Stomach

Pepsin in the stomach

There are many different nutrients that the human body needs, and there is no single food that has all of them, so it is necessary to have variety in your diet, and a more varied diet is more likely to give you all the nutrients that you need.

If you have tightness in the stomach, it could mean that you have been doing many muscular endurance excersizes, like sit ups, curl ups, pull ups, etc.

2-4 Litters.

The previous poster is partially incorrect.

In humans, the stomach has a relaxed, near empty volume of about 45 ml. It is a distensible organ. It normally expands to hold about 1 litre of food,[4] but will hold as much as 2-3 litres (whereas a newborn baby will only be able to retain 30ml).

The reason you can often eat more is some food is already being digest / passed through to the small intestine as you eat.

digests and breaks down your food to be further processed by other organs, and kills germs which have entered the stomach, say when you swallow when you have a cold/the flu (flem)
breaks down your food so it can turn into energy

Try drinking some Coke or Sprite and just sit down and relax or take a nap.

I've heard that you could try to take some Tylenol (Sorry if I spelled it wrong, I'm only in 7th grade. o.o), but Idk if it actually works.

it is usually gas. if you eat a lot of lettuce or bread it can cause it to bloat the most. if you feel like your stomache bloats a lot, especially if you eat fruit or sugar get tested for parasites. the most common one is giardia and can cause extreme bloating.

You can get a stomach virus by hanging a round a person who already has one well not if you touch him or her but if you drink after them or they sneeze or cough in your face if you kiss them then you'll probably get it. hope this helped
It can sometimes be from eating too much food or an aerial virus in the air.

Small intestine, pancreas , liver, large intestine

1.diet and exersize but dont listen to any of the equiptment on the tv ads and do lots of crunches and plank and dont eat sugary food often! (it kinda didnt work for me) soz it might work for u.

2.dont eat any food and when you get hungry have a piece of cheese!

3. get doctors to suck out the fat.

4. dont think aout it

The stomach is the main organ in the digestive system where the amino acids and enzymes are released to break down the food. Any potentially dangerous liquids are passed into the liver to be 'dealt with'.

The stomach walls have very small holes so that only things needed like glucose can pass into the blood stream. The acid breaks down the molecules of the food so that they are small enough to pass through, and the roughage is then moved on to the intestine.

The main acid in the stomach to aid in digestion is hydrchloridic acid. Several enzymes are also released.

The function of the stomach is to churn and turn the food into a liquid called chyme. The stomach also releases pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid which mixes to produce pepsin. Pepsin emulsifies protein and then the contents move through the pyloric sphyncter and into the small intestine for further breakdown and digestion.

When your stomach hurts, there are many things you can do to help soothe the pain. You can try taking a nap, drinking some ginger ale, taking a medication like Pepto-Bismol, or using a hot water bottle or heating pad.

In my both my pregnacies if I bent over too far too quick I got a bad cramp in my tummy, in bed twistin around I sometimes got pinching in my stomach, sitting doing laundry gave me tummy aches(backaches too) early on

Very low, it's some of the strongest natural acid there is.

If you place a steak in a bowl of Coca-cola, the meat will be gone in a few days. And yet, when you drink it, your stomach is fine. Just to put things in a bit of perspective.

A peptic ulcer is an ulcer of the stomach. Usually something injures the lining and so a hole develops. Sometimes, particularly in times of stress, it is the stomach;s own acid that causes the injury.

Well if your a female, it is usually Period Cramps.

Well if your a male I do not know.

Two ways.

Firstly an ultrasound can be done to see if the baby is still there. If they can identify the baby on an ultrasound, they will attempt to stop the bleeding (if you are severely bleeding). If no baby can be seen, they will assume it has broken away already and died.

Another way to check is to take a blood test. They will test the amount of HCG in your blood. On a normal pregnancy, this number will approximately double each day. Therefore in a non-emergency situation, by doing a blood test three days in a row, they will check your HCG levels. If they are doubling each day, you are fine. If they are steady or falling, you have lost the pregnancy.

you probably either have butterflys in your stomach or your not feeling well.

If bleeding is happening deep inside the digestive system, upon vomiting the blood will look more black than red. Similarly, blood from the upper digestive system that comes out in diarrhea looks black or dark purple rather than bright red. (Bright red blood in the latter case is usually from hemorrhoids or anal fissure.)

That said, some reddish blood can be present in the vomitus if an acute inflammation or abrasion of the upper stomach or esophagus is present. Usually there will be a metallic ("coppery") taste as well.

In any case, it's really better to call your primary care physician or your gastroenterologist if you have one. If not, a prompt-care or ED unit visit is a good idea, even if you don't continue to vomit or taste blood.

However, if you have recently suffered a blow to the abdomen, and then this happens, consider it an emergency and go to the ED.

And if you are experiencing these signs along with dizziness, weakness, spots in your vision, difficulty breathing, a bluish tinge to your lips and/or under your fingernails (cyanosis), low blood-pressure, rapid and thready heartbeat, and/or loss of consciousness (fainting; syncope), then CALL 911 RIGHT AWAY.

Bloody vomit or bloody diarrhea ought never to be taken lightly. If perforation takes place in the esophagus, the stomach or the intestines, and peritonitis sets in, death can follow very quickly even in a fairly healthy adult. In children and babies, the danger escalates far more rapidly.

The range of reasons a person might experience abdominal tenderness are as broad as the individual's meaning of the word "tenderness." In the worst case scenario, abdominal tenderness (pain) can be life-threatening and therefore requires immediate medical attention in the form of 911 or presentation to the local emergency room. The underlying cause of abdominal pain can be anything from abdominal aortic aneurysm to appendicitis, with many other options from which to choose. In other words, acute or immediate onset abdominal pain of unclear etiology isn't one of those conditions you want to ask your internet pals about. Go to the emergency room instead, particularly if there is fever, board-rigidity of the abdominal muscles, the presence of blood either vomited or in the stool/urine, the marked absence of bowel movements, a history of ulcer disease or colon disorders, gallbladder problems, pain between the shoulder blades, neck/chest/shoulder pain, dizziness/weakness/sweating/confusion, if you think you might be pregnant, or have experienced a direct blow/trauma of some type. On the other hand, if the "tenderness" is colicky, recurrent, waxing and waning, related to diet, or some other mild but annoying pain, it still needs to be checked out by a licensed medical professional. Don't mess around with abdominal pain. It's true that your tender abdomen could just be constipation or sore muscles, not thought of as life-stoppers. But, there are so many other things to rule out that at least a call to the local hospital nurse line is warranted. Most insurance companies now have a nurse line. or you can call the local hospital in your area. Just last year, the author knew someone who had a husband opposed to medical care and therefore refused to seek treatment for his abdominal pain, despite the severity. Less than 10 days later, he was deceased from a perforated duodenal ulcer. He literally sat in his chair at home and bled to death. The take-home message is to seek the level of treatment appropriate for any abdominal tenderness/pain.

The wall of the stomach is structurally similar to other parts of the digestive tube, with the exception that the stomach has an extra oblique layer of smooth muscle inside the circular layer, which aids in performance of complex grinding motions.
