Horrible Science: Disgusting Digestion
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.
Digestion and Nutrition
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.
The Digestive System
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.--
Physiology and Pathophysiology of Digestion
This collaboration of two physiologists and a gastroenterologist provides medical and graduate students, medical and surgical residents, and subspecialty fellows a comprehensive summary of digestive system physiology and addresses the pathophysiological processes that underlie some GI diseases. The textual approach proceeds by organ instead of the traditional organization followed by other GI textbooks. This approach lets the reader track the food bolus as it courses through the GI tract, learning on the way each organ's physiologic functions as the bolus directly or indirectly contacts it. The book is divided into three parts: (1) Chapters 1–3 include coverage of basic concepts that pertain to all (or most) organs of the digestive system, salivation, chewing, swallowing, and esophageal function, (2) Chapters 4–6 are focused on the major secretory organs (stomach, pancreas, liver) that assist in the assimilation of a meal, and (3) Chapters 7 and 8 address the motor, transport, and digestive functions of the small and large intestines. Each chapter includes its own pathophysiology and clinical correlation section that underscores the importance of the organ’s normal function.
Anaerobic Digestion in Built Environments
Anaerobic digestion of biomass to biogas, commonly occurring in natural anoxic ecosystems, is an excellent method for utilizing wastes and producing green energy. This book presents examples of local installations of AD, or their proposals, located at small factories, workplaces, and in rural areas and housing complexes. The facilities consider the specific nature of the region, site conditions, and specificity of the utilized wastes. They protect the environment and ensure dispersed energy production. The latter is of great economic significance due to its closeness to end customers. Small local installations expand the pool of renewable energy on a global scale.
The Impact of Food Bioactives on Health
“Infogest” (Improving Health Properties of Food by Sharing our Knowledge on the Digestive Process) is an EU COST action/network in the domain of Food and Agriculture that will last for 4 years from April 4, 2011. Infogest aims at building an open international network of institutes undertaking multidisciplinary basic research on food digestion gathering scientists from different origins (food scientists, gut physiologists, nutritionists...). The network gathers 70 partners from academia, corresponding to a total of 29 countries. The three main scientific goals are: Identify the beneficial food components released in the gut during digestion; Support the effect of beneficial food componen...
Disgusting Digestion
From the beginning to the end of the digestive process, readers embark on an illustrated exploration of everything from salivary glands to bladders and stomach ulcers.
Handbook of Molecular and Cellular Methods in Biology and Medicine, Second Edition
Since the publication of the best-selling Handbook of Molecular and Cellular Methods in Biology and Medicine, the field of biology has experienced several milestones. Genome sequencing of higher eukaryotes has progressed at an unprecedented speed. Starting with baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), organisms sequenced now include human (Homo sapiens), model crucifer (Arabidopsis thaliana), and rice (Oryza sativa). The invention of DNA microarray technology and advances in bioinformatics have generated vast amounts of genomic data. Reflecting these revolutionary advances Handbook of Molecular and Cellular Methods in Biology and Medicine, Second Edition documents conventional and modern ap...
