And it generally travels through two major kind of vessels.

There's also another one over here called the superior vena cava, and this is bringing back blood from the arms and head.

What is a pancreas anyhow?

So Superior Vena Cava and Inferior Vena Cava.

And this are the abdominal organs.

There is actually a little spot right there that they drain in to.

Liquid nutrients are then carried... through an elaborate system of filtering... aided by the pancreas, liver, and gall bladder... or collected in the bladder to be expelled at a later time.

And then you've got the capillaries, you've got some blood kind of from both places the pulmonary circulation and the blood from the systemic circulation again mixing.

This is now going to dump into what we call a venule.

I'll write that right here.

Into the IV, yes.

So you have these arteries right over here, the red tubes. Those are arteries. and then the blue ones are veins.

And it came up in the right atrium from a giant vessel up top called the superior vena cava. And this is a vein of course because it's bringing blood towards the heart.

Now the first thing that could go wrong here is What if the body does not produce insulin?

And today we can obtain cells from most every organ in your body, except for several which we still need stem cells for,

And at the bottom here, you can't see it because it's on the other side of the heart, but there's another vein called the inferior vena cava.

So this is more challenging

And let me actually show you where the blood vessels come from. These are called coronary vessels I just write the word coronary here.

So, that's a challenge, not just for organs but also for tissues.

Inferior vena cava, and this is the large vein that brings back all the blood from the bottom half of the body.

Start a largebore IV. Keep it open.

I could just write artery and vein and essentially they would be behaving this way.

And anytime I mention the word vein, I just want to make sure you think of blood going towards the heart.

A venule, and this venule is gonna basically then feed into many, many other venules.

I'm going to do some surgery here.

We have more trials planned for lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and breast cancer.

let's say dumped into the air and the same on this side, and it's gonna come from their head and all three sources two arms and a head are gonna come together into one big vein

Well, there are other cancer tumors in the abdomen quite lethal, very lethal actually pancreas, liver, kidney.

They would ordinarily support fish and other wildlife.

And fortunately he didn't die.

And these two veins, this is also a vein, these two veins are actually dragging blood in from all over the body, into the heart.

And you might say, well that wasn't so difficult. I'll say bronchial vessels, because there are also some veins coming off.

If you present with a diseased wind pipe we'd like to take cells from your windpipe.

So you think of alternative mechanical parts.

This example is a picture of a piece of the pancreas, that's a little gushy organ that sits right here in our abdomen, this cluster that you're looking at of cells in there, are the cells that make insulin in the body.

And I should mention that I have pancreatic cancer, and I'd like you to please be quick about this.

If you present with a diseased pancreas we'd like to take cells from that organ.

I ended up with blunt chest trauma.

Well, these vessels, all of them, together are called coronary vessels.

So ischemia is deprivation of blood flow and oxygen downstream from this right over there.

A little vein in his head popped, and that was that.

I hope my veins don't pop.

And this inadequacy of cancer medicine really hit home when my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

She was being given medicine intravenously.

Chyme exits the through the piloric sphincter into the Duodenum of the small intestine the major portion of absorbtion in digestion occurs in the small intestine.
