The digestive system
The document summarizes the key components and functions of the digestive system. It describes the six categories of nutrients and their roles in nutrition. It then outlines the major organs that make up the alimentary canal - the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. It provides details on the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food that occurs at each stage as it travels through the digestive tract, and is ultimately broken down into nutrients that can be absorbed and used by the body.
What are digestive enzymes?
Learn more about digestive enzymes!
Enzymes are a type of protein that bring about chemical changes. Digestive enzymes are one form of these in the body, and they are also naturally present in plant-based foods, including fruit and vegetables.
Digestive enzymes help to break foods down, making them easier to digest and allowing nutrients to be absorbed.
There are a number of reasons for a lack of enzymes, such as eating a diet lacking in enzymes (such as processed fast foods etc). This can lead to partially digested food, toxin build-up and symptoms such as bloating, stomach ache and indigestion.
You can help your digestive enzymes levels by eating more enzyme-rich foods, avoiding hard-to-digest foods (such as meat or dairy) and by taking a high quality digestive enzymes supplement, derived from plant sources.

Biology 38.2
The document summarizes the key parts and processes of the digestive system, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and accessory organs like the pancreas and liver. The digestive system breaks down food through mechanical and chemical digestion so nutrients can be absorbed and used by the body's cells.
Digestive system
The document provides an overview of the major parts of the human digestive system, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, pancreas, large intestine, and rectum. It describes the functions of each part and the role they play in breaking down and absorbing food. Chemicals and enzymes from various organs help digest food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. Undigested waste then moves through the large intestine and rectum to be excreted.
Digestive system
The digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. It begins with ingestion in the mouth and moves through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and ends with waste elimination through the anus. Several organs like the liver, pancreas and gallbladder help in digestion by secreting enzymes and bile to break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed in the small intestine and used by cells. Undigested waste is moved through the large intestine and stored in the rectum before being eliminated.

Perry - Advanced Invertebrates DER
The document summarizes digestion, excretion, and respiration in various invertebrate groups. It describes the digestive systems of mollusks, annelids, arthropods including crustaceans, chelicerates, and uniramians, and echinoderms. It notes they have a mouth, esophagus, one or more stomach chambers, an intestine, and anus. It also describes their excretory structures like nephridia, green glands, Malpighian tubules, and coxal glands. Finally, it outlines their respiratory organs such as gills, lungs, book lungs, spiracles, and trachea depending on if they are aquatic or terrestrial.
Animal Digestive System
The document describes three main types of digestive systems - monogastric, avian, and ruminant. The monogastric system has a single stomach and is found in humans, pigs, horses and rabbits. The avian system in birds has no teeth and includes specialized organs like the crop, proventriculus and muscular gizzard. The ruminant system is characterized by its four chambered stomach (rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum) that allows ruminants like cattle to digest roughage. Pseudo-ruminants like horses also digest roughage but do not have a multi-chambered stomach.

Digestive System
The document discusses the digestive systems of ruminant and non-ruminant animals. Ruminants have four-compartment stomachs, with the largest being the rumen where food is partially broken down by microbes. Calves are not born with a functioning ruminant system and must develop it through proper nutrition. Non-ruminants have a single-chambered stomach and rely on digestive juices to break down food, while cecal fermenters like horses can digest roughage using bacteria in their cecum. The five processes of digestion are mechanical breakdown, peristalsis, chemical breakdown by enzymes, nutrient absorption, and metabolism of absorbed nutrients.
Class laxatives
This document discusses various types and causes of constipation and treatments. It describes laxatives and purgatives that have mild or strong actions to soften stool or induce evacuation. Bulk forming laxatives work by absorbing water to increase stool volume while osmotic laxatives retain water in the intestines. Stimulant laxatives like bisacodyl work by irritating the intestines to increase secretion. Laxatives are used to treat short-term constipation, evacuate the bowels before procedures, remove toxins, and help with worm treatments. The main actions and indications of various laxatives are outlined.
Nutrition in animals
This document provides an overview of animal nutrition and human digestion. It discusses how different animals obtain nutrition in different ways depending on their structures. It then focuses on human digestion, describing the stages of ingestion through the alimentary canal, including digestion in the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Key processes at each stage like chewing, peristalsis, secretion of acids and enzymes are explained.
Digestive system classifications
This document summarizes the key points from a course on animal nutrition:
- It outlines the course objectives which include understanding digestive systems, nutritional needs, and diseases for various species.
- It lists the required resources and assignments which are two exams, three student projects, and a final exam.
- It describes the two main classifications of digestive systems based on food source and stomach type including herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and their digestive features.
Ch14 Digestive System Overview
The document summarizes the key components and functions of the digestive system. It describes the organs that make up the digestive tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and associated structures like the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. It explains the three main stages of digestion: breakdown of food, absorption of nutrients, and metabolism. The digestive system works in an organized way to break down ingested food into smaller molecules that can be used by the body.
Drugs for constipation
This document defines constipation and discusses its causes, treatments, and risks of overuse. Constipation is difficulty passing stool or reduced bowel movements. It can be caused by lifestyle, diet, medication, or diseases. Treatments include increasing fiber, fluids, exercise, or laxatives. Laxatives are classified by onset of action and include bulk formers, stool softeners, osmotics, and stimulants. They should only be used short-term as long-term use can lead to laxative dependence and health issues like electrolyte imbalances and malabsorption.
12 Comparitive Digestion
The document summarizes different types of digestive systems among herbivores and other animals. It divides herbivores into two categories: hindgut fermenters like non-ruminants which have long intestines containing bacteria to aid digestion, and foregut fermenters like ruminants which have an enlarged rumen in the stomach to break down plant matter. Ruminants digest food through a two-step process of chewing, swallowing, and then regurgitating food to be re-chewed before full digestion.
11. Human Digestive System - E-Learning
The document provides an overview of the human digestive system and the process of digestion. It begins by explaining the importance of the digestive system in breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and used by the body. It then describes the main parts of the digestive system, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines. It details the physical and chemical digestion that occurs in each part, including the roles of enzymes from the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas and liver. The end products of digestion, such as glucose, amino acids and fatty acids, are then absorbed and used to power cellular processes.

