Will food be able to reach your stomach when you are standing on your head?
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.
Which enzyme digests Carbohydrates in stomach?
No carbohydrate digestion occurs in the stomach. Most of carbohydrate digestion is in the small intestine by the pancreatic amylase enzyme.
What does it mean when you have a stomach ache immediately after eating?
There is a long list of things that can mean. Some of the more common ones are a viral stomach illness, what some people call stomach flu and doctors call AGE.
Also, some bacterial infections can do that as well as some inflammatory bowel diseases. Irritable bowel syndrome is another possibility and this list is only the tip of the iceberg. Or, Probably just food poisoning, usually nothing to worry about. It can be treated with over the counter medications such as Pepto Bismol, but if you feel very sick, you should visit your doctor.
What types of food remain in the stomach the shortest time?
Carbohydrates leave the stomach first, second are proteins and last to leave are fats
Why is acid needed in the stomach?
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.
What are the best exercises for toning?
"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.

Muscular waves in the stomach mix and churn the contents of a meal with?
The contents of a meal in the stomach is mixed and churned during digestion. Aiding in the digestion process along with the muscular waves, are acids and enzymes.
Why does your stomach growl when you are hungry?
Stomach noise - such as rumbling, gurgling and growling - typically is due to normal digestion. Stomach growling can occur when you're hungry. But it can also occur after eating or between meals when food is passing through your intestines.
Hunger and appetite are controlled by a complex system of hormone-like substances primarily made by your digestive system. When you haven't eaten for a while, these substances are released and cause a part of your brain called the hypothalamus to "switch on" your desire to eat. A message is then sent to your stomach and intestines. This triggers muscle contractions and the release of acids and other digestive fluids - which causes the rumbling, grumbling sounds you hear - as your body prepares for you to eat. The thought, sight or smell of food also can trigger this response.
Sometimes excessive stomach noise can be a symptom of an underlying gastrointestinal disorder, such as irritable bowel syndrome. But in such cases, stomach noise usually is accompanied by other signs and symptoms such as bloating, cramping, diarrhea or excess gas.
What causes severe leg cramps in the upper part of the legs and into the stomach?
I don't know what causes these leg cramps but, when you get them you can take a teaspoon full of yellow musturd and in a few seconds the cramp will start letting go. It just happened to me last night and my husband gave me musturd and it worked. The soreness is still there but the cramp was gone.
Bleeding from the vaginal area when you're not on your period is NEVER a good sign. You could be bleeding internally -- especially since you mentioned someone hitting you in the stomach. Please seek professional medical help!
Why does your stomach not digest itself if it can digest raw meat?
The stomach lining is impervious to the acids in the stomach, therefore the digestive enzimes and acids do not have the ability to digest the stomach. Also raw meat is not immediately digested by the stomach, some people have had up to 5 lbs. of undigested raw meat in their intestines at times of surgury and autopsy.

Does a stomach ever get so full you can't eat anymore?
It can, depending on your size. Oh, and if you want to throw up!
What is the surface covering medial region of the stomach?
Well... Depending on the person it could be a number of substances. Me personally, its my penis. If someone is a weed smoker it is probably cheesecake. Then only way to know for sure is to apply extreme heat to your left toe, then apply jelly to the rim of your anus, finally you must discharge your bowels on to a coffee table or a hardwood floor. You must test the Ph of this to determine what the surface is composed of. To do this, take the color that the Ph strip turns and find a food or other material that is the same color. Then you will know.
Which acids are produced in the stomach and why?
The stomach produces hydrochloric acid as a primary aid to digestion.
What does the stomach do to the food you eat?
The stomach breaks down food mechanically and also produces chemicals for digestion. Most of the nutrients broken down in digestion are absorbed by the small intestine In the large intestine, water and minerals are absorbed and waste material is stored. Solid waste is eliminated through the rectum.
Do women have less enzymes in their stomach to break down alcohol?
Women are usually smaller than men, and require less of any drug to get high. In addition, they do not produce as much of the enzyme that metabolizes alcohol, so the buildup in the blood is faster and lasts somewhat longer on average.
