These hollow organs make up the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract is aided by four accessory organs‚ the salivary glands‚ liver‚ gallbladder‚ and pancreas.

human body. The brain’s first structure is the myelencephalon‚ which is also called the medulla. The myelencephalon is known as the most posterior part of the brain. The structure of the myelencephalon is made up of bundles of axons called tracts. These tracts carry signals between the rest of the body and the brain. The myelencephalon also contains a reticular formation‚ which consists of a complex system of 100 tiny nuclei occupy the central core of the brain stem from the bottom extremity of the

researching‚ the role of dipstick urinalysis in diagnosing urinary tract infections in older adults residing in health care facilities to phase three by implementing my findings into practice. The first step in this process would be to “educate clinicians and other stakeholders about new practice to be adopted” (Melnyk‚ 2015). In this case evidence shows that dipstick urinalysis alone should not be used to diagnosis urinary tract infections in the elderly. However‚ with symptoms present can be used

Pelvic fistulas in women refer to pathological communications between the urinary or gastrointestinal tract and the genital organs. The majority of urogenital fistulas relate to obstetric or postsurgical complications‚ less often to pelvic malignancy and radiation therapy. Anovaginal and rectovaginal fistulas result from obstetric trauma‚ including prolonged labor and perineal lacerations‚ whereas inflammatory bowel diseases account for fewer cases. A wide range of examinations‚ including intravenous

The digestive system is a group of organs working together to convert food into energy and basic nutrients to feed the entire body. Food passes through a long tube inside the body known as the alimentary canal or the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). The alimentary canal is made up of the oral cavity‚ pharynx‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small intestines‚ and large intestines. In addition to the alimentary canal‚ there are several important accessory organs that help your body to digest food but do not

“foregut fermenters”‚ or ruminants‚ which have pouches with microbes in the stomach. These microbes consume glucose from cellulose but produce fatty acids that the animal can use for energy. Microbes can also be digested further along the digestive tract as they are also a source of protein. Foregut fermentation‚ or rumination‚ is a slower digestive process‚ but has the advantage of providing more nutrients and wasting less energy. Foregut fermenters include: Cattle Kangaroos and Wallabies Ruminants

To obtain a general effect‚ the drug is usually given by oral or parenteral route. The choice depends on the drug i.e. the existence of preparations appropriate for these uses and on the state of the patient.

The urinary tract consists of the kidneys‚ bladder‚ ureters‚ and urethra. The function of the urinary tract is to filter waste and extra fluid from the bloodstream and remove them from the body. The kidneys work to prevent the buildup of wastes and extra fluid in the body‚ keep electrolyte levels stable‚ make hormones to help regulate blood pressure‚ make red blood cells‚ and keep bones strong. The kidneys manufacture urine. Urine moves from the kidneys to the bladder through the ureters. The bladder
