Abstract
When most individuals think of the digestive system, they think of those organs within the alimentary canal: the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Organs that serve other purposes within the human body such as the gallbladder, liver and pancreas receive attention, but not in relation to their purpose as part of the accessory group of organs associated with the digestive tract. This paper presents a detailed discussion on these accessory organs limited to their purpose within the digestive tract.
From the Paper
"Imholtz (n.d.) tells us that accessory organs of the digestive tract are those that assist the digestive process but are organs of which no food passes through. Tamarkin (2006) comments that the major accessory organs such as the pancreas, gallbladder and liver have function other than those for digestion, but within the digestive system, they are considered exocrine glands that secrete fluids into ducts."

Abstract
This paper looks at the World Trade Organization, or WTO and debates whether or not the WTO has a positive effect on the world. The author takes the position that one needs a place to take disputes and set regulations for the international economy.
From the Paper
"The World Trade Organization, which was created in 1995, was the biggest reform of international trade since 1948. During the previous years, international commerce had been organized under GATT, which established a multilateral trading system. However, by the 1980s major restructuring was needed. The Uruguay Round brought about that overhaul. It was the largest trade negotiation ever."

Introduction
The Saliva
The Stomach (Chemical and mechanical Breakdown)
The Small Intestine (Enzymatic Breakdown and Absorption)
Absorption of Nutrients
Absorption of Vitamins and Minerals
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The human digestive system is an intriguing mechanism involving different organs and enzymes in a complex mechanical and biochemical processes. Starting from the mouth and ending in the small intestine, the entire digestive mechanism is highly evolved and controlled by involuntary reflex actions that are triggered at every point by particular stimulus factors. While the stomach is the place where the main part of digestion begins, it is the small intestine where the final breakdown of respective ingredients occurs. The small intestine is also the region through which the finely broken down substances are absorbed back into the blood stream or the lymphatic system. The entire digestive process and the activities inside the alimentary canal offer an interesting peep into the amazing world of biochemical processes and cellular biomechanics."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"A brief description of the structure of the stomach would help in gaining a better understanding of this important organ. The stomach is divided into four regions namely the Cardia, fundus, the body, and the pylorus. The stomach has two openings namely the cardiac orifice, which connects with the esophagus, and the pyloric orifice on its lower end, which leads to the duodenum. The fundus is the curved up area that extends above the cardiac orifice. The body or the intermediate region is the largest part of the stomach, which gradually leads to the pyloric portion that connects to the small intestine via the pyloric aperture. The stomach wall is composed of four different layers. The innermost layer is the mucosa. The mucosa is made up of gastric glands and gastric pits and secretes around 2 litres of gastric juice per day. This gastric juice is made up of HCL, protease (pepsin) and lipase. Parietal cells of the mucosa secrete hydrochloric acid. The goblet cells in the gastric pits that line the mucosa secrete mucus, producing the mucosal barrier that prevents the strong digestive acid from corroding the mucosa. [MSU]"

Implications of a Market-Based Approach for Transplant Organs, 2002.
This paper considers the moral and economic implications of the concept of allocating organs to transplant patients on a market-based approach, contrasting it to the current waiting list approach.

Abstract
This paper argues that there are economically sound justifications for considering some form of free market approach for transplant organs. It is clear that transplant organs are scarce; nature does not freely provide as many organs as transplant patients want. Moreover, from an economic point of view, there certainly is an organ shortage; the going rate for a liver is below the equilibrium or market-clearing price and so more organs are demanded than could possibly be supplied at current price levels. The paper shows that allowing an organ market to better allocate these products to as many needy patients as possible seems like an improvement upon the current system. However, the proper method of organ allocation cannot be determined without considering the ethical implications of a market-based approach. The paper, therefore, first addresses the ethical issues involved in this matter. Following this is an analysis of the economic, political and social aspects of a free market for organs.
From the Paper
"The current method of allocating transplant organs in the Unites States, under a system administered by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), involves a waiting list. In general, the sickest patients on this list will receive their organs the soonest. However, because the list is so long, most of the patients will die waiting. This situation has led to the advocacy of allowing a free market to develop for allocating transplant organs. The primary objective of this plan is to let supply and demand mechanisms determine who gets organs (and when), as a substitute for the current need-based approach. Throughout this discussion, the central characteristic of a successful alternative allocation method is considered to be a greater number of organs being made available to people in need, compared to the current waiting list approach."

Marketing Human Organs, 2005.
Explores the morally controversial issue of the marketing of human organs from the perspective of economics.

