Stomach

Usually only very young children, infants, the frail with underlying diseases, those with weak immune systems, and the elderly have complications from the stomach flu (viral gastroenteritis) that require urgent care or hospitalization. But, if they are unable to stay hydrated and eat properly due to vomiting and diarrhea, they can get serious problems with dehydration and maintaining the proper body chemicals to prevent major systemic organ failures. When this happens, they can get very ill and even die.

The stomach muscles of the stomach churn and mix the bolus with the help of chemical mixtures called bile, and enzymes.

What is commonly called the "Stomach Flu" is an acute contagious infection of the gastrointestinal tract that is caused by an RNA virus named Norovirus, which is from the family of viruses: Caliciviridae. It is not the same as "food poisoning" which is most often caused by bacteria.

"Stomach Flu" also goes by the more correct medical term of viral gastroenteritis, and by other nicknames like "Norwalk Flu," and, "Norwalk Agent." However, even though it is called "flu" by the common nicknames, it is also not actually the same as the flu (influenza). Influenza/flu is an infection also caused by a virus but it is quite different and affects the respiratory system instead of the digestive system and lasts usually 7 to 10 days.

The symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are often nausea, headaches, low grade fever, diarrhea and vomiting. You have malaise (feel terrible) and fatigue. Sometimes the diarrhea is incessant and can result in severe dehydration, if the fluids lost are not replenished, you may require hospitalization to treat the condition and prevent widespread organ injury or even organ failure.

It is typically a short illness of two to three days time, when you get plenty of fluids, rest, eat liquids instead of solids and then gradually increase your diet to solid foods as tolerated.

You can prevent the stomach flu if you wash your hands well and often, especially if you know that it is "going around". Use warm soap and water or sanitize your hands (hand sanitizer) often. Avoid nail biting or putting your fingers in your mouth. Eat healthy foods that are soft and bland once you can hold liquids down.

Dear Reader; There are so many possibilities that I could miss it altogether or say something that would cause you undo concern. This is a matter that you may take up with your health care provider. Your concern could be answered in a phone conversation if it lies within a small group of possibilities. Dwight

hi electric thing will not going to do any harm.Even in some hospitals they are doing the tests with some electrical equipments, but only thing is like you must handle it with atmost safe and carefully. pappuu hi electric thing will not going to do any harm.Even in some hospitals they are doing the tests with some electrical equipments, but only thing is like you must handle it with atmost safe and carefully. pappuu

probably something that has to do with the vitiams and meniarls in it

Spiracles p.s. I love pie

* Constipation is one of the most common reasons for abdominal pain. If you haven't had a bowel movement (poop) for a while or if it hurts to go to the bathroom or your bowel movements are hard, you are probably constipated. * Diarrhea is often caused by an infection that some people call "the stomach flu." Doctors call this type of diarrhea/infection gastroenteritis. When you have diarrhea - runny, watery bowel movements - you may also feel sick to your stomach. * Vomiting. Feeling sick to your stomach and throwing up can also be linked to gastroenteritis. The pain is one way your body tells you to stay near a bathroom! * An infection someplace else in your body may cause belly pain, too. A sore throat, pneumonia, an ear infection, or a cough can sometimes cause tummy trouble as well. * Food. Some kids get abdominal pain because they ate too much of something, ate a food that was too spicy or greasy, ate a food they have an allergy to, or ate food that sat around in the fridge for too long and went bad. The pain is the body's way of telling you that your stomach and intestines are having a tough job breaking down or digesting this food. For example, some people have lactose intolerance, which means they have a tough time digesting lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy foods. Whatever the cause, funky foods can quickly make your tummy feel funky! * Appendicitis or other painful problems. If the pain starts by your belly button and then moves to the lower right side of your abdomen, it might be appendicitis. Fever or vomiting, along with pain that gets worse and worse and a loss of appetite, can also be signs of appendicitis. * Severe pain also can be caused by a urinary tract infection or a blocked intestine. Infection by bacteria or a parasite, heartburn, irritable bowel disease, or inflammatory bowel disease also can cause abdominal pain. * Stress.Many, many kids (and adults, too) have a "nervous stomach" when they are worried or stressed.

yes you will unless the offender pulls out the knife

The structure that controls the release of material from the stomach to the small intestine is the Illeocecal valve. The structure that functions to prevent entrance of food into the trachea is the epiglottis.

