Leaving the stomach‚ the partially broken down food (chyme) passes through the pyloric sphincter then enters the small intestine. This is the site where all terminal digestion of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and lipids occur including the absorption of amino acids and glucose. Here‚ the pancreas then excretes a large amount of bicarbonate

Hypertension Normal ABP : the pressure exerted by blood on the vessel wall of the arterial system from the beginning of the aorta to the start of the arterioles‚ it is about 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic. Arterial blood pressure (ABP) = cardiac output (CO) X total peripheral resistance Hypertension : sustained elevation of the systemic ABP > 139 mmHg systolic & > 89 mmHg diastolic. Therefore : so long as CO is constant is relatively constant ; a change in the ABP is mainly due
