probably one of the few organs that we really do not pay close attention to‚ but it is a very vital organ. The pancreas is a part of the digestive system. It is the largest organ in its system. It plays life sustaining roles in the regulation of food digestion and blood glucose levels. The anatomy of the pancreas helps us to understand each part and each section and how it pertains to the body. It is also very to study the physiology‚ because it tells us the functions of the pancreas and how it works.

Pancreatitis The pancreas is a large gland positioned beside the duodenum and behind the stomach whose primary function is to enhance the digestion of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fat by secreting special digestive enzymes into the small intestine. It secretes the hormones insulin‚ glucagon‚ pancreatic polypeptide and somatostatin into the bloodstream to facilitate blood glucose metabolism (Huether & McCance‚ 2017‚ p. 901-902). Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas which can be characterized

The process of circulation and digestion is carried out through diffusion. • The Monera kingdom includes all bacteria that may infect animals‚ humans and plants. But most of the members are termed as beneficial bacteria‚ rather than pathogenic bacteria. • The Monerans kill organisms causing

The liver produces bile‚ which helps digestion and absorption of dietary lipids. The pancreas produce molecules and enzymes which also help digestion. G.

How can digestion rates give information to forensic scientists about the time of death? Digestion stops whenever somone dies so that means investigators can look at how far along a food eaten by the viticm is along in the digestion process. 4. What is mummification? Mummification is the drying of tissues and bones. 5. How can human bones give forensic scientists an indication

On the other hand‚ formula is said to be as close to breast milk as the companies can create it‚ but they do not contain the antibodies like breast milk‚ baby’s digestion system is more gastric‚ and the cost is expensive.

Peroxisomes are membrane-bound packets of oxidative enzymes that help convert fatty acids to sugar and assist chloroplasts in photorespiration. Four big parts within the cell are the vacuole‚ the chloroplast‚ and the cytosol‚ and the cell wall. The vacuole is a membrane sac that works the intracellular digestion and release of cellular waste products. Vacuoles are

3. List 4 abdominal organs that you observed. Describe their position relative to each other using correct anatomical terms. (Rachel Mindel) The pancreas is located in the upper abdomen‚ is posterior to the stomach and some parts are in between both the stomach and the spine. The right side of the organ which is called the head‚ is nestled in the curve of the duodenum (juncture where the stomach meets the first part of the small intestine). The tapered left side of the organ is called the body

So what is digestion? It is the complicated process of converting the food you eat into nutrients that your body can use for energy‚ growth and cell repair needed for survival. The digestion process not only takes in nutrients but also eliminates the waste products from your food. The digestive system is a series of long twisted tubes that start at your mouth and goes all the way down to your anus. It’s made up of different tissues that have important functions in breaking down the food. Here
