Stomach

Actually it is good, because tightening your stomach muscles strengthens them and supports your back, especially if you are lifting or moving something.

pyloric part ( pyloric antrum and pyloric sphincter)

How are you really supposed to know that ? I mean it's not like people get to look inside >.<

that's not true...your doctor should be able to know that. they have ways of looking all in yours stomach these days using mri for xray images or endoscopy using a microscope that they stick down your throat ( while you are knocked out of course).

A stomach generally becomes enlarged because the space inside has increased. Therefore, an enlarged stomach is usually called gastric dilation.

your gonna die in about two minutes after reading this but why did you eat it in the first place?

the smooth muscles in the stomach help move the food through it. It breaks down the food with various chemicals. It passes the food into the small intestine which absorbs most of the nutrients

It is actually said through all text books and book i have read that it is 2 to 5 hours that food stays in the stomach.

According to the Mayo Clinic, it is 6-8 hours for both the stomach and small intestine. The problem is that there exist other factors that never seem to be mentioned.

The single biggest factor is whether the digestive fluids are at full strength, or have they have been cooled or diluted by liquids taken with meal, which is the sure way to stop or slow a chemical reaction? If liquids are consumed with meal (common error), the length of the digestion process is lengthened, which exposes the stomach tissue and the esophagus to acid erosion, elevating risk of ulcers and esophageal cancer.

The second "time" factor is the complexity of the food eaten. Digesting a huge thanksgiving feast requires a far greater release of digestive juices and time than a meal consisting of a large salad and piece of fish. Up to 80% of the energy available in a large complex meal can be used just in the digestion process.

A large complex meal of proteins, vegetables, starches, and carbohydrates can stay in just the stomach for up to 8 hours.

Unknowingly, people who snack consistently are also lengthening digestion time, as each new dose of undigested food will delay the movement of the digested food from the stomach into the small intestine.

Upper GI endoscopy is visual examination of the esophagus and stomach.
It is called - Gastroscopy
The medical term meaning visual examination of the esophagus and stomach is a Gastroscopy. During this procedure, a thin and flexible fibre optic tube with a camera on the end is passed through the mouth, down the oesophagus and into the stomach. The images from the camera are shown on a monitor which the doctor can see throughout the procedure.

Chemical and mechanical ingestion take place in the mouth. Chemical and mechanical digestion also take place in the stomach. Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine.
Ingestion, digestion then absorption.
In the mouth, both chemical digestion and mechanical digestion happen. The mechanical part is your teeth crushing the food into smaller pieces. The chemical part is when the salivary glands give off a special fluid that contains enzymes. When food enters the stomach, an enzyme is released that helps to digest food chemicaly. The muscles in the stomach also digest food mechanicly. Lastly, the small intestine completes the chemical and mechanical digestion of food. The small intestine takes out all the useful matirial and sends it to the cells as tiny molecules that the cells use in cellular resparation.Baisicly, they all use chemical and mechanical digestion.

Yes your stomach does shrink,because when you diet and you dont eat as much your stomach is used to the shortage of food ...............it shrinks.Like when fat people have gastrick bands put round there stomach to make it smaller so they loose weight.I am not quite sure how it works but...I hope i this help's.

Yes - the condition is known as non-productive emesis or dry heaves. The stomach diaphragm and esophagus spasm just like they do when the stomach is full, but nothing comes up.

Sometimes a miscarriage can happen as a result of medical conditions that prevent the woman form ever having children. However many women have miscarried, and later been able to have healthy children.

=== === Yes you do need your stomach, because you need your stomach for breaking down food by an enzyme called pesin. And also there is also a very strong acid in your stomach called "Hydrocloric Acid" which destroys nearly all germs/bacteria in your food.The stomach has a tough enough lining to hold up in this highly acidic environment.

It uses both mechanical and chemical breakdown. The muscles of the stomach and the stoma (well a special opening that allows food to enter and to leave) push food into the intestines. Acid within the stomach and other no so famous chemicals break down the food to be small enough to be processed in the intestines and colons. Another device helps the stomach and uses chemical breakdown too: The gall bladder emits bile and the liver filters broken down matter and dangerous matter (such as alcohol, diseases, foreign matter (smoke, marijuana, poison, etc).

erlax Someone has suggested "erlax" I am not sure what this is, but your doctor or nurse is the best resource as they can prescribe a medication that is safe for both you and your baby to take to ease your morning sickness. You may also want to keep a small diary and see if you are eating any foods that are causing additional stomach upset. Be sure to check with your health care provider or even a pharmacist to see what might be safe for you to take during pregnancy, most especially if the "sickness" you describe is interfering with your ability to drink fluids or to eat. You want to be sure you don't get dehydrated (not have enough fluid in your body) or malnourished (not have enough food and vitamins in your body) for you and a healthy baby.

If you have an upset stomach, then the best thing to do is not to eat anything. I know this sounds like you will be very hungry... and I'm sure you will. But if you have decided not to eat, then try drinking full sugar flat lemonade acting as meals. Without any food or drink, your blood sugars get VERY low. So drinking flat lemonade (NOT reduced sugar) will help incresase those levels. The reason why you you drink the lemonade FLAT, is that, the 'fizziness' of the lemonade aggrivates the lining of the stomach, causing you to bring all your evening/lunch/breakfast meals back up! (Not nice eh?) So just drink flat lemonade, and see how you get on. ( It worked for me!!!)

Depending on how hard and how often you were kicked, most of the time it'd hurt, it'd likely bruise, but further injury isn't all that common.

Naturally, repeated injury, or a very severe impact can have all manner of results, some fatal. However, in your standard street fight, it's hard to build up the momentum to accurately kick someone in the stomach and have it do truly serious injury.

More than that is hard to say, as it depends on what internal structures were hurt, how hard the kick was -- the whole set of circumstances that make up the whole picture.

My advice then is avoid being the kicker or the kickee whenever possible.

The epigastric region is located above the stomach.

The greater omentum

It is called belly button which shows up outside on stomach.

pancreas

it takes around 45 minutes for water to pass through but if its a slightly thinker liquid it takes around 46 minutes it takes around 45 minutes for water to pass through but if its a slightly thinker liquid it takes around 46 minutes

Maybe you should drink more water, it happens-lack of H20. You should go to the doctors and check it out, it could be many things like-liver damage, or an infection. I hope this is helpful- but honesty go to the doctors

A feeding tube is used to provide nutrition to an individual who is not able to properly feed themselves. The feeding tube involves placing a tube in the esophagus or stomach in order pass nutrients through the body.
