How does digestive system avoid digesting itself?
The stomach lining is covered in mucus so that the protein-digesting pepsin won't eat away at the muscular lining. However, if the mucus wears off, you can get ulcers in the stomach.
What will happen if a lysosome breaks open?
Lysosomes contain powerful digestive enzymes and if they break open they would consume the cell itself.
Do tendons bleed?
Tendons themselves do not have a direct blood supply. However, they are surrounded by blood vessels that can bleed if there is an injury to the surrounding tissues, such as a tendon tear or rupture. In those cases, bleeding can occur around the tendon, but not within the tendon itself.
What is the name for the process that causes a species to evolve?
Evolution is enabled by natural selection: the ability of a species through its individuals to make long-term improved changes in its response to its environment through beneficial mutations, resulting in the species being able to reproduce itself more successfully than before.
How does a cell rid itself of defective of malfunctioning organelles?
Much is done by the lysosomes. These catalytic organelles can merge with defective organelles and digest them with enzymes made for that purpose.
What is the coating of the stomach important for?
Mainly to keep it from digesting itself.
How does the stomach prevent digesting itself?
The role that cells play in keeping the stomach from digesting itself is in the production of a thick, greasy mucus so that the stomach wall remains intact. This thick mucus is called glycoprotein.
How does digestive system avoid digesting itself?
The stomach lining is covered in mucus so that the protein-digesting pepsin won't eat away at the muscular lining. However, if the mucus wears off, you can get ulcers in the stomach.
How does your body protect itself from starvation?
stupid people ask stupid questions dont they ? The body would start by digesting the fat in your body, if hunger persist the body will start to eat itself
What is the resulting mutation when a a piece of chromosome attaches itself to a nonhomologous chromosome?
Translocations
Hydrochloric acid is also present in our stomach how will you justify it how does stomach protect itself from this acid?
Mucus produced by goblet cells in the lining the stomach forms a protective layer preventing the stomach from digesting itself.
When a piece of chromosome attaches itself to a nonhomologous chromosome the resulting mutation is called?
translocation
What pushes everything away from the center of an explosian?
It would be the explosion itself and the resulting shockwave.
What role do cells play in preventing the stomach from digesting itself?
The cell that might be used to help the stomach digest is called trypsin. Also is do to protection by the stomach mucosa that is resistant to the stomach digesting itself. The stomach is lined with dense layers of epithelial cells.
Will walking bring on a seizure?
There are all sorts of causes of seizures. Walking in itself would not be one of them. However someone with photosensitive epilepsy could have a seizure triggered if they encountered flashing lights or other interrupted light effects during a walk.
What role do cells play preventing the stomach from digesting itself?
Epithelial cells lining the inside stomach secrete a substance which prevents the stomach acid harming the lining of the stomach.
What sustance coats and protects the inside of the stomach?
The stomach is protected by the epithelial cells, which produce and secrete a bicarbonate-rich solution that coats the mucosa. Bicarbonate is alkaline, a base, and neutralizes the acid secreted by the parietal cells, producing water in the process. This continuous supply of bicarbonate is the main way that your stomach protects itself from autodigestion (the stomach digesting itself) and the overall acidic environment.
