Imagine you are a chicken sandwich that a person is eating for lunch. Write about your journey through the human body in detail.

Where does the journey begin? Where does it end? What do you see along the way? How do you feel? Where is each part of the chicken sandwich digested? Be sure to include the digestive process of each part of the sandwich, including the bread (carbohydrate), chicken (protein), and mayonnaise (fat). Identify the steps or sequentially discuss the organs involved in the digestive system, beginning with the mouth and ending with the anus. Discuss the digestion of each macronutrient and site of absorption. Your answer should be at least three paragraphs long.

The journey begins soon as you take a bite out of the sandwhich. your sliva starts to get heaver. You start chewing it and it goes down your esphoquist.  Then down into your stomach. Your gut starts to work to get all the nutrinous from it. Then  the waste. you know what happens to the waste. You use the restroom ( this is not meant to be funny take this sersouliy).

you can use this information to make it 3 paraghrpahs long put little deatails that matter into it.

Answer:

When the chicken salad sandwich first enters the mouth the salivary glands produce a digestive juice called salivary amylase which begins to break down or hydrolyse the starch which is in the bread of the chicken salad sandwich. Amylase breaks down carbohydrates, more specifically the starch in the carbohydrates and changes it into maltose; this is a more acceptable form that the body can absorb. As the chicken salad sandwich continues its journey it enters the stomach where it is stored. In the stomach the acid denatures the amylase enzyme which stops it from working. Once the food has moved from the stomach to the small intestine, the pancreatic amylase, which is produced in the pancreatic juices, continues the breakdown of the starch in the bread of the sandwich to a substance called maltose.

As the food is further pushed along the small intestine it produces maltase which breaks down the maltose into an even smaller molecule called glucose. The chicken in the sandwich starts to be broken down in the mouth where it is chewed to make smaller pieces. When it reaches the stomach it begins the hydrolysis process, the stomach produces an enzyme called pepsin, and this partially breaks down the proteins into amino acid. This then travels to the small intestine where the chicken is further broken down by an enzyme called trysin which continues the breakdown of proteins to amino acids. The butter in the chicken salad sandwich is solely broken down in the small intestine into emulsified fats and fatty acids by enzymes produced in the liver and pancreas called bile and lipase.

The lettuce in the chicken salad sandwich cannot be broken down as it is a fibre, so it passes through the system by being chewed into smaller parts and the water is absorbed through the intestinal walls, and ends its journey by leaving the body in the faeces, along with all the other waste products from the chicken sandwich. The end products of the chicken sandwich, sucrose, amino acids, emulsified fats and glycerol/fatty acids are absorbed through the intestinal wall. There is a layer of mucosa that lines the wall that consists of folds which are full of villi which are then covered with microvilli which increases the surface area dramatically. It is through this surface area that the nutrients are absorbed and because of this the amount and rate of absorption is increased.

A client presents to the ED with a stab wound to the abdomen following an assault. It is suspected that the client has an injury
skad [1K]

Answer:

The laboratory investigation is to check for the levels of pancreatic enzymes amylase and lipases in the blood.

Explanation:

The pancreas is an organ that is located in the abdomen and produces digestive enzymes and hormones that aid digestion, and empties into the small intestine.

When the pancreas is inflamed, these enzymes will leak into the blood cells the concentration of the enzymes in the plasma or serum will increases above the normal range, this mostly occurs in pancreatitis (which is the inflammation of the pancreas) or a mechanical injury to the pancreas as described in this question. These enzymes are found in other organs too, but they are mainly found in the pancreas in a larger concentration.

The two main enzymes that are assayed for in the laboratory are; Amylase and lipase. Amylase is an enzyme that digests carbohydrates, for the amylase test, blood or urine is used and the patient is asked to stay away from drugs that affect the amylase levels prior to the test procedure. The normal range of amylase in the blood is 23-140 U/L and an amylase concentration of > or = 200 U/L suggests injury to the pancreas.

Lipases are enzymes that breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol, this test is more sensitive than the amylase test because the liopases are reabsorbed into the blood stream in the renal tubules hence maintain a constant concentration in the blood and can accurately be used to quantify the extent of damage to the pancreas. The normal range is  0 - 160 U/L and in the case of pancreatic injury, can have a 2 or 4 fold increase in concentration.

The principle of both tests is that they measure the activity of both enzymes in the blood colorimetrically or using a spectrophotometer.
