  2. Auto-brewery syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-brewery_syndrome

    Gut fermentation syndrome, Endogenous ethanol fermentation Digestive system Auto-brewery syndrome ( ABS ) (also known as gut fermentation syndrome , endogenous ethanol fermentation or drunkenness disease ) is a condition characterized by the fermentation of ingested carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal tract of the body caused by bacteria or ...

  3. Endotherm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endotherm

    Their ears are thin and the blood vessels are close to the skin, and flapping their ears to increase the airflow over them causes the blood to cool, which reduces their core body temperature when the blood moves through the rest of the circulatory system.

  4. Vasodilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilation

    Vasodilation plays a major role in immune system function. Wider blood vessels allow more blood containing immune cells and proteins to reach the infection site. Vasodilation occurs as part of the process of inflammation, which is caused by several factors including presence of a pathogen, injury to tissues or blood vessels, and immune ...

  5. Putrefying bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putrefying_bacteria

    Putrefying bacteria produce a plethora of enzymes which aid in disintegration of the body. Because of the lack of immune function within the body, these bacteria spread through blood vessels and utilize the carbohydrates and proteins in the blood as an energy source. [3] The main bacterial species carrying out putrefaction is Cl. welchii. [8]

  6. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    In the arteries, with the absence of diseases, there is very little or no resistance to blood. The vessel diameter is the most principal determinant to control resistance. Compared to other smaller vessels in the body, the artery has a much bigger diameter (4 mm), therefore the resistance is low. [25]

  7. Blood vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_vessel

    Blood vessels function to transport blood to an animal's body tissues. In general, arteries and arterioles transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body and its organs, and veins and venules transport deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs. Blood vessels also circulate blood throughout the circulatory system.

  8. Putrefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putrefaction

    Initially, the gases of putrefaction are constrained within the body cavities, but eventually diffuse through the adjacent tissues, and then into the circulatory system. Once in the blood vessels, the putrid gases infiltrate and diffuse to other parts of the body and the limbs.

  9. Angiogenesis - Wikipedia

    These then travel to already established, nearby blood vessels and activates their endothelial cell receptors. This induces a release of proteolytic enzymes from the vasculature. These enzymes target a particular point on the blood vessel and cause a pore to form. This is the point where the new blood vessel will grow from.
