Human Physiology

The term “anatomy” is derived from the Greek terms “ana” which means “up” and “tone” which means “a cutting.” Historically, anatomy studies have entailed dissecting or cutting up creatures. An organism is a particular living species that exhibits all of the characteristics of life. A bird, plant, animal, insect, or even a microorganism can be one of […]

Alimentary Canal – Anatomy Digestion is the process of breaking down big food particles into smaller, water-soluble particles that may be absorbed more easily by the blood plasma. The entire process from the intake to the digestion of food, as well as the disposal of undigested material, are carried out with the help of various

Introduction Living organisms require energy to sustain life. An alimentary canal and digestive glands in the body help provide energy by ingestion and digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and vitamins. After absorption, the indigestible material is egested out of the body. During digestion, complex food substances are turned into simple absorbable forms by secretion of

The alimentary canal is one of the most important parts of the digestive system. It is a long, continuous muscle tube that runs through the body, measuring around 8 to 10 metres in length. It is open on both ends, with the mouth on the front and the anus on the back. The alimentary canal

Introduction The gastrointestinal tract of the human body is one of the most unique systems to exist. Since evolution, the system has adapted to humans’ different and varied changing lifestyles, from hunter-gatherers to the sedentary lifestyle we have come to welcome. The digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal and other important organs,

Because the human body is such a complicated entity, maintaining correct functioning requires a lot of energy. The energy source for usage and storage at cellular level is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleoside triphosphate with three serially linked phosphate groups, a nitrogenous base (adenine), and a ribose sugar. The connection between both

Molecules are transported across the cell membrane via active and passive transport processes. A cell membrane serves as both a structural component of the cell and a barrier to the outside world. The phospholipid bilayer maintains the cell’s delicate homeostasis, which directs the passage of chemicals in and out of the cell. In contrast to

The intestinal lumen is the location where the hydrolysis of lipids occurs. All the outcomes are picked by enterocytes. They are lipids that are re-synthesizable. The lipoproteins which are hydrolyzed in the period of circulation and stocks are further passed on by the peripheral group of cells. With the help of the liver, the remaining

Digestion and absorption process       Every living being needs the energy to work, which is obtained from food. Though when we eat food, we directly do not get the energy that is required. Instead, there are various processes that take place for the production of energy inside the body. The food we eat is broken down

Carbohydrates provide human beings with the energy to go about their entire day and perform their daily activities effortlessly. Metabolism of carbohydrates is the process of digestion that breaks down food containing sugar into simpler units. Sugar in food is also known as saccharides. The process of digestion or metabolism begins in the mouth and,
