Small intestine removal when can i drink alcohol?
If you are asking yourself when you can start drinking again, I would suggest reading "Alcohol's Role in Gastrointestinal Tract Disorders" by Christiane and Christian Bode, available online.
When I had a section of small intestine removed two months ago I asked myself 'To what extent did my drinking of alcohol contribute to the problem?' I considered myself a fairly heavy drinker. I decided it was time to quit.
A fluid secreted into the small intestine during digestion?
A fluid secreted into the small intestine during digestion is a bile. A bile contains cholesterol, emulsification agents, and phospholipids.
Can large intestines move out of place?
Large intestines are normally held in place by the adipose tissue inside the abdominal wall. If a hole develops in the tissue for any reason, the large intestine may partially move out of place as part of the intestine slips into the opening, creating a hernia.
What is the normal net filtration pressure?
is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure.
NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure
Im going to say 50-80mm based on my experience but thats pushing it hehe...
Measure the diameter of a large (2-litre) Coke bottle, coz that's the pic I saw of what a woman was inserting in her anus.
What are loosely coiled fibers containing protein and DNA within nucleus?
Chromatin is the generic term for DNA (not "fiber") wound around proteins called histones. From the description you've given, it sounds like you're talking about euchromatin.
There are generally two types of chromatin: euchromatinand heterochromatin. Under the microscope, heterochromatin tends to stay at the periphery of the nucleus, while euchromatin tends to stay central in the nucleus. Also microscopically, euchromatin is a bit lighter (ie, it doesn't stain as heavily) than heterochromatin, reflecting the fact that euchromatin is less dense than heterochromatin. The decreased density has to do with euchromatin being loosely wound around histones, whereas heterochromatin is wound rather tightly. Heterochromatin also has a number of other chromatin-modifying proteins around that prevent it from coming undone easily.
The functional difference between the two types of chromatin has to do with how effectively DNA transcription (the process by which DNA is transcribed to RNA) can occur. The dense heterochromatin is so tightly wound and so tightly packed with associated proteins that the DNA transcription machinery can't get access to the DNA contained within the heterochromatin. Only the loosely wound euchromatin will permit the machinery to gain access to its DNA. Therefore, generally euchromatin contains DNA that is being actively transcribed, while heterochromatin is transcriptionally silent.
THE ANSWER IS CHROMATIN!!
Why do you need 5 a day fruit and vegetable?
There are several reasons why you need five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. These foods provide a good source of nutrients and are an excellent source of fiber. Fruits and vegetables also reduce the risk of many terminal illnesses.
What is the most unhealthy food in the world?
This is a strange question as one could just answer "poison" if they were so inclined. For food, however, it's hard to narrow down to one particular food. I'd say something along the lines of "cool whip", because it contains HFCS and hydrogenated oils. When these two things are combined and consumed you have trouble.
How is small intestine adapted for absorption of food?
The small intestines leads the stuff from the stomach to the large intestine, it is very long and has a large surface area. At the start, as food exits the stomach, bile is added to the mixture and this helps to break down more of the food into its chemical constituents. As the food passes down the small intestine by muscular movements called peristalsis, the chemical are absorbed by the small intestine and go into the hepatic portal vein which joins the small intestine to the liver. When food reaches the end of the small intestine, all the nutrients have been absorbed and in the large intestine water is then recovered and the semi solid stool formed before the waste is excreted.
Length of large intestine in fetal pig?
Fetal pigs are most often used in dissection classes because aspects of their biology closely resembles ours. The large intestine of a fetal pig is typically 1-3 feet in length.
statistics show that if you eat farts you grow broccoli in ur but hole and then you can eat it and the cow roars like a kitten that is naw on a Saturday morning no night ya i meanat night is the answer to ur answer! luv you!
Does pepto bismol cause black stool?
yes it can i found this and other links in my search. http://ibdcrohns.about.com/cs/otherdiseases/a/blackstool.htm
The first part of the small intestine is called?
The first portion of the small intestine is a small curved portion called "duodenum".
if you eat pistachios, fries, or non ripe bananas. also if you eat mint ice cream, it will turn your poop a sickly greenish color. it's okay though, because green poop has been known to heal cuts. if you do business in a squirt gun, you can shoot it all over your wound. People in the army do it.
Male and female humans have the same anatomical structure of the anus (exit from the colon for solid wastes), but different configurations for the urethra (which carries liquid from the kidneys leaving the bladder).
