1.0 INTRODUCTION Fruit is a structural part of plant that contain seeds, normally fleshly, sweet and edible in a raw states, which includes; oranges, grapes, strawberries, juniper berries, pineapple and watermelon e.t.c (Abano, 2010). They are ripe ovaries or carpets that contain seed (McGee, 2004). Fruit contain various phytochemical compounds that are similar in composition to vegetables. All fruits contain a high percentage of water averaging 85% fat, protein and carbohydrate (cellulose an...
Abstract Stress has the potential to discourage radiographers from practice and to cause brain drain in the profession. The aim of this study was to consider stress, from a holistic perspective, of the radiographers’ experiences. Qualitative research methods were employed. Using random sampling, 10 radiographers, two from each of the five states of southeastern Nigeria were interviewed. The interview questions aimed to explore the experience of radiographers with a focus on the causes of ...

Lingual lipase is a water soluble enzyme that primarily catalyses the breakdown of fats and converts them to free fatty acids, monoglycerides and diglycerides. They play an important role in food digestion. Lingual lipase which was discovered in 1976 is a member of a family of digestive enzymes called triacylglycerol lipases, that use the catalytic triad of aspartate, and serine to hydrolyze medium- and long-chain triglycerides into partial glycerides and free fatty acids.
ABSTRACT The Gastro intestinal system is vital for overall secretions, digestion, absorption, and movement within the tracts. Secretions involve release of fluids, chemicals and catalytic substances that facilitates digestion and related gastrointestinal tract (GIT) activities. Digestion involves hydrolysis of condensed products of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Absorption involves movement of molecules across the GIT into the circulatory system. Carbohydrates are hydrolysed to monos...
This concept involves the step by step processes associated with the formation and development of the human cardiovascular and respiratory system which together function to circulate oxygen and blood throughout the human body.

ABSTRACT Orexins are recently discovered neuropeptides synthesized by neurons located in the posteriolateral hypothalamus. There are about 10,000 to 20,000 of these neurons in the hypothalamus and their axons extend throughout the brain and spinal cord where their receptors are located. The word Orexin is a Greek word reflecting orexigenic (appetite stimulating) activity of hormone. There are two types of Orexin – Orexin-A and Orexin-B – and these are essentially the same as hypocre...
ABSTRACT The Sympathetic nervous systems (SNS) is an efferent division of the Autonomic nervous system (ANS) with neurons which anatomically originates in the central nervous system (CNS). It has a short preganglionic neuron which comes from the thoracic and lumbar regions (T1 to L2) (also termed, thoracolumbar outflow) of the spinal cord. The axons of the postganglionic neuron extend from these ganglia to the tissues that they innervate and regulate. In most cases, the preganglion...
