Organ Function 

Large Intestine

• The COLON, the largest part of the large intestine, must store wastes long enough to reabsorb water out of the wastes.• The large intestine houses bacteria, such as E. coli, which synthesize vitamins B and K.• Cellulose, the longchain carbohydrate characteristic of plant cell walls, cannot be broken down by humans.• However cellulose provides bulk, which helps prompts a bowel movement helping removal of potentially toxic wastes from the body.• Individuals who don't eat enough fibre are more likely to develop cancer of the colon.• Solid waste (FECES) passes into the RECTUM and then the ANAL CANAL before exiting the ANUS(sphincter muscle)

HOMEOSTASIS

Organ systems function within a specific range of physical and chemical conditions.

Things like body temperature, pH, and O2 levels must be maintained.

Different organ systems must work together to maintain a "steady state" or HOMEOSTASIS in the body.

This means organ systems are INTERDEPENDENT on one another.

Mar 5­9:07 AM

Disease

When homeostatic imbalance occurs and the body loses its ability to maintain homeostasis, disease may result and if severe, death will occur.

Disease is a process with a definite set of characteristics in which part of the body is not carrying out its normal functions.

Local disease affects one part of the body.Systemic disease affects several parts or the entire body.

Patients with disease will experience certain SYMPTOMS, which are subjective changes in body functions not apparent to the observer (Doctor)

Organ Disease

Stomach

When the protective mucous lining of the stomach breaks down, the cell membraneis exposed to the HCl and pepsin. The destruction of the cell membraneleads to a PEPTIC ULCERMost ulcers have been linked to a bacterium called Heliobacter pylori which can survive the acidic environment of the stomach!

Organ Disease

Gall Bladder

Cholesterol, an insoluble component of bile, acts as a binding agent for the salt crystals found in bile.The crystals precipitate and form larger crystals called GALLSTONES.Gallstones can block the bile duct, impairing fat digestion and causing considerable pain.

Organ Disease

Liver

Any obstruction of the bile duct or accelerated destruction of red blood cells can cause JAUNDICE,turning skin and other tissues yellow.The liver is able to detoxify many substances in the body. One is alcohol, which can destroy livertissue if consumed in large quantities.Damaged liver cells are replaced by connective tissue and fat, which are not able to carry out normal liver duties. This condition, which can also result from nutritional deprivation or infection, isreferred to as CIRRHOSIS of the liver.

Organ Disease

Large Intestine 

Individuals who do not eat sufficient amounts of cellulose (fibre), have fewer bowel movements.This means that wastes and toxins remain in theirbodies for longer periods of time.Scientists have determined that cancer of thecolon can be related to diet.Individuals who eat mostly processed, highly refined foods are more likely to develop cancer of the colon.
