What is it called when your stomach digests itself?
Autodigestion refers to the process where the stomach lining is damaged by its own digestive acids and enzymes, leading to inflammation or ulcers. This can occur due to a disruption in the stomach's protective mucosal barrier, causing the stomach to essentially digest 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.
By which process does DNA duplicate itself?
The process in which DNA duplicates itself is called DNA replication. This process is an important factor in biological inheritance.
What is damaged section of the stomach lining?
The stomach is a naturally acid environment protected by a thick layer of mucus. If the mucus wears thin, the acid can attack the stomach wall itself. That is called an ulcer.
What is the coating of the stomach important for?
The coating of the stomach, called the mucous layer, helps protect the stomach lining from being damaged by stomach acid and digestive enzymes. It acts as a barrier to prevent ulcers and irritation in the stomach.
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.
Why does the stomach have a thick muscle wall?
The function of the stomach wall is to protect your stomach from eating itself. It has a coating of mucus on the inside that renews itself every three days and stops the hydrochloric acid in your stomach from dissolving itself.
The process by which DNA copies itself is called?
DNA replication
When a flower fertilizes itself?
A process called self pollination
When DNA copies itself what is this process called?
DNA Replication :)
Which is the process by which DNA makes an exact copy of itself?
The process is called DNA replication.It is called DNA replications
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.
