The Digestive System
This is an integrated textbook on the digestive 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.
The Digestive System
Examines the role and function of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.
Relationships Among the Brain, the Digestive System, and Eating Behavior
On July 9-10, 2014, the Institute of Medicine's Food Forum hosted a public workshop to explore emerging and rapidly developing research on relationships among the brain, the digestive system, and eating behavior. Drawing on expertise from the fields of nutrition and food science, animal and human physiology and behavior, and psychology and psychiatry as well as related fields, the purpose of the workshop was to (1) review current knowledge on the relationship between the brain and eating behavior, explore the interaction between the brain and the digestive system, and consider what is known about the brain's role in eating patterns and consumer choice; (2) evaluate current methods used to determine the impact of food on brain activity and eating behavior; and (3) identify gaps in knowledge and articulate a theoretical framework for future research. Relationships among the Brain, the Digestive System, and Eating Behavior summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.
The Exocrine Pancreas
The secretions of the exocrine pancreas provide for digestion of a meal into components that are then available for processing and absorption by the intestinal epithelium. Without the exocrine pancreas, malabsorption and malnutrition result. This chapter describes the cellular participants responsible for the secretion of digestive enzymes and fluid that in combination provide a pancreatic secretion that accomplishes the digestive functions of the gland. Key cellular participants, the acinar cell and the duct cell, are responsible for digestive enzyme and fluid secretion, respectively, of the exocrine pancreas. This chapter describes the neurohumoral pathways that mediate the pancreatic response to a meal as well as details of the cellular mechanisms that are necessary for the organ responses, including protein synthesis and transport and ion transports, and the regulation of these responses by intracellular signaling systems. Examples of pancreatic diseases resulting from dysfunction in cellular mechanisms provide emphasis of the importance of the normal physiologic mechanisms.
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.--
Guts: The Digestive System
Introduces the human digestive system, explaining how it works to break food down into nutrients and describing the role of each part or organ.
