Small intestine

The Human Digestive System is the bodily system where the organs (mouth, throat, colon, small intestines, esophagus, stomach, rectum and anus) all get to interact with each other. The function of the Human Digestive System is to break down and process foods that’s consumed and also get rid of waste from the body. (BOOK) Homeostasis is shown by the human digestive system through the process of disintegrating foods into different ways that can be consumed and controlled by bodily cells. In this…

All of the above, are major risk factors for the formation of gallstones. Cholelithiasis patients should avoid fatty food meals as they result in high cholesterol intake which can’t be digested as the gallbladder cant stimulate bile into the small intestine. If the patients eat fatty foods the gallbladder will try to release bile and as a result it will cause pain in the abdomen. Large meals should also be avoided as they contribute to fat intake and the food isn’t able to be digest. (Saxelby,…

elevation of ammonia levels in the bloodstream, Hyperammonemia, is usually indicative of liver or kidney insufficiency or failure or drug and alcohol abuse. Hyperammonemia could also be indicative of failure of other organ such as heart and small and large intestines (Lewis, 1030). Hyperammonemia can have…

Gastroparesis is a digestive system disorder; gastroparesis affects the stomach muscles. This disorder causes weakening of the stomach muscles, this causes poor churning and mixing of food by the stomach contractions and the normal movement of the stomach muscles that propel the food forward through the digestive tract is slowed down or in some cases they completely stop working. This prevents the food form being emptied from the stomach. Diet changes can be used to treat this condition.…

in charge of mixing it’s digestive “juices” with the food so that it can be broken down efficiently. The “juices” are created in glands in the lining of the stomach and they which then help break down the food so it is able to pass through the small intestine. When your stomach is cancer free it works normally and…

“Gastro” is a term that means stomach, while “Paresis” means weakness. Gastroparesis commonly referred as gastric emptying is a digestive disorder in which the food movement from the stomach to small intestine slows down or gets abnormal. In order to move food from the stomach to small intestine the stomach contracts. The stomach muscles are regulated by the vagus nerves. In order to break down food and movement food over gastrointestinal tract, the stomach muscle controlled by vagus nerve…

(CT), which is generally the most effective way to diagnose pancreatitis; endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), during this procedure an endoscope is placed down the throat, into the stomach, and through the first part of the small intestine; a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can also be used in detection, this technique uses radio waves to create better detailed images of the organs. Sometimes the cause is never known. In fact, in 15% of cases of acute pancreatitis and 20% of…

Lucy also consume carbohydrates such as berries and oranges, (the process in which the food moves down from the mouth to the rectum is the same as above.) it is first digested mechanically by chewing. The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth by salivary enzyme, amylase, the fruits starches are digested into maltose and disaccharide. As the food travels through the esophagus to the stomach, no significant digestion of carbohydrates takes place as the HCl in the stomach stops amylase…

with a gastroenterologist is sometimes necessary. 1. What is gastroenterology? The gastroenterology is concerned with the study of the digestive system and the treatment of related diseases. It treats the organs (esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus) as well as the digestive glands (liver, bile ducts, pancreas).
