portal vein. Because the fact that the liver produces bile it is considered a gland. The liver is part of the digestive system. This system consists of the stomach, small intestine,large intestine, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. The first three organs listed are used to move and/or absorb food,
When the food is passed into the small intestines it is mixed with three liquid. It includes bile which is a bitter greenish-brown alkaline fluid that aids digestion and is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Pancreatic juice which is obviously made by the pancreas and intestinal juice. In addition, they’re also enzymes including
Introduction: The salivary glands are exocrine glands which have two functions,firstly is the production of saliva which helps the passage of food through the oesophagus to the stomach, secondly the salivary enzymes which are responsible for the breakdown of nutrients so it is responsible for the first step of digestion. The salivary glands are divided into major and minor groups.The major glans are three pairs which are the parotid, submandibular and sublingual while the minor glands are numerous
INTRODUCTION Peptic ulcers are also known as “ulcus pepticum”. An ulcer is defined as a non malignant mucosal lesion of the stomach. It occurs due to exposure of stomach and duodenum to pepsin and gastric acid. Peptic ulcer is due to imbalance occurs between aggressive factors like acid, pepsin, H. pylori and defensive factors such as gastric mucus, nitric oxide and growth factors bicarbonate ions and prostaglandins, mucosal blood1. Local mechanisms implicated in mucosal defence are mucus-bicarbonate
Toxocariasis, also known as the dog and cat roundworm is a zoonotic disease which means it is spread through animal to human without having to have direct contact.

A while ago I did the same thing but with a blanket and duct tape since the top bunk had a railing on it. The reason why I did it was because I was sharing a bunkbed with my brother and the house was always very loud, completely filled with people who were always making lots of noise. The basement bedroom was

A few months ago, I got myself a new vehicle. A beautiful 2014 GMC Arcadia Denali and I love it. This car is the most I've ever spent on a car even with the deal I got. However, with a baby on the way it was well worth it. I have always wanted to add my car to my organization arsenal but hadn't gotten around to it. Then a real winter stormed into Georgia a few years back and I almost got stranded. Now, to be honest I still didn't get my car together. So what finally got my butt in gear? Why, the
the gallbladder and bile ducts that may have been missed. It can also visualize the pancreas for abnormalities. In magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, the MRCP uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a noninvasive procedure that produces cross-section images of parts of the body. After being lightly sedated, the patient lies in a cylinder looking tube. The technician injects dye into the patient’s veins, which helps show the pancreas, gallbladder, pancreatic and bile ducts. This is another sensitive
form in your gallbladder, which is a small pear-shaped organ on the right side below the liver. Gallstones usually are as little as small grain of sand and as large as a golf ball.

Primary palate: Between the embryological period of week six and seven, formation of the primary palate takes place. The primary palate develops due to the merging of the medial and lateral nasal prominences with each other, and then the merging of the maxillary and
The surgery is associated with many avoidable complications and hence requires a serious and cautious approach .The frequency of bile duct injury remains fairly constant .The seriousness of this complication relates in part of problems of biliary fistula and uncontrolled sepsis and in part to the technical difficulties of successful repair of bile duct injuries. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now replaced open cholecystectomy as the first-choice of treatment for gallstones unless there
only after many years of progressive occlusion of the liver bile ducts. With a liver and immune system in good health the ability to destroy virus material is effective and you will rarely be ill. But, if the liver is toxic then it can 't defend itself against viral infections. The liver cell 's ability to deal with toxins, drugs, food additives, etc., is greatly impaired by the presence of gallstones. Gallstones stuck in the bile duct leading to the duodenum or in fibrous tissue is the most common
