Experiments and Observations on the Gastric Juice, and the Physiology of Digestion
Concerns the case of Alexis St. Martin, whose relations with Beaumont are summarized in the introduction.
Experiments and Observations on the Gastric Juice, and the Physiology of Digestion
Reprint of the original, first published in 1838.
Pavlov's Physiology Factory
Russian physiologist and Nobel Prize winner Ivan Pavlov is most famous for his development of the concept of the conditioned reflex and the classic experiment in which he trained a dog to salivate at the sound of a bell. In this study, Daniel P. Todes explores Pavlov's early work in digestive physiology through the structures and practices of his landmark laboratory - the physiology department of the Imperial Institute for Experimental Medicine.
Gastric Secretion
Gastric Secretion: Mechanism and Control covers the proceedings of the symposium held at The Faculty of Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, on September 13-15, 1965. This compilation mainly focuses on the study of gastric secretion and other biological processes involved. This book is divided into seven parts, beginning with discussions on the anatomy and purpose of gastric mucosa. How the gastrointestinal tract is renewed physiologically is also examined. This text then gives information on the regulation, metabolism, and other biological processes in this organ. This book also specifically explains secretion and its stimulation and inhibition. Parts in this book also tackle gastrin and mucus, as well as the neuro-endocrine control. This text ends with concluding remarks, encouraging further studies of the subject. This selection will be invaluable to students of medicine and biology, as well as specialists of gastrointestinal system.
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.
