After the food goes down the throat, it is met in the gizzard by sand and rocks -these elements help break apart the bones, horns, hooves, hide, and flesh. This more broken-down material then enters the hydrochloric acid of the stomach. The hearts of other reptiles are designed to contain three sections including two atriums and ventricle. The right atrium, which collects the returned de-oxygenated blood and the left atrium which collects the oxygenated blood collected from pulmonary arteries of the lung, takes the blood
Cholic acid in bile acid synthesis), and cholesterol does the opposite. This is why chenodeoxycholic acid, and not cholic acid, can be used to treat gallstones (because decreasing bile acid synthesis would supersaturate the stones even more). Cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid are the most important human bile acids. Other species may synthesize different bile acids as their predominant primary bile acids. Cholic acid, formulated as Cholbam capsules, is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for children and adults with bile acid synthesis disorders due to single enzyme defects, and for peroxisomal disorders (such as Zellweger
