Document Summary
Lung cancer: disease of uncontrolled cell growth tissue in tissues of the lung. The affected cells begin to divide in a rapid and unrestricted manner, producing a tumour. Stomach secretes pepsin and hydrochloric acid to further digest food. Pancreas: critical function is the production of the hormone insulin, which facilitates the entry of glucose into the bodily tissues. Liver: produces bile, which enters the duodenum and helps breakdown fat. Absorption of food takes place mainly in the small intestine, which produces enzymes that complete the breakdown of proteins to amino acids. Parasympathetic activity speeds up metabolism, sympathetic nervous system activity reduces it. Food then passes to large intestine which acts as a storage area. Gastroesophagael re ux disease: (gerd) also known as acid re ux disease, results from abnormal re ux in the esophagus. commonly due to changes in the barrier between the esophagus and the stomach. Appendicitis: common condition that occurs when wastes and bacteria accumulate in the appendix.