Abstract
This paper examines the economic benefits of a policy for the marketing of human organs. The paper presents an analysis of current public policy of non-market organs and then takes a look at the advantages and disadvantages of a regulated market for human organs. The paper points out that current policy is not meeting the need for human organs and concludes that a well-regulated market would be a win-win situation for all involved.
From the Paper
"There are many topics concerning public policy that are relevant to microeconomics, however, few that are as morally controversial as the marketing of human organs. By looking at the economic benefits of such a policy, one can better remove oneself emotionally from the topic, and perhaps see the benefit of something that at first appears to be morally repugnant, such as a live donor kidney transplant market. One must fully understand the current state of the situation as well as the alternatives advantages and disadvantages before making an informed decision. One thing is certain, as medical science continues to advance and organ transplants become more and more commonplace around the globe, this topic is certain to continue to be at the forefront of discussion."

Abstract
Presented in a graph form, this paper provides great detail about the digestive systems of the smallest of creatures in the "kingdom animalia". It explains how lysosome produces a digestive enzyme to breakdown bigger molecules of fat, protein, and carbohydrates, into simple protein, monosaccharides and fatty acid to send to cytoplasm for the cell?s life, then converted into energy for cell growth.
From the Paper
"The higher phyla, starting from Cnidaria develops extracellular digestive system as well as it develops into radial body symmetry. Cnidarian possess incomplete gastrovascular cavity, tube-like digestive system in which water and other smaller organisms are transported in. Such organism like hydra has digestive layer called gastrodermis, which excretes digestive enzymes to assimilate food. This system is also adapted by Platyhelminthes, which also has similar gastrovascular cavity, mouth without anus."

Abstract
This paper answers a number of questions relating to the human digestive system. The topics covered include the structure of the digestive system, its function and its physiology.
From the Paper
"The mucosa is the innermost lining of the digestive tract. In some regions the surface is folded to increase surface area. The mucosa contains different types of cells that secrete mucus digestive enzymes and hormones. Ducts from other glands penetrate the mucosa to open into the lumen. In the stomach and intestines the epithelium is simple columnar for secretion and absorption, but in the mouth and anus, where protection against abrasion, is required the epithelium is stratified squamous.

Abstract
This is a paper about selling human organs, addressing the simple economics of buying and selling human organs. It deals with scarcity, supply demand and equilibrium pricing.
From the Paper
"In order to discuss the mechanisms associated with the sale of human organs we must first suspend some of the ethical and moral issues that surround this idea. We already know that the need or in economic terms the demand for human organs suitable for transplant greatly exceeds the supply. It is also likely that a black market exists in the sale of human organs and that wealthy people are the primary beneficiaries. Organizations such as the United Network for Organ Sharing ..."

This paper discusses the cultural comparison, political economy of health and healthcare and ethno-medical practices relating to the sale of human organs for transplant. The author stresses the ethical questions relating to this practice. The paper analyzes issues of supply and demand.
From the Paper
"The need for human organs suitable for transplant greatly exceeds the supply. According to Robyn Shapiro writing in "Human Rights Journal of the Section of Individual Rights Responsibilities", more than ... Americans are on waiting lists and more than a dozen die each day because a needed organ is not available for transplantation. Shapiro explains that the sale of organs is prohibited in the United States under The National Organ Transplant Act. This Act makes it a federal crime to knowingly acquire receive or otherwise transfer any ..."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of non-governmental and inter-governmental agencies, followed by an analysis of the different issues that can adversely affect the post-conflict reconstruction process. A summary of the research and relevant findings are provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Conflicts among people represent one of the main problems around the world today. People continue to become embroiled in violent confrontations practically everywhere because of religious, racial or political differences. Often the parties in conflict are unable to resolve these fundamental differences, and the governments involved are either unable or unwilling to assist in the process. It is vitally important, therefore, that appropriate nongovernmental organizations and intergovernmental organizations understand the processes involved and the effects of their activities on the people they are trying to help."

Discusses use of human body parts for transplant operations. Problem of imbalance between supply and demand for human organs. Free market approach. Human organ harvesting. Whether supply will grow as donors or families of cadavers respond to high prices paid for human organs. Four exhibits in addition to paper.
From the Paper
"CONSIDERING A MARKET FOR HUMAN ORGANS: A SUPPORTIVE POSITION ASSESSMENT
In the United States, a country that regularly condemns human rights abuses, including trafficking in human organs, in other countries, amoral economists, politically conservative organizations that regularly condemn fetal cell research, and others who view "the market" as God (with a Capital G), promote the concept of a free market in human organs. The usual justification for this concept is that the non-market regulation of the collection and assignment of human body parts for transplant operations is a failure because it allows the development of an imbalance between the supply and the demand for human organs (Schiller 1).
According to the proponents of a free market in human body ..."