In human females, the urethra exits the body just over the vagina, and has no accurate directional control of the urine stream. This often results in contact with the labia or skin surfaces and requires wiping. In males, the urethra travels through the penis, and the urine stream can be directed with some accuracy. In uncircumcised males, the urine may come in contact with the foreskin unless it is retracted. The reason for the anatomical difference is that the male urethra also carries semen from the testes during sexual intercourse.
The effect is that boys usually urinate in a standing position, while girls will either sit (toilet) or squat (other sanitary facilities), and girls are more likely to use tissues or cloths afterwards.
Except for metabolic differences that may result in changes to the lower bowel function (e.g. during pregnancy and menstruation), the male and female colons have no essential differences. Both sexes expel fecal matter in the same manner.
When you eat food, your digestive system (including the stomach and intestines) digests the food, drawing nutrients, fats, sugars, etc. from the food. After the body has absorbed what it wants or needs to absorb, the rest of the food is then passed through and out of the system in the form of feces.
How long is the frogs small intestine?
The lenght of a small intestine realates to its function and purpose. The finction of the small intestine is o transport foos throught the body. It os also to transport all nutrients from the food through the body to provide energy all around the body. The small intestine has to be long to be able to go through all the body and deliver all nutrients and energy for the body. It is also needed to be able to process all the food correctly and help do the full digestive system.
How often do people get cancer?
Unfortunately, there is no one answer for this question. Every cancer is different, every body is different. Depending on the type of cancer, one can have cancer for years and not know it. Other times, a cancerous tumor can cause problems that immediately affect the patient's health. When my son developed difficulty breathing, the doctor began treating him for asthma. When the asthma treatments weren't working and his breathing became worse, my son was admitted into the hospital for advanced testing. A CT scan revealed a massive tumor invading his lung. It turned out to be a very aggressive form of lymphoma. Strangely enough, a good friend of mine was diagnosed with a lesser aggressive form of lymphoma only a few months prior to my son. Her doctor told her she'd probably had it for several years. Her tumors were small but by the time they found it, the cancer had spread to her bone marrow. (FYI, my son was treated with aggressive chemo and radiation and has been in remission for almost 2 years. My friend is still receiving periodic chemo treatments.) If for some reason you suspect you may have cancer, please don't rely on the fact that you "feel fine". On the flip side, if you're feeling sick, it doesn't mean it's cancer. Only a doctor's diagnosis will tell you.
Why does your stomache hurt and you cant poop?
You are probably constipated, haven't gone to the bathroom for a couple of days. If you don't eat something fresh like carrots or fruit, then it will be very difficult to have a bowel movement. Eat your fruits veggies and make yourself time in the morning to go to the bathroom when you don't feel rushed.
Meanwhile, to relieve your current distress, ask the druggist for an over the counter medication for relief of constipation; there are many effective ones on the market.
How come sometimes your feces becomes different colors sometimes?
The thing that makes (ahem) fecal matter brown is a potent brownish-yellow pigment called bilirubin, which is found in the bile. It's what is left over when red blood cells die off and decompose, as they normally do throughout your life.
Bilirubin is taken out of the blood by the liver. There it's concentrated and shunted around some until it winds up in the intestines and gets excreted.
Hemoglobin is the red "dye " in your blood When red cells die they get broken down by the liver and some of the hemoglobin is lost (mostly defective (worn out) molecules) and is excreated via the bile duct. Hemoglobin decays with time (ever see a black eye heal) and as it does it changes color, from red to green to yellow to brown (Just like leaves on trees every fall - but they start green 'cause it's chlorophyll). You can guess how fast the bowels are passing material by the color of the stools, and if it's gray, you know the patient has liver problems.
What is the length of a cat small intestine?
the sheep's intestine when streched out is 15.20 metres roughly
When you pass gas do poop particles come out?
not usually unless you have loose stool, then it may require some care.
What two organs help the small intestine break down food?
The gall bladder and the pancreas is the correct answer. Some say the liver and the pancreas, but actually the liver produces the bile, but it is mostly stored in the gall bladder which secretes it into the duodenum, so the liver does not directly secrete the bile into the small intestine.
What happens if you dont poop for days?
If you don't poop for a week, you will die. You will die because your stomach would be filled with food that hasn't been broken down into waste yet. Your body wouldn't be able to function without making a poop.
