What is the meaning of widely patent gastrojejunal anastomosis?
It means that there is a connection between your stomach and a part of your small intestine called your jejenum, that is open. If you imagine your stomach leads into your small intestine, which is subdivided into three parts. Your duodenum, jejenum and ileum. So the gastrojejunal anastomosis bypasses the duodenum, which is involved in food digestion.
What open sore in the lining of the stomach that may be caused by smoking?

What list gives the correct order of food traveling through the digestive system after it is swallowed?
The digestive system may be broken into two parts: a long, winding, muscular tube accompanied by accessory digestive organs and glands. That open-ended tube, known as the alimentary canal or digestive tract, is composed of various organs. These organs are, in order, the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The rectum and anus form the end of the large intestine. The accessory digestive organs and glands that help in the digestive process include the tongue, teeth, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gall bladder. -JoshuaP
What controls the passage of material from the small intestine to the large intestine?
There are structural (anatomical) and functional (physiological) ways the digestive system regulates how food is passed from the stomach to the small intestine. The major anatomical regulators are the pyloric sphincter (a muscular band that acts like a valve to open and close the connection between the stomach and small intestine) and the pyloric antrum (the part of the stomach commonly associated with stomach motility, mixing, and propulsion of stored foodstuffs into the small intestine). When the pyloric sphincter is relaxed and the antrum is active, food is propelled into the small intestine; when the sphincter is constricted and the antrum is relaxed, food is stored in the stomach. A number of physiological factors exist that regulate the activity of the pyloric sphincter and antrum. The principal regulators are nerves and hormones involved in the digestive process. The vagus nerve is an example of a nerve with major regulatory effects on motility of the stomach and small intestine. Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) are gut hormones also involved in stomach motility. Gastrin is secreted in response to food (particularly amino acids, the building blocks of proteins) in the stomach and stimulates antral motility that serves to mix food. Strong antral contractions cause opening of the pyloric sphincter and the movement of food into the small intestine. CCK is released in response to foodstuffs (particularly fats) in the small intestine and inhibits antral motility of the stomach.
What is the open space inside a structure such as the small intestine?
Lumen
Do you open the capsule or swallow whole when taking depakote?
Do not open it or crush the capsule it is made to be digested further in the intestine, not is the stomach that is why it is cintained in a capsule.
Which structure controls the flow of chyme to the small intestine?
The iliocecal sphincterThe ileum is the last (and longest) portion of small intestine. It empties into into the cecum (the first part of the "large intestine") at the iliocecal junction. The iliocecal sphincter is a ring of invountary smooth muscle at this junction, controlling the passage of digestive contents from the small intestine to the large intestine.
What is gastric-bypass surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery makes the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass part of the small intestine. You will feel full more quickly than when your stomach was its original size, which reduces the amount of food you eat and thus the calories consumed. Bypassing part of the intestine also results in fewer calories being absorbed, which also leads to weight loss. The most common gastric bypass surgery is a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RNY). In normal digestion, food passes through the stomach and enters the small intestine, where most of the nutrients and calories are absorbed. It then passes into the large intestine (colon), and the remaining waste is eventually excreted.In a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, the stomach is made smaller by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach using surgical staples or a plastic band. The smaller stomach is connected directly to the middle portion of the small intestine (jejunum), bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine (duodenum). This procedure can be done by making a large incision in the abdomen (an open procedure) or by making a small incision and using small instruments and a camera to guide the surgery (laparoscopic approach). The average cost for the gastric bypass procedure ranges from $18,000 to $35,000 if your insurance does not cover it. However you should think of having this surgery abroad it is much cheaper in reputable hospitals in Mexico, Costa Rica and elsewhere.
What does overeating do to the respiratory system?
It is my understanding that by engorging the stomach with food, it puts pressure under the lungs causing difficulty in taking a full deep breath. It can also cause the opening of the stomach to become open causing the acid from the stomach to regurgitate up into the esophagus. This acid can be regurgitated up into the esophagus causing heartburn. That acid can sometimes get into the lungs. Prolonged acid reflux can lead to esophageal cancer as the lining of the esophagus isn't able to handle the acid that the stomach produces. The stomach lining and esophagus lining are quiet different.
The pressure exerted by food on what valve causes it to open so that food can enter the stomach?
The lower esophageal sphincter. Actually it is triggered to relax by the nervous system as part of the swallowing reflex so the question is a bit overly simplistic if not just wrong.
How does alcohol affect the instestine?
Alcohol is very harmful and can affect everything in your body. Alcohol will cause inflammation of the stomach lining and increase acid production, causing ulcers (or open sores) and other problems. Please drink responsibly to prevent this.
