Anatomy and Histology of the Small and Large Intestine MACROSCOPIC FEATURES Small Intestine The small intestine is a specialized tubular structure within the abdominal cavity in continuity with the stomach proximally and the colon distally. The small bowel increases 20 times in length with aging‚ from 200 cm in the newborn to almost 6 m in the adult‚ and its length is approximated by three times the length of the infant‚ or height of the child or adult.[1] The duodenum‚ the most proximal

Lipid Digestion The process of mastication is our only conscious act in the digestion of the foods we consume. After that‚ it’s out of sight‚ out of mind; but should it be? What does it take to transform that last swallow into the energy our body needs to sustain itself? In the case of lipid digestion‚ the real magic occurs throughout the gastrointestinal tract with a synergistic collaboration from the accessory organs: the liver‚ gallbladder and pancreas. Understanding the whole process of digestion

Living Digestion The first step in the journey of a sandwich is the mouth‚ where mastication occurs. The salivary glands secrete saliva which includes enzyme amylase. The teeth masticate and reduce the food into smaller pieces. The tongue moves the food around and enables swallowing. While the food is being broken into smaller pieces‚ amylase breaks down the carbohydrates found in the bread. After chewing (or mastication) is done‚ the food moves down the esophagus through peristalsis. The epiglottis

Studying primate dentition is a relatively old topic. There have been many studies conducted to find more information on primate dental morphology. The research is conducted to try and distinguish the relationship between diet and primate dentition. Primate teeth have several functions‚ but their primary function is the mastication of food. Their dental morphology reflects the various functions demanded by the variety of food types—shearing‚ chopping‚ grinding. Generally‚ incisors function chiefly

The Story of a Cheese Sandwich. A cheese sandwich is made up of – well‚ bread and cheese. The bread’s made of carbohydrates and fibre and the cheese of fat‚ protein and calcium. First the sandwich is chewed with our teeth; the incisor teeth and canine teeth bite it into chunks. The premolar and molar’s grind the chunks of food into much smaller pieces. Saliva’s produced that helps the food become a paste. Here‚ the amylase enzymes turn the starch molecules (from the bread) into maltose – which

“Mommy mommy mommy!” “Yes sweetheart.” “Can we get a cheeseburger?” “Sure‚ but do you know how the cheeseburger is digested” “No.” “Do you want to know?” “Sure.” “First the burger goes through the mouth” “What is a ‘mouth’?” “A mouth is a part of the body where people use mechanical digestion and use their teeth to break down their food. With the help of saliva produced by the salivary glands‚ which produce enzymes‚ food is able to be broken down further. This is also the place where ingestion takes

Barium Swallow A Barium swallow is a radiography contrast technique performed to visualize the esophageal portion of the Upper Gastrointestinal tract. Contrast Medium is taken orally and the lumen of the Esophagus is fluoroscopically visualized. Standard X-ray films are normally taken prior to administration of the contrast medium and these are useful in detecting perforation‚ presence of radiopaque foreign substances and gastric wall thickening. Oral contrast mediums‚ such as barium sulfate highlight
