body. Food passes through a long tube in the body called the gastrointestinal tract (GI), also known as the alimentary canal. The gastrointestinal tract comprises of the oral cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. For the body to be able to receive energy and nutrients from food, six major functions take place in the digestive system: • Ingestion • Secretion • Mixing and movement • Digestion • Absorption •…

secretion is HCL which is a product of the parietal cells. The parietal cells are epithelial cells that secrete HCL and essential factors. Parietal cells are located in the gastric glands in the lining of the fundus and in the body of the stomach. The capacity of the stomach to secrete HCL is related to amount of parietal cell. Parietal cells accept receptors for three stimulators of acid secretion which are Acetylcholine, Gastrin,…

Warren made a list of patients who had curved bacteria on their biopsies and needed help following up with a diagnosis. Dr. Marshall agreed to assist in researching the spiral bacteria in hopes of finding questions on one of his patients having sever stomach pains without a proper diagnoses. It was Dr. Marshall who noticed that cultures from a campylobacter jejuni and the curved microorganism on the cultures taken from the gastro patients were similar. Campylobacter organisms are spiral-shaped…

supply, and the renewal of the damaged epithelial cells. The H-pylori’s ability to induce inflammation, stimulates the release of cytokines and other mediators of inflammation to contribute to the mucosal damage. The infection in the antrum of the stomach will lead to hypergastrinemia and an increased acid production. The increase in the acid in the duodenum will impair duodenal bicarbonate production, thus reducing the luminal pH in the duodenum. This promotes the development of gastric…

The letters GERD stand for gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Basically it’s any disease caused by reflux of stomach of gastric contents into the esophagus. The classic symptom is heartburn. After eats one eats a few minutes to an hour they develop a burning sensation in their upper abdomen this burning could go all the way up behind the breast bone and into the throat, may have complaints of coughing or wheezing. They might get up at night with these symptoms. They may have swallowing…

viscous substance into a smooth liquid. Ingestion proceeds with the action of swallowing which transfers the liquid from the mouth through the throat and into the esophagus. Peristalsis begins and guides the liquid into the stomach by a downward contracting motion. The stomach is another major compartment of saccharide modification where amylases, secreted by the pancreas, further break down complex sugars to produce glucose, fructose, galactose and mannose. Absorption takes place when the…

and aiding the passage of foods through the esophagus to the stomach. The mucosa layer consists of squamous cells that made up the innermost epithelium lining of the esophagus (Smith and Shinohara, 2015). Esophageal cancers are often related to the mutations in gland…