If you've got a "bile buildup in the stomach", surgery may be required. Bile doesn't normally enter the digestive system until after the stomach, and if your digestive tract is flowing backwards, home remedies are not likely to help.

typically, it means your cold is almost over. See your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

It's an organ, but not an organism.

yes i have tried that DONT DO IT TRUST ME ITS NOT FUN, YOU TURN FAT RIGHT AWAY >.<

Yes, food and fluid can go from mouth to stomach no matter what position the body is in. While gravity helps when upright, muscular peristalsis continues whether you are upside down, or lying so the esophagus is mostly sideways. If you think about an astronaut, gravity is completely lacking. Yet, food still enters the stomach.

No carbohydrate digestion occurs in the stomach. Most of carbohydrate digestion is in the small intestine by the pancreatic amylase enzyme.

Carbohydrates leave the stomach first, second are proteins and last to leave are fats

The stomach is acidic in order to kill any bacteria that enter the stomach. The acid does not break down food, but contains an enzyme called protease, a form of pepsin, which breaks down proteins into polypeptide chains. No further digestion takes place in the stomach, as this takes place in the ileum, small intestine. The stomach has to maintain its acidity for the enzyme protease to function. The stomach acid is very acidic, but is also quite dilute, and the acid (Hydrochloric Acid) is fairly harmless in this diluted state.

The only verified cases of individuals born with two stomach organs are cases of conjoined twins. In these cases the individuals may share some body parts and organs but have a separate stomach for each twin.

"Toning" is a myth. There is a concept in anatomy and physiology called residual muscle contraction or tonus, but it refers to the continuous and partial contraction of a muscle to help stabilize posture and balance. It has nothing to do with the outward appearance of your body or whether you have tight glutes and washboard abs. You can be out of shape and struggle to climb a flight of stairs and still have muscle tonus. What you are really referring to is a fit, physical appearance. Among men, being toned typically means being very lean, with a "chiseled" muscular physique. For women, it usually means being lean, but with shapely muscles, an overall "tight" look, flat abs and the absence of jiggle in the thighs and backs of the arms. An example of a "toned" male might be male model Tyson Beckford and for females, someone like actresses Jessica Biel or Jennifer Garner or female fitness model Amanda Carrier. While the "toned" aesthetic is highly subjective, many people view "toned" as striking a balance between having enough muscle to have nice muscle shape and definition, without crossing the line into having the very muscular physique of a male or female bodybuilder. So while a toned body may be very lean and tight, it typically won't have over-exaggerated muscle mass. To achieve a toned aesthetic, you have to have two things: # The presence of muscle # Relatively low body fat levels A typical training routine to reach this goal would involve plenty of resistance and weight training (to build muscle) combined with long duration and high intensity interval cardio. It also requires a very clean diet with a good mix of lean protein, healthy fats and complex, slow-burning carbohydrates. Diet is critical at helping reduce body fat and maintain these lower body fat levels, which are required to allow the muscle underneath to appear. While many "toning routines" will recommend lower weights and higher reps -- especially for women -- this is actually a counter-productive approach to body sculpting. High reps build muscle endurance and may create a temporary (usually lasting only a few hours) tightness and "pump" in the muscle, but adding additional muscle requires lifting heavier and with lower reps. While variation in exercise weight and reps is always a good thing, consistently training with low-weights and high repetitions in the hope of avoiding becoming "bulky" or over muscular will not result in a toned physique. The concern about becoming too muscular or bulky is especially prevalent among women. However, females typically do not have the hormonal environment present in males to produce very large muscles or large amounts of muscle mass. There are exceptions of course, depending on genetics, but most women will be typically happier with their results after switching to a lower-rep and higher-weight routine. The best approach to achieving an overall toned appearance is to follow a full-body workout routine which emphasizes compound exercises. This ensures balance among muscle groups and will encourage an overall symmetry in the physique. Exercises would include things like squats, lunges and deadlifts for the lower body, and large pressing motions for the upper body and shoulders like dumbbell chest presses, rows, and military or dumbbell shoulder presses. Bodyweight exercises would include things like pushups. The core and abs are typically worked with these exercises, although some people do like to add some abdominal-specific training into their full body workouts. In terms of cardio, you would typically perform a combination of lower-intensity, longer-duration cardio with higher-intensity, shorter-duration cardio, also known as HIIT. Generally, you would perform your cardio on your non-weight training days. While weight training can add in lower body-fat levels, it won't accomplish this alone. This is why it should be combined with regular cardio training. Also, maintaining an exercise log is also critical to making sure you are always making progress toward your goal. In your log, you should record your exercises, the weight you used, the amount of repetitions and how many sets. Each workout, you should try to beat your last workout in some way, whether that is using a little more weight, performing one more rep, or adding in an additional set. This is known as "progression" and it ensures that you are always challenging your muscles a little more each workout. This is critical for continued gains in muscle and strength.

IM LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER TOO! SO ANYBODY WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, PLEASE...HELP!! Thanks..
