Food contains : 1-Carbohydrates   2-Fat or lipid   3-Proteins .\nFirst of all most carbohydrates are transformed into glucose units that the cell uses to get its needs of ATP through glycolysis and citric acid cycle until enough ATP is obtained then the rest is stored as glycogen .\nSecondly fat is simplified by lipolytic enzymes into triglycerides that is stored in the subcutaneous tissue and around organs or hydrolyzed into fatty acids that gives acetyl-coA that enter citric acid cycle to give energy .\nlastly proteins that enters intestine is simplified by various proteolytic enzymes into peptides then to amino acids that may be stored in body tissues or converted to glycolytic or citric acid cycle intermediates to give energy .

The small intestine is about 6 meters (20 feet) long. It is coiled in the center of the abdominal cavity (see picture). The small intestine is divided into 3 sections: upper, jejunum, and ileum. The lining of the small intestine secretes a hormone called secretin, which stimulates the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes.

Many, many functions:\n\nThe liver produces and excretes bile required for food digestion. \n\nThe liver performs several roles in carbohydrate metabolism: \nGluconeogenesis (the formation of glucose from certain amino acids, lactate or glycerol) \nGlycogenolysis (the formation of glucose from glycogen) \nGlycogenesis (the formation of glycogen from glucose) \nThe breakdown of insulin and other hormones \n\nThe liver is responsible for the mainstay of protein metabolism. \n\nThe liver also performs several roles in lipid metabolism: \nCholesterol synthesis \nThe production of triglycerides (fats). \nThe liver produces coagulation factors I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V, VII, IX, and XI, as well as protein C, protein S and antithrombin. \n\nThe liver breaks down hemoglobin, creating metabolites that are added to bile as pigment. \n\nThe liver breaks down toxic substances and most medicinal products in a process called drug metabolism. This sometimes results in toxication, when the metabolite is more toxic than its precursor. \n\nThe liver converts ammonia to urea. \n\nThe liver stores a multitude of substances, including glucose in the form of glycogen, vitamin B12, iron, and copper.

1. If the patient is NPO do you need evidence with MBS or some other tests before you do a bed side eval with different lquids and food textures? \n2. Also has anyone had experience with the National standards diets for dysphagia? Would like to know whether anyone likes the standardization, whether it works in SNF settings or not. \n3. Have you known of patients developing swallow problems after a few months after a stroke and they have become medically stabilized. What would cause such a sudden onset. Pt has developed no other problem and progressing well otherwise. Are there some medications (changes in dosages , etc., that might likely cause some side effects that affect the strength and mobility of muscles? Any thoughts on that? \nAnyone with experience with   ** Vital Stim? **   or E-stim? what's the difference? between the two instruments? \nSoem SLPs tend to say E-stim is better than Vital stim. redaing the literature both seem to be based on minimal research and the FDA approval seems to just say that the instrument is safe to use under specific conditions. \n\nMay be it help for your but i did not find anything else about this topic

The digestive tract is complete and ciliated, with a mouth, anus and complex stomach. The pattern of the stomach varies according to the mollusks diet.  Food is taken up by cells lining the digestive glands arising from the stomach, and then is passed into the blood.  Undigested materials are compressed and packaged, then discharged through the anus into the mantle cavity and are carried away from the animals in the water currents.  This packaging of wastes in solid form prevents fouling of the water passing over the gills. \n        Excretory functions are carried out by a pair of nephridia, tubular structures that collect fluids from the coelom and exchange salts and other substances with body tissues as the fluid passes along the tubules for excretion. The nephridia empty into the mantle cavity.

So far the answers are right - i will just add a little.  Yes the bile is needed to digest the fats - it has enzymes that break fat down.  However, the effects after having gall bladder taken out are short-lived, after a while breaking down fats isn't a problem again.  the reason is that your pancreas also produces fat breaking enzymes (lipases) and so you don't really lose the ability to breakdown fat by losing your gallbladder.  It just take a while for your body to adjust.

