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 reactions in living organisms are performed with the help of catalysis by a class of enzymes known as hydrolases. The biochemical reactions that break down polymers, such as proteins (peptide bonds between amino acids), nucleotides, complex sugars and starch, and fats are catalyzed by this class of enzymes. Within this class, lipases, amylases and proteinases hydrolyze fats, sugars and proteins, respectively.
