What's the difference between egestion and ingestion?

Egestion


Definition:

  • (n.) Act or process of egesting; a voiding.

Example Sentences:

  • (14) The pellet was moved out of the esophagus by antiperistalsis during the last 8--10 s before egestion.
  • (15) Exerting a differential effect on all four steps, CB inhibited DV release from the cytopharynx, egestion of defecation-competent DVs at the cytoproct and lengthened the duration but did not block the lysosomal fusion-digestion step of the acidic DVs; it was most potent in blocking acidification, which prevented both lysosomal fusion with the labeled DVs as well as DV egestion, the latter for more than 50 min.
  • (16) It is also shown that luminal plasma membranes undergo a very active ebb and flow during the egestive phase of secretion.
  • (17) Their formation is connected with egestion of the large bundles of fibers formed by phagocytosis.
  • (18) Both faecal output and worm fecundity respond as might be predicted to a period of host food deprivation; faecal egestion and measurements of epd are significantly depressed, and measurements of epg are significantly increased.
  • (19) The characteristic prolonged plateau potential of the VWC was frequently associated with the egestion motor program but never with the ingestion motor program or its characteristic components.
  • (20) But all of those papers have a basic assumption that the capacity of the environment is so large that the change of toxicants in the environment that comes from uptake and egestion by the organisms can be neglected.

Ingestion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of taking or putting into the stomach; as, the ingestion of milk or other food.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The absorption of ingested Pb is modified by its chemical and physical form, by interaction with dietary minerals and lipids and by the nutritional status of the individual.
  • (2) Concentrations of several gastrointestinal hormonal peptides were measured in lymph from the cisterna chyli and in arterial plasma; in healthy, conscious pigs during ingestion of a meal.

  • (4) The measurement of the intestinal metabolism of the nitrogen moiety of glutamic acid has been investigated by oral ingestion of l-[15N]glutamic acid and sampling of arterialized blood.
  • (5) In vivo studies were performed in five healthy subjects for at least 3 h after ingestion of radiolabeled meals.

  • (10) The onset of the symptoms usually occurs within a few minutes after ingestion of the implicated food, and the duration of symptoms ranges from a few hours to 24 h. Antihistamines can be used effectively to treat this intoxication.
  • (11) The interaction between PE and E-IgG involved the extension of micropseudopods toward adherent E-IgG, the formation of a linear uniform cap of roughly 200 A between opposing cell membranes, the ingestion of E-IgG by PE into a membrane-lined compartment, and the disintegration of the ingested ligand into membranous debris.
