Iron coli project

Disease model

Introduction

At the beginning of the project, we must explore iron metabolism of a human. This model is the result of this exploration. So, we make a model of a healthy person.

Observations

The most of absorbed iron is in the duodenum. Naturaly, the middle is the duodenum. The duodenum is the first part of the intestines. It is located right after the stomach, and is usually 300mm long.

Figure 1 : Overview of the iron regulation system in human body.

Goals

Assumptions

Constant iron flow
Homogeneous fluid
The patient ingests 20mg of iron per day (Guideline Daily Amounts)

Materials and methods

Results

Figure 1 : Iron in the middle and absorbed in the duodenum of a Healthy person.

Figure 2 : Iron in the middle and absorbed in the duodenum of a sick person.
