...edu/patientcare/healthcare_services/liver_biliary_pancreatic_disease/pancreas_anatomy_function/Pages/index.aspx Describe the functional anatomy of the duct system that conveys bile from the liver and digestive juice from the pancreas to the lumen of the duodenum. Pancreatic juice is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and digestive enzymes that travel through the pancreatic ducts directly into the lumen of the duodenum. Chyme is partially digested food that travels from the stomach into the duodenum, and trypsm, amylase, and lipase are the digestive enzymes which break down proteins, starches, and fats and are carried to the duodenum from the stomach. The liver manufactures and secretes Bile, which is a fluid released into the duodenum that aids in digestion of fat. (n.d.).

...Fantastic Voyage Desire Fleming HS130, Section 03 Unit 9 Assignment Kaplan University 6/13/2014 Fantastic Voyage This essay will discuss the travels of a hamburger, french fries, and a root beer through the gastrointestinal tract of a 55 year old man. There will be a lot of sights to explore along the way. A description of the entire digestive process will take place. After the description, the voyage will continue on through the distal ilium through the mucosal membrane. Then travels will resume in the bloodstream via the superior mesenteric vein. All major passageways and structures will be described going through the superior mesenteric vein all the way to the left renal artery. Once the voyage gets to the kidney, the nearest nephron will be entered. All structures will be discussed passing through on the way to the urinary tract where the voyage will exit out through the urethra. This journey is quite far but very interesting. The gastrointestinal tract is also known as the alimentary canal. Its main function is to digest food through various muscle movements and hormone and enzyme release. The tract is around 20-25 feet in length (wisegeek, 2014). The gastrointestinal tract consists of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.

...Argumentative Essay Is global climate change man made? Some would argue that climate changes are just stages of the Earth or doesn’t exist at all. Most would say that with all the people in the world and all the things that they do to Mother Nature that climate change is a man-made problem. In this essay, I’m going to explain both sides of the argument and give some facts about why they think that. First off, I think that climate change is man-made and it is from careless people on the earth that don’t think about the effects of things they do in the long run. We all leave some sort of carbon footprint. With population growing and getting out of control most people don’t realize a lot of the things they do are harmful to the planet. With more people, there is a need for more places to stay. People need homes and land so one of the major factors in climate change is deforestation. Another factor is the burning of fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal. These energy resources are burned for electricity or refined to be used as heating or transportation usages. “Over the past 20 years, nearly three-fourths of human-caused emissions came from the burning of fossil fuels.” These things all have to do with letting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is one of the major reasons of temperatures getting warmer. “Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by a third since the Industrial Revolution began.” Another factor in climate change is the release...
