The digestive system is an example of an organ system in which humans and other mammals exchange substances with the environment. The table shows its main tissues and organs, and their functions:
Monocryl is a synthetic, absorbable suture, manufactured and trademarked by Ethicon. It is composed of poliglecaprone 25, which is a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone.It comes both dyed (violet) and undyed (clear), and is a monofilament suture. It is generally used for soft-tissue approximation and ligation.t 1 week, its in vivo tensile strength is at 50-60% undyed (60-70% dyed), at 2 weeks its 20-30% undyed (30-40% dyed), and is essentially completely hydrolyzed by 91â119 days. When removed from the package, it has a high degree of memory, or coil.
Monomers are the building blocks of large macromolecules, or any molecule chain created through condensation reactions. These are the polymers, three or more monomers bonded together. In the category of carbohydrates, there are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosacchaides, and polysaccharides.he monosaccharides are just a single carbon ring (in the natural aqueous environment of an organism). The monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. The disaccharides are two carbon rings bonded together by a glycosidic linkage in a condensation (dehydration) reaction, which removes a molecule of water.
