Professor`s name: Course number: Date: Metabolic Pathways of Drugs The principal site for drug metabolism in the human body is the liver organ. The process of metabolism usually inactivates drugs though some drug metabolites are pharmacologically in active status. Inactive substance which has a metabolite that is active is referred to as a prodrug. Drugs are metabolized by the following

M1- Discuss the role of energy in the body In our bodies we need energy so that we could do things that are possible such as; move our muscles‚ talk and all the other things that we do. Without energy all humans would be useless not being able to do anything. Energy is needed to extract the oxygen from the areas in our bodies and diffuse it into our bloodstream. As warm blooded we can only digest food and function if our bodies are at a certain temperature and have enough energy‚ and energy is

consumed‚ can turn into fuel for the human body? Using the digestive system and its many organs through the process of digestion and metabolism is how our bodies receive the energy it needs to continue on throughout the day and the rest of our lives. Chemistry then kicks in as food starts its process from entering to leaving the body‚ through the rate of our metabolism‚ and also by the transfer of energy. The chemistry in the digestive system is a very important process‚ because without it there would

Help maintain the balance of living organisms and chemicals in our environment. Marine and fresh water microorganisms form the bases of the food chain in oceans‚ lakes‚ and ricers. Soil microbes help break down wastes and incorporate nitrogen gas from the air into organic compounds‚ thereby recycling chemical

This assignment will describe the role of energy in the body and explain the physiology of two named body system in relation to energy metabolism. It will explain where energy comes from‚ how the body uses energy‚ what is metabolism/catabolism and anabolism and also it will explain cellular respiration aerobic/anaerobic is. Energy is necessary for muscular activity and movement however‚ energy is also necessary to circulate blood and lymph and tissue fluid throughout the body; for breathing and

B. submucosa: site of glands‚ blood vessels‚ lymph vessels and nerve plexuses. C. muscularis: circular and longitudinal muscles for propulsion and mixing. D. serosa: serous membrane to reduce friction with movement. 2. Where along the GI tract is the muscularis composed of skeletal tissue? Is control of this skeletal muscle‚ voluntary

The respiratory and cardiovascular systems work in different ways with different functions in realtion to the metabolism and with the use of energy. The cardiovascular system in the human body is made up of the heart and blood vessels‚ which are divided into arteries‚ veins and capillaries. The heart is responsible for pumping the blood throughout the blood vessels and is divided into four chambers‚ two of which are responsible for moving deoxygenated blood and two of which move oxygenated blood

factor to a person’s obesity would be their metabolism. Metabolism consists of two processes: Anabolism‚ which is the buildup of substances‚ and catabolism‚ which is the breakdown of substances. If a person’s catabolism is slow‚ the person does not break down food and other substances as fast as they normally should. This leads to unused calories‚ which leads to weight gain. This goes person to person; however‚ if your family had a history of bad metabolisms‚ the chance of you having a slow one is very
