Natural Immunity

Natural immunity refers to the antibody defence that your body generates after being infected with a virus. Natural immunity differs from one individual to the next and from one germ to another. People who have had measles, for example, are less likely to have it again, although this is not true for all infections. It is […]

Mouth and Buccal Cavity

In human anatomy, starting with the mouth is the first portion of the alimentary canal that helps in receiving food and produces saliva. The oral mucosa is represented by the mucous membrane and an epithelium lining is present in the inside of the mouth. Along with its primary role as the beginning of the digestive

Mouth

The buccal cavity, or oral cavity, is another name for the mouth. The mouth is the upper end of the alimentary canal, which connects the pharynx with the oesophagus in the human digestive system. The palate in humans separates the mouth (or buccal cavity) from the nasal cavity. The teeth, tongue, and salivary glands are

Functions of the Digestive System

The food that we eat makes an incredible journey through our body from the upper portion (our mouth) to the lower portion (our anus). Along the way the beneficial part of the food (nutrients) is absorbed which gives us energy. Our digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.

Functions of Enzymes in the Digestive System

A protein that aids in the acceleration of metabolism, or the chemical events that take place in our bodies, is referred to as an enzyme. Some chemicals are synthesised, whereas others are demolished or deconstructed. Enzymes are found in all living creatures, including bacteria. Enzymes are produced by our bodies on a normal basis. However,

Function Of Skeletal System

The skeletal system The skeletal system of the human body is made up of all the bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. The skeleton, in its whole, accounts for approximately 20% of a person’s overall weight. The skeleton of an adult has 206 bones. Children’s skeletons actually contain more bones than adults’ do, as some bones,

Mineral storage

Introduction As part of an extractive metallurgical operation, many mechanical plants include hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical operations. Geometallurgy is an extractive metallurgy field that integrates mineral processing and geology studies. This involves oil agglomeration research. Storage (as in bin design), conveying, sampling, weighing, slurry transfer, and pneumatic transport are all considered auxiliary materials handling procedures in

Mineral Nutrition: Essential Minerals, Macro and Micronutrients and their Role

Mineral Nutrition: Mineral nutrition is also known as natural nutrients. Minerals are the essential nutrients that allow the body to grow and survive. Minerals perform several vital functions that are very important for the body. For example, your body needs minerals to build strong bones and teeth and turn food into energy. Like vitamins, a

Micronutrients and macronutrients

Body functions require the consumption of nutrients in order for them to be effective. They are in charge of the health of our brain, skin, bones, muscles, nerves, and other organs, as well as our digestive system. Some nutrients are required in greater quantities than others and are referred to as macronutrients, while others are

Food pipe or oesophagus

The Food pipe or Oesophagus is the long, wide, hollow pipe-like structure in our throat that connects the throat to the stomach or digestive system. The main function is to transfer the food from the mouth to the digestive system. It is the source of food transmission for the living of human beings. It comprises
