Digestive System

Pharynx

The appendix is an offshoot of the first part of the large intestine and therefore in good position to destroy bacteria (which are present in large numbers in the intestine) it therefore prevents this bacteria from getting outside the intestine wall. Basically, the appendix along with other groups of tissue (lymphoid tissue) helps protect the digestive tract from the huge amount of pathogens which enter it.

The name of the mechanical process that breaks up food in the stomach is known as peristalsis. During peristalsis, the muscles of the digestive system contract and relax, moving food along the gastrointestinal tract.

If you accidentally swallow a completely indigestible tiny object, it will pass through in your stool. How would a cherry remain in your digestive tract for that long? This kind of story may come from the fact that maraschinos appear to be all preservative and artificial coloring, and no cherry.

i have tablets that i have to take that i got from my local health food shop. it is called slippery elm. its great!

Who knows as yet?I understand there is a new treatment,I think call radiofrequency ablation.However,I think because it is new ,more study ,may be needed.For example,will it return at a later date or not?I do think it has work in as least some cases.Who know if it will return or not.I am interested in such things,since I have this condition.Also,will it help to prevent cancer or not?Maybe,only time will tell.I do ,of course hope there is more study into these matters.Maybe,someday we will indeed find a fix for Barett,s esophagus,whether radio ablation or something else.

NO. Windpipe is the Larynx and pharynx, and the esophagus is the tube to the stomach. The airway is closed off by a flap of skin, as you swallow, to prevent food or drink from getting into the "windpipe". If you have ever been strangled on something you swallowed, you know what happens when the latter is a little slow to cover the opening.

Antacids work by neutralizing acid and coating the stomach. Antacids should be taken 1 hour after meals or when gastro esophageal reflux disease symptoms occur. Liquid antacids usually work faster than tablets or chewable. Antacids are useful because they relieve symptoms rapidly. But relief is only temporary. Over-the-counter antacids do not prevent symptoms from returning or rarely allow an injured esophagus to heal.

nope.

gullet

The small intestine, I believe.

chemical digestion

If at school, raise your hand (or follow whatever rule your teacher has set). If in church, a meeting, or other group, politely excuse yourself. You do not need to say why you need to leave; just say you'll be back in a minute.

Its just the physical action i think.

Bile is made by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.

It smells like that because your food is being digested and when you burp, your stomach acid (that has broken down other foods) lets the smell out.

And it doesn't only smell like rotten eggs.

It's like when you let out gas.

lipase enzyme

your oessaphagus is the tube that brings your food from your mouth to your stomach

It's a non-digestible carbohydrate for humans that keeps us regular. It adds bulk to the stool and is a type on insoluble fiber. By this action it reduces chance of many gastrointestinal diseases. It also slows down digestion in your stomach and gives you a full feeling longer. Also slows down digestible carbohydrate absorption and regulates blood sugar.

A lot of benefits, way too many to get into, so do your research.

If one of the organs in the digestive system, then.

The same way all mammals do. It first uses saliva to start breaking down food and hydrochloric acid to finish the job.

It's very high in sugar, which is bad for you, but it is probiotic, which is good for your digestive system. There is Yakult Light in other countries, but it is not available in the US yet.

It depends on what you eat.
