The composition of these pigments often reflect liver function and are sometimes used as a diagnostic for that organs function. The gut retains its own bacterial populations with their own ecology. There is evidence to believe that normal digestion requires the presence of these populations and that factors that affect these populations (antibiotics) can lead to digestive disorders. Intestinal cells are constantly removed from the lining of the gut. Gut epithelium has a structure similar to that of skin, with which it shares a common embryological origin. Such cells are egested.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
