Digestive System

alimentary canal

The pH of your stomach changes depending on what you are eating. If you are digesting a fat the solution can increase.

Nucleases are produced in the pancreas. These are enzymes that digest nucleic acids, and the word nuclease represents any nucleic acid breaker.

the soil that they grow in is too un-nutrient-ous

by the digestive system

no what? that dont make sense;why is the digestive system important for sport - NO ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

the picture is an unlabelled inside diagram of the lungs. It shows how your oesophagus keeps your airways clear of mucus, dirt or anything else that might threaten to block it using cilia which have a hairline structure.

How do antacids reduce indigestion?

(Lansing State Journal, October 26, 1994)

----

Gastric juice, the digestive juice used by our stomachs to digest food, is quite acidic -acidic enough in fact, to digest zinc metal! Our stomachs have a special lining that normally can handle these conditions by constantly shedding its cells and replacing them. Occasionally, however, such as when we eat something that is difficult to digest (like pizza with everything on it) or when we are under a lot of stress, our stomachs produce more acid than they can handle. The excess acid causes the stomach to shed the cells of its protective lining faster than it can replace them. If this happens occasionally we feel the discomfort of indigestion. If it happens a lot we can wind up with an ulcer. To take care of the excess acid, we can take an antacid. Antacids contain weak bases. Bases neutralize acids by reacting with them to form water and a salt. The reason weak bases are used instead of strong bases is because strong bases would neutralize too much acid and would most likely kill you.

no, the carnivores and the herbivores are not same by the sence of dijestive system. the car......... have rumen and a cemical called cellulose.

1.) Food enters the oral cavity

2.) Passes through pharynx

3.) Enters esophagus via glottis

4.) Involuntary wave of smooth muscular contractions (peristalsis) moves food down esophagus to cardiac stomach (food broken down by muscular contractions and gastric juices...hydrochloric acid and pepsin)

5.) pyloric stomach

6. small intestine via pyloric sphincter

-duodenum: digested food mixes with enzyme secreted by intestinal epithelium, bile form gallbladder, and enzymes of pancreas

-jejunum: chemical digestion and nutrient absorption takes place

-ileum

7.) enter large intestine via muscular sphincter

caecum: fermentation reservoir where cellulose is digested

-colon:

-descending colon

-rectum

*water reabsorbed form wastes of digestive tract, feces becomes more solid

8.) fecal matter expelled through anus

The etiology, or cause, of cholecystolithiasis which are also known as gallstones depends on the kind of stone. One variety of gallstones is caused by excess cholesterol, the other is caused when too many red blood cells are destroyed which leaves bilirubin in the bile.

If a person's small intestine is not working well food will not digest properly and it can become backed up inside the intestine. The person may experience stomach pain and need to see a doctor to obtain medication for cleaning out the intestine.

esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine

The gullet (when you swallow and the windpipe is shut off the food goes down into the gullet and muscles in the wall of the gullet contract-get smaller-to push the food down and the food gets pushed down to the stomach. if something is wrong with the gullet, food will get stuck and that will do lots of damage. )

The stomach (in the stomach the food is churned up with a strong acid of pH1-2. if you do not have a balanced diet the acid might not be strong enough and the food won't dissolve quick enough. )

The small and large intestine (particles that make up food are call molecules and these molecules are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine and turned from insoluble molecules to soluble molecules. in this process, the molecules get broken down to less than 1/4 of what they were before. sugars (e.g. glucose), vitamins and minerals are small and soluble in water and so can pass through the wall of the small intestine. larger insoluble molecules, like starch, fats and proteins, need to be broken up into small, soluble molecules by chemicals called enzymes.

the long intestine and the shorter intestine

if they can't break down the food ,the other stomachs will do the process

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.

faster transmission of nutrients thoughout the body

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.
