1. ELECTRICAL PHENOMENA IN THE HUMAN STOMACH. 1.1. THE ANATOMY OF THE STOMACH. The main function of the stomach is to process and transport food. After feeding, the contractile activity of the stomach helps to mix, grind and eventually evacuate small portions of chyme into the small bowel (12), while the rest of the chyme is mixed and ground. Anatomically, the stomach can be divided into three major regions: fundus (the most proximal), corpus and antrum (Fig.1.1). Histologically, the fundus and corpus are hardly separable. In the antral area, the density of the smooth muscle cells increases (11). Figure 1.1. Macroscopic anatomy of the stomach. The stomach wall , like the wall of most other parts of the digestive canal, consists of three layers: the mucosal (the innermost), the muscularis and the serosal (the outermost). The mucosal layer itself can be divided into three layers: the mucosa (the epithelial lining of the gastric cavity), the muscularis mucosae (low density smooth muscle cells) and the submucosal layer (consisting of connective tissue interlaced with plexi of the enteric nervous system). The second gastric layer, the muscularis, can also be divided into three layers: the longitudinal (the most superficial), the circular and the oblique (Fig.1.2). The longitudinal layer of the muscularis can be separated into two different categories: a longitudinal layer that is common with the esophagus and ends in the corpus, and a longitudinal layer that originates in the corpus and spreads into the duodenum.

Hospital Home University Employment Contact Us ... Sleep Problems What is respiration? Respiration is the act of breathing: inhaling (inspiration) - taking in oxygen exhaling (expiration) - giving off carbon dioxide What makes up the respiratory system? The respiratory system is made up of the organs involved in the interchanges of gases, and consists of the: nose pharynx larynx trachea bronchi lungs The upper respiratory tract includes the: nose nasal cavity ethmoidal air cells frontal sinuses maxillary sinus larynx trachea The lower respiratory tract includes the: lungs bronchi alveoli What is the function of the lungs? The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped organs made up of spongy, pinkish-gray tissue. They take up most of the space in the chest, or the thorax (the part of the body between the base of the neck and diaphragm). The lungs are enveloped in a membrane called the pleura The lungs are separated from each other by the mediastinum , an area that contains the following: heart and its large vessels trachea (windpipe) esophagus thymus lymph nodes The right lung has three sections, called

Surgical Options In The Management Of Groin Hernias - January 1, 1999 - American Epidemiology, anatomy, diagnosis, classification, indications to surgery, anesthesia, techniques and results, in a scientific paper provided by American Accademy of Family Physician. http://www.aafp.org/afp/990101ap/143.html

Advanced Search (Corrections made to Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 in this article on February 17, 1999.) Surgical Options in the Management of Groin Hernias TIM BAX, M.D., BRETT C. SHEPPARD, M.D., and RICHARD A. CRASS, M.D. Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, Oregon I nguinal and femoral hernias are the most common problems primary care physicians encounter that require surgical intervention. The treatment of these hernias costs approximately $3.5 billion every year. Untreated or recurrent inguinal hernias are responsible for an incalculable loss of productivity and revenue. Postoperative convalescence also contributes to absence from the work force. A clear understanding of the epidemiology and anatomy of inguinal hernias provides a solid foundation for timely diagnosis and care. Since inguinal herniorrhaphy can be performed using a variety of techniques, the approach can be individualized. This article reviews the available surgical options for herniorrhaphy and the possible complications of these procedures. Epidemiology In the United States, approximately 96 percent of groin hernias are inguinal and 4 percent are femoral. Inguinal hernias are bilateral in as many as 20 percent of affected adults.

Vacuum Erection Devices Introduction The problem of an inadequate erection is probably one of the biggest issues a man confronts. Most men experience erectile problems on occasion, but impotence, also called erectile dysfunction, is defined as "the persistent failure to develop and maintain erections of sufficient rigidity for penetrative sexual intercourse." Of course, men have other kinds of sexual problems including lack of desire and problems with ejaculation, yet impotence is the most common and troubling. The best way for men to begin solving erectile problems is by reading about men's sexual system - anatomy, physiology, diseases, drugs, diagnosis and treatments. Some problems may be solved simply and others may require a visit to your family doctor or a urologist. In either case, we encourage you to become an educated health care consumer, which should help you regardless of the cause or cure for your problem.
