Often the only organ that is visible through the transparent tissues is a cigar-shaped digestive gland, which is the cephalopod equivalent of a mammalian liver.
According to the chronicler John Stow, it is named after the "puddings" (a medieval word for entrails and organs) which would fall from the carts coming down the lane from the butchers in Eastcheap as they headed for the waste barges on the River Thames.
Lauraceae and Burseraceae are particularly favoured, and the young are fed regurgitated Lauraceae by the female.
They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Claude Bernard, French physiologist who made important contributions to the understanding of digestion, function of the liver and the methods of experimental medicine.
CPA3 (also known as mast-cell CPA) is involved in the digestion of proteins by mast cells.
Casein has been documented to break down in the stomach to produce the peptide casomorphin (above stated that "Human digestion may break down casomorphins into inactive dipeptides by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4"), an opioid that acts as a histamine releaser.
In 1668, the Jesuit Ignatio Francisco Alzina reported that eating it aided digestion and since then, it has been employed to treat digestive troubles.
Route 289 is designated the Beaumont Memorial Highway after William Beaumont (1785–1853), a pioneering researcher in human digestion.
At the close of the meal, it is usual to be served with a red tea infused with mint, which aids the digestion.
Research by the VFGA in Victoria during 1992–1993 showed that lead levels in Black Duck at Lake Buloke had reached internationally recognised levels dangerous to waterfowl (waterfowl ingest lead pellets with gravel – the gravel aid their digestion of food).
Part of the digestion mechanism involves an enzyme-mediated respiratory burst, which produces reactive oxygen-derived compounds, including superoxide (which is produced by NADPH oxidase).
The list is far from complete, and some plants, such as Roridula species, exploit the prey organisms mainly in a mutualistic relationship with other creatures, such as resident organisms that contribute to the digestion of prey.
MOWSE, a method for identification of proteins from the molecular weight of peptides created by proteolytic digestion
OUWBSM is named for OU which was named for Oakland County and William Beaumont Hospital (WBH) which was named for US Army surgeon William Beaumont who became known as the "Father of Gastric Physiology" following his research on human digestion started at Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island, Michigan.
At 22 years of age, Hakim started medical school at Universidad Nacional in Bogotá, but his passion for electricity continued and led him to perform research in electrical output during digestion, the effects of low voltage on womb contraction, and the calcium formation stimulation by electrolysis.
In 1902, William Bayliss and Ernest Starling were studying how the nervous system controls the process of digestion.
Other ingredients include extracts of chamomile, a daisy-like plant with "a calming agent to fend off stress ... and ease digestion", passiflora, a genus of about 500 species of flowering plants with "anti-depressant and relaxing" properties, valerian, a herb that "relieves symptoms of nervousness", Tilia cordata, a linden tree known for "facilitating sleep", and hops, a "nerve calming" flowering plant.
He translated Gabriel Valentin's 'Text Book of Physiology' from the German in 1853; wrote a short treatise 'On the Medical Selection of Lives for Assurance' in 1856, and in 1861 'On Food and its Digestion, being an Introduction to Dietetics,' besides six articles in Robert Bentley Todd's Cyclopædia of Anatomy and Physiology, and some papers read before the Royal Society.
Because of its specificity toward proline, it has been suggested that X-prolyl aminopeptidase is important in the maturation and degradation of peptide hormones, neuropeptides, and tachykinins, as well as in the digestion of otherwise resistant dietary protein fragments, thereby complementing the pancreatic peptidases.
The zymogram is subsequently stained (commonly with Amido Black or Coomassie Brilliant Blue), and areas of digestion appear as clear bands against a darkly stained background where the substrate has been degraded by the enzyme.
