Digestive System

INTERACTING WITH OTHER SYSTEMS The excretory system is a close partner with both the circulatory and endocrine system. The circulatory system connection is obvious. Blood that circulates through the body passes through one of the two kidneys. Urea, uric acid, and water are removed from the blood and most of the water is put back into the system.

The endocrine system is the major controller of the excretory system. As levels of compounds and fluids are monitored, kidney function must be constantly altered to provide the best internal environment for your cells. If you drink too much water, hormones are released that allow for more urine production. If you are dehydrated, less urine will be produced. The kidneys are also tied to the endocrine system with the adrenal gland position on the top of each kidney. The adrenals release adrenaline into your body

ALL of the body systems work together.

The organs that are involved with excretion are in different systems of the body. The systems containing these organs are the integumentary, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urinary.

bile salts emulsify fats and solubilize them ,thus the are absorbed.

Bile salt is completely necessary for digestion in the body. They help to break down the fat in our body that otherwise could not be digested. The bile salts help to break down the fat molecules into smaller parts, and they are then easily digestible by the small and large intestine.

After the bile salts are done doing their job, they are returned back to the liver and recycled, and are used again when they are needed. Bile salts are basically sodium based salts that are all derived from the liver.

The most obvious factual meaning for "cut the cheese" is simply the slicing or dicing of cheeses. However, from there, the meaning becomes, well, rather 'cheesy'.

First, many cheeses have an odoriferous quality, meaning-- they stink to high heaven! For examples, Blue Cheese smells pretty strong.

Second, any milk or milk products are considered gas-producing foods. Milk and other dairy products contain a sugar called lactose. Lactose needs an enzyme lactase to be digested. If you lack enough of that enzyme, it can be difficult for your digestive tract to process cheese, ice cream, milk, which all contain lactose. If not properly digested, lactose can cause excessive intestinal gas. Some foods as they digest get an even stronger odor because bacteria in the intestines produces methane as a by-product of the organism's activities. If gas came as a result of eating an already smelly food, digestion turned it into the granddaddy of all things 'odoriferous'!

Third, our bodies must expel gas; it can cause severe pain if we don't. Passing gas, called Flatulence, occurs in ALL people, of ALL ages, in both women and men. However, more women also suffer gallbladder disease by middle age and without bile to digest fat (which is also found in dairy products along with the lactose sugar), ANYone with a bad gallbladder can have terrible trouble with extremely painful gas. As well, the elderly often have digestive problems and higher incidence of flatulence.

Fourth, people have always made fun of bodily functions. But they lived in a polite society, so tended to find "polite ways" to describe the noisy embarrassments our bodies make. Women in the 1800s, even if they knew the medical term flatulence, would have swooned, fainted, or preferred to die before they'd ever use such a word in public or in mixed company to describe a very private body nuisance!

Ironically, even before laypersons knew medical and scientific terms like lactose, they recognized that when Great-Auntie or Grandpa ate their favorite cheeses or ice cream, they could turn the air around them vile green with just one "passing of gas". But of all the dairy products, the smelliest were those horridly odoriferous types of cheese!

So, to "cut the cheese" was used as a polite, humorous way to comment on someone else's Flatulence!

Of course, if they "cut the cheese" while "cutting the rug" (meaning they were thoroughly enjoying dancing), a flatulent person could surely ruin any party and chase away party-goers who then went home to cut the rug and cut the cheese in the privacy of their own homes!

And that my dear is the story of "cutting the cheese".

Absolutely not. Coffee has no benefit to digestion.

• Coffee increases the acidity in your digestive system due to the oils, acids and compounds it contains, such as caffeine. Over time this will weaken the linings of your system and make you vulnerable to problems such as ulcers.
• Caffeine has a relaxant effect on the esophageal sphincter muscle. This muscle stops acid escaping your stomach. When it is relaxed, hot, stinging acid will leak from your stomach causing acid reflux and heartburn.
• The acidic effect in coffee provides the perfect breeding grounds for Helicobacter Pylori bacteria. This bacteria causes irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, Crohn's disease, colitis and ulcers.
• Coffee stimulates the gastric emptying of your stomach before food has had a chance to properly digest. Much like a laxative. Meaning your body doesn't get all the nutrients and essentials from the food you digested with the coffee.
• Caffeine in coffee is a strong diuretic. This means that it causes large amounts of fluids to be flushed through the kidneys, leading to frequent urination which can cause loss of minerals, loss of nutrients and dehydration. In fact, doctors recommend that patients who had a kidney removed should avoid coffee as much as possible.
• Coffee is known to restrict the absorption of magnesium, calcium and zinc into your body, which are crucial minerals. Coffee also heavily impairs iron absorption in the stomach. Many nutritionists ban their clients from drinking coffee.
• Coffee stimulates the brain to release cortisol, norepinephrine and epinephrine. These are hormones that cause depression and anxiety.
• The caffeine increases the heart rate and blood pressure, making the drinker more prone to stress. Those with an excessive coffee addiction may suffer heart complications.
• Coffee beans are known to interfere with gamma-aminobutyric acid in the body. This acid is important for regulating metabolism, stress management, mood management and anger management. Many counsellors ban clients from drinking coffee.

Tea is the opposite of coffee. Tea has many benefits to the body. Depending on the type of tea, it can also aid digestion. Tea is recommended by nutritionists while they are critical towards coffee.