What level are you and how much information do you want? That question is like asking explain Biochemistry?\n\nAlright the basics: Carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules they can be one sugar molecule or many in a chain. The simplified answer on their main function is that serve as an energy source, they can be stored in long chains (glycogen, or starch in plants) in the short term and then broken down into smaller sugars and eventually carbon dioxide and water releasing energy.\n\nFats, also called lipids are long carbon chains and are mainly used in cell membranes and as a long term energy store. Look up lipids and triglycerides for more information.\n\nProteins are made up of chains of amino acids which fold into different shapes relating to their functions. Proteins are used as catalysts (called enzymes) and are involved in most of the chemical reactions that occur in the cells. Try looking up enzymes for more information. There are also proteins with different roles in maintaining structure or sending signals around the body.

Though your stomach can't break down a piece of gum the same way it breaks down other food, your digestive system can move it along through normal intestinal activity (in other words, it comes out the other end.) Chewing gum has five basic ingredients - sweeteners, corn syrup, softeners, flavors and gum base (the part that puts the "chew" in chewing gum). The first four ingredients are soluble, meaning they dissolve in your mouth as you chew. Gum base doesn't. And although it isn't meant to be swallowed, if it is, it simply passes through your system, just like popcorn or any other form of roughage. It starts traveling down your esophagus, into your stomach, enters the small intestine, and makes its way to the large intestine. This normally takes only a few days. \nhttp://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/05/09...

im studying the digestive system right now, so i'll have a go at this question (u may want to chec accuracy).\nthe cell gets the carbon it needs via the blood supply. when we eat, all the nutrients are broken down and molecules such as hydrogen, oxygen and carbon are filtered into the blood stream so that they can be passed on to all the cells in th body.\n\ndoes that help?

Well, it's simple.  The gall bladder is just that - a bladder.  It is a temporary holding space for bile and other digestive enzymes.  When the gall bladder is overwhelmed with formed gall stones or sludge, it contracts painfully to eliminate the blockage.\n\nWhen the gall bladder is removed, no gall stones or sludge are produced and the digestive juices flow down the re-connected common bile duct into the intestines to assist in digestion.

Ok, I'm not one to talk sh** here, but here we go...\nFeces goes through your intestines which have bacteria in them to help break down food. The kind in your intestines, stay in your intestines, and help to maintain your health. NOW- When those bacteria get into any other part of your bod, it's very bad because they release toxins, and other stuff into you that make you quite ill. I mean we naturally have E-coli in our intestines, but it's fatal if you have an E-coli infection. \n\nUrine on the other hand is sterile. You can drink it, but I don't know why on earth you would. Just because its sterile meaning without bacteria and germs, doens't mean that it doesn't still have other toxins and body waste in it. So, uh yuck, don't do it. \n\nAlways, always, always wash your hands after handling body waste. Diseases and other illnesses can still be passed on even if it was only urine...like I said it still has bad stuff in it. \n\nAnd as for the pig thing...I don't know why they weren't sick.

The primary function of the male reproductive system is reproduction, which includes the production of spermatozoa, the transportation of spermatozoa from the testes out of the male body, the secretion by glands, and the placement of spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract. Spermatozoa are produced in the testes then transported from the testes by a series of ducts which become gradually larger and connect with the urethra of the penis.  Various accessory glands in the male system secrete materials which together with the spermatozoa constitutes the semen. A secondary function of the male reproductive system is the production of the male hormones which are responsible for the secondary sex characteristics of the male animal.\n\nhttp://www.cvm.okstate.edu/instruction/mm_curr/histology/MR/himrp1.htm\n\nThe male reproductive system, like that of the female, consists of those organs whose function is to produce a new individual, i.e., to accomplish reproduction. This system consists of a pair of testes and a network of excretory ducts (epididymis, ductus deferens (vas deferens), and ejaculatory ducts), seminal vesicles, the \nprostate, the bulbourethral glands, and the penis. \n\nhttp://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_anatomy/unit12_2_repdt_male.html\n\nThe organs of the male reproductive system are specialized for the following functions:\n\nTo produce, maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive cells) and protective fluid (semen) \nTo discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract \nTo produce and secrete male sex hormones \n\n\nhttp://www.cchs.net/health/health-info/docs/2300/2376.asp?index=9117