The digestive system breaks down food and absorbs nutrients to provide energy for the body. It begins with ingestion in the mouth and moves through the esophagus into the stomach where food is further broken down with acids and enzymes. The small intestine continues to break down food with help from the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder before nutrients are absorbed. The large intestine or colon removes water from waste before it is stored in the rectum and expelled from the anus. The digestive system works through a series of organs and the use of enzymes and acids to break down food into usable nutrients for the body.

The document discusses digestion and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It covers the functions of the mouth, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and liver in digesting food. Key points include:
- The GI tract converts external elements into something usable by the body with help from the immune system.
- Poor digestion can lead to health issues, with the stomach and its production of hydrochloric acid playing a key role.
- Other factors discussed are the meridian clock, pH cycles, parasites, fiber and probiotics. A healthy GI tract relies on balancing all these systems and eating a nutritious diet.
Y7 Life 09 digestion
Digestion is the process by which food is broken down into smaller bits and nutrients are absorbed into the body. Digestion begins in the mouth through mechanical and chemical breakdown by teeth and saliva. Food then moves to the stomach through the esophagus and is further broken down by stomach acid and enzymes. Nutrients are then absorbed in the small intestine through the actions of enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder. The large intestine absorbs water before waste is expelled through the rectum and anus.

The document also discusses the types of nutrients found in food, including micronutrients and macronutrients. Additionally, it covers some common digestive disorders and their symptoms.
Human Digestive System
The digestive system of the human body comprises a group of organs working together to convert food into energy for the body. Human Digestive System and Nutrition involve the intake of food by an organism and its utilization for energy. This is a vital process which helps living beings to obtain their energy from various sources. The food which we eat undergoes much processing before the nutrients present in them are utilized to generate energy. This processing is known as digestion. The digestion process involves the alimentary canal along with various accessory organs and organ systems. In humans, the process is quite simple due to our monogastric nature. This means that we have a one-chambered stomach, unlike other animals such as cows, which have four chambers.
Chapter 14
The human digestive system involves 4 main stages: ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination. It consists of a digestive tract and accessory organs. The digestive tract includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Accessory organs that aid digestion include the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Nutrients are broken down through mechanical and chemical digestion before being absorbed in the small intestine and eliminated as waste.

Nutrition & digestive system
The document discusses the human digestive and nutrition systems. It explains that nutrients from food are broken down into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. The digestive system breaks food down mechanically and chemically. Accessory organs like the liver and pancreas produce enzymes and bile that aid digestion. Food passes through the esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines as it is broken down and absorbed. Undigested waste is eliminated as feces.
Diet and digestive system 2015
The document discusses nutrition and the digestive system. It defines nutrition as the processes by which organisms obtain and transform nutrients needed by cells. Nutrients are classified into macronutrients like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and water, and micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. The digestive system breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and removes waste. Digestion involves both mechanical and chemical breakdown of food. Enzymes produced in various glands aid in digestion before nutrients are absorbed and circulated to cells. Undigested waste is eliminated through defecation.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. All about shoulder Joint ..

Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Breast cancer :hormonal discordance.pptx
Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:
Therapeutic Resistance:
Loss of ERα or PgR can lead to resistance to endocrine therapies.
HER2 discordance affects the efficacy of HER2-targeted treatments.
Treatment Adjustment:
Regular reassessment of receptor status may be necessary to adjust treatment strategies appropriately.
Clinical Implications:
Prognosis:
Receptor discordance is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
Biopsies:
Obtaining biopsies from metastatic sites is crucial for accurate receptor status assessment and effective treatment planning.
Monitoring:
Continuous monitoring of receptor status throughout the disease course can guide personalized therapy adjustments.
Understanding and managing receptor discordance is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving the prognosis for breast cancer patients.
