The diaphragm is located at the inferior-most aspect of the ribcage, filling the inferior thoracic aperture. It acts as the floor of the thoracic cavity and the roof of the abdominal cavity. The attachments of diaphragm can be divided into peripheral and central attachments.
Glucose is widely distributed in small amounts in fruits, plant juices and honey. It is commercially produced by the acid or enzyme hydrolysis of grain and root starches. Glucose is of special interest in nutrition because it is the end-product of carbohydrate digestion in all non-ruminant animals including fish.
Hydrolysis involving organic compounds may be illustrated by the reaction of water with an ester of a carboxylic acid; all such esters have the general formula RCOâORâ², in which R and Râ² are combining groups (for example, if R and Râ² both represent the methyl group, CH3, the ester is methyl acetate).