IN A NUTSHELL-THEY REQUIRE DIFFERENT ENZYMES FOR DIGESTION AND DIFFERENT GASTRO-PH REQUIREMENT.\n \nHERE IS A MORE IN-DEPTH EXPLANATION IF YOU ARE UP TO THE LONG READ.\n\nIf protein is eaten with too many carbohydrates (bread, crackers, potato, rice, pasta) or with fruit (sugar), digestion is severely compromised. Consequently, the body becomes a breeding ground for bacteria in the gastro-intestinal tract. Moreover, such a combination contributes to higher levels of cholesterol. Eating Proteins with carbohydrates is a major cause of cholesterol problems. Perhaps one reason why cow's milk causes so many allergies is that it is a protein and carbohydrate (sugar) combination.\n\n\nSeparating these two types of food is one of the first steps to being free of allergies. The digestion of protein and carbohydrates are physiologically separate and conflicting functions. The protein is digested in an acid medium which means that the enzymes function in an acid environment. Combining protein and carbohydrates (digested in an alkaline medium) impairs the proper digestion of one or the other food. Historical and current observations show that the body opts for the digestion of the carbohydrates if both foods are present, perhaps after the principle of a "path of least resistance." Or the body opts for the digestion of the carbohydrates in mixed meals to meet immediate energy and survival needs. In this way, the body will function effectively and will be able to obtain proteins at another time.\n\n\nWhen carbohydrates (starches) are eaten, the digestive system sends forth alkaline or neutral gastric juices, such as amylase which is most efficient at an alkaline pH of 7.1 - 7.2. However, when proteins are eaten, the digestive system sends out acid gastric juices at a pH of 3, for example. If these food groups are eaten simultaneously, the gastric juices (if both are provided) cancel each other out and poor digestion results. Anything that inhibits digestion is an enemy of health. But the body is concerned with conservation of energy and does not send for conflicting digestive enzymes. Protein digestive enzymes are much more costly to the body to manufacture. If both protein and carbohydrate are eaten simultaneously, the body may only respond to the easier carbohydrate digestive process and let the protein pass through. This results in poor absorption of amino acids and poisoning of the body due to putrefying/decaying protein (i.e. rotting meat in the intestines). When a food is chewed, the ptylin or amylase enzymes in the saliva begin processing the carbohydrates.\n\n\nIf carbohydrates are prevalent, a signal is sent via the hypothalamus to the pancreas to produce more alkaline amylase enzymes to further process carbohydrate food. If protein is prevalent, the signal is sent to the pancreas to produce more protease enzymes to process the protein. The pancreas mass-produces one or the other enzyme at a time. if both proteins and carbohydrates are eaten simultaneously. The pancreas opts for pancreatic amylase (the easier enzyme to produce) for the digestion of carbohydrates and neglects the protein digestion. Usually, some carbohydrates will be eaten in any protein meal, because the vegetables so strongly advocated as absolutely essential in a protein meal contain carbohydrates. We can also add a tortilla or a few croutons to the meal and not exceed the body's ability to digest the protein. If the carbohydrates are less than 18% by volume, the body can still recognize the focus of the meal as protein and digest it accordingly. Some protein foods and some vegetables become starches when cooked for an extended period of time or at high temperatures, particularly above 200° F. Those foods include beans, corn and peas. Although dry or sprouted beans and peas are proteins, they become starches when cooked. Always have vegetables with a protein meal. In fact, if you wish to live long and vitally, you will have organic vegetables w
