What is the function of the esophagus stomach valve in the digestive system?
The esophagus-stomach valve, also known as the lower esophageal sphincter, is a muscle that controls the flow of food and liquids from the esophagus into the stomach. Its main function is to prevent stomach contents from flowing back up into the esophagus, helping to prevent acid reflux and heartburn.
What is the function of the valve at the top of the stomach and how does it contribute to the digestive process?
The valve at the top of the stomach is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Its function is to regulate the flow of food and liquids from the esophagus into the stomach and prevent them from flowing back up. This helps to keep the stomach contents in place and aids in the digestion process by allowing the stomach to properly break down food without refluxing back into the esophagus.
What is the function of loose connective tissue in the stomach?
Loose connective tissue in the stomach provides support and flexibility to allow for the stomach to stretch as it accommodates varying food volumes. It also contains blood vessels and nerves that supply the stomach wall with nutrients and facilitate its motor functions.
Renewal or modification of the cell membrane is a function of the?
Renewal or modification of the cell membrane is a function of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus in eukaryotic cells. The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes lipids and proteins for the cell membrane, while the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying and packaging these molecules before they are transported to the cell membrane.
What kind of endoplasmic reticulum are you likely to find in cells that line the stomach?
Cells that line the stomach will likely contain rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) because these cells produce and secrete digestive enzymes and mucus. The RER is responsible for protein synthesis and modification before they are transported to other parts of the cell or secreted.
How do 3 layers of smooth muscle relate to the function of the stomach?
It allows the stomach to move food along the tract, but also to churn, mix, and pummel food, physically breaking down food into smaller fragments
How does the muscularis externa of the stomach relate to the function?
The third layer, the obliquely oriented layer, of smooth muscle in its muscularis externa allows the stomach to churn, mix, and pummel the food, physically reducing it into smaller pieces.
What is the primary function of the stomach?
The primary function of the stomach is to digest food.
How do the epithelia of the esophagus and stomach relate to their specific functions?
By relating to their specific excretions. While they do share some excretory functions and products, the main function that they do not share is that stomach epithelial cells secrete hydrochloric acid.
What is the function of the rugae or folds in the stomach?
The function of the rugae on the stomach wall is to aid in digestion. This smooth's out as the stomach is filled with food.
What is the function of nervous tissue in the stomach?
It controls the function of the muscles of the wall of the stomach and the muscular sphincter. Also, the nervous tissue controls the secretory function of the stomach.
How is the structure of a podocyte relate to its function?
regulates glomerurlar function
What is the fucntion of the stomach?
The function of the stomach is to digest the food. hhahaha
What does the blood tissue function in the stomach?
The function of the blood tissue in the stomach is to mainly control the processes in the stomach. This includes regulating acid production and coordination of the stomach muscles among others.
How do the structures in an organsim relate to its function?
the people
Comparing Cells - size and shape relate to what?
The cells size and shape relate to its function.
What is the function of the cisternae?
The function of the cisternae is the modification of proteins into the final products. The cisternae are found and make up the Golgi Apparatus.
