When a shunt drains to the abdomen
In electrical engineering, shunt means 'parallel'.
The effect of current shunt feedback in an amplifier is to The effect of current shunt feedback in an amplifier is to
'Shunt' is an archaic term, meaning 'in parallel with'. So a 'shunt coil' is connected 'in parallel' with... With what, of course, depends upon what sort of device you are talking about. For example the field coil of a d.c. shunt-connected motor has its field winding connected in parallel ('shunt') with the supply.
A shunt is inserted in the head to relieve water pressure on the brain.

pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
The Hexose monophophate shunt is involved in the production of Glutathione, this molecule helps relieve the oxidative stress that RBC come under from carrying O2. with out this anti oxident RBC can be damaged.
The connecting link between the hexose monophosphate shunt (pentose phosphate pathway) and lipid synthesis is the generation of NADPH. NADPH produced during the pentose phosphate pathway is utilized as a reducing equivalent in the fatty acid synthesis pathway. This NADPH provides the necessary reducing power for the synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA.
erythrocyte membrane lipid prone to oxidative damage caused by free redicals. HMP pathway produce NADP+ H which provide reducing equivalent to antioxidant like catalase, supeoxide dismutase and glutathione.
AMP stands for adenosine monophosphate, a nucleotide that plays a role in cellular energy metabolism and signal transduction pathways within cells. It also serves as a building block for the synthesis of RNA molecules.
Hexose sugar are monosaccharides containing six carbon back bone in it.
The HMP (Hexose Monophosphate) pathway is a metabolic pathway that generates NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate. It is important for generating reducing power (NADPH) and nucleotide precursors for processes like fatty acid synthesis and nucleotide synthesis. This pathway is also known as the pentose phosphate pathway.
Guanosine monophosphate
hexose
The most common hexose sugar in living organisms is glucose.
In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.
