#Repost @medicogram (@get_repost) ・・・ Incredibly well performed facial transplant gives Richard Lee Norris back a whole lot of life quality :) Norris lost most of his upper and lower jaw as well as his lips, teeth and tongue in an accident in 1997. He had lived much of his life as a recluse, before receiving transplant surgery at the Maryland Medical Centre in Baltimore. Within a week, he was brushing his teeth and shaving. Dr Eduardo Rodriguez, who led the marathon operation says Norris’s procedure is one of the most extensive because of the inclusion of the tongue and teeth and because the incisions are farther back and less visible. Norris now has sensation in his face, is able to smile and is regaining his speech. He is also currently studying for a online art history college course. As an avid golfer and fisherman, he said: “I can now start working on the new life given back to me.” 📷•Medicogram• #medicogram

#Repost @medicogram ・・・ Stomach: The stomach is an important digestive organ. In the digestive system the stomach is involved in the second phase of digestion after mastication (chewing). The stomach is located between the oesophagus and the small intestine. It secretes digestive enzymes and gastric acid to aid in food digestion. The pyloric sphincter controls the passage of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach into the duodenum where peristalsis takes over to move this through the rest of the intestines. 📷•Medicogram• #gastroenterology #gastrology #stomach #gastro #anatomy #surgery #medicogram
