This nonfiction science reader will help fifth grade students gain science content knowledge while building their reading comprehension and literacy skills. This purposefully leveled text features hands-on, challenging science experiments and full-color images. Students will learn all about the process of digestion, the human digestive system, and much more through this engaging text that supports STEM education and is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards. Important text features like a glossary and index will improve students close reading skills.
Food research (and funding) is becoming more and more focused on health. While researchers and product developers have made great strides in food engineering, there needs to be increased focus on what happens when the food is actually digested. How is the food absorbed? Do the benefits remain? Digestion is a complex topic, and this will be the first book aimed at food researchers. Authored by a physiologist and a food engineer, the book will be a welcome addition to the literature.
In this book, text covers the core anatomy and physiology. Coverage of the necessary basic science is clinically driven - clinical cases used throughout chapters. In addition to the extensive use of cases throughout the book, the final chapter gives a coverage of the major diseases of the system, equipping students for the much earlier contact with patients which occurs under the new curriculum. Contents - Overview of the digestive system. Mouth and oesophagus. The stomach basic functions. The stomach control. Pancreas exocrine functions. Liver and biliary system. Small intestine. Digestion and absorption. Absorptive and post-absorptive states. The colon. Gastrointestinal pathology.
How long are your intestines? Why are healthy teeth so important to the digestive system? How does alcohol affect the digestive system? Investigate the miracles of the human body with Body Focus. Find out about the body parts and systems that enable us to eat, run, jump, think, and feel. Discover what sort of things can go wrong with our bodies, form common illnesses to more unusual problems. The Digestive System explores the structure of the different parts of the digestive system, looking at how they work together to digest the food we eat. It explains the different illnesses and injuries that can affect your digestion, from indigestion to ulcers, and outlines ways to keep healthy, including the importance of a balanced diet.--
Describes the process of digestion, including information on why a balanced diet is important, how the body breaks down food into nutrients, and ways to avoid digestive disorders.
This is an integrated textbook on the musculoskeletal system, covering the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of the system, all presented in a clinically relevant context appropriate for the first two years of the medical student course. One of the seven volumes in the Systems of the Body series. Concise text covers the core anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in an integrated manner as required by system- and problem-based medical courses. The basic science is presented in the clinical context in a way appropriate for the early part of the medical course. There is a linked website providing self-assessment material ideal for examination preparation.
Disgusting Digestion is full of the stinkiest, smelliest and most revolting facts about the human digestive system. Readers can find out which people used to eat their dead relatives, how food can painfully poison you and the sickening science of spew. Redesigned in a bold, funky new look for the next generation of HORRIBLE SCIENCE fans.
Digestive System Tumours is the first volume in the fifth edition of the WHO series on the classification of human tumors. This series (also known as the WHO Blue Books) is regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis of tumors and comprises a unique synthesis of histopathological diagnosis with digital and molecular pathology. These authoritative and concise reference books provide indispensable international standards for anyone involved in the care of patients with cancer or in cancer research, underpinning individual patient treatment as well as research into all aspects of cancer causation, prevention, therapy, and education.
The International Symposium on Ruminant Physiology (ISRP) is the premier forum for presentation and discussion of advances in knowledge of the physiology of ruminant animals. This book brings together edited versions of the keynote review papers presented at the symposium.
You can not live without proper nutrition, and the digestive system aids in getting that nutrition into your body. Learn about healthy eating and the process of digestion with this great book.
