What happens when food leaves the stomach?

"Food" as a whole does not leave your stomach. By the time what you eat exits through the small intestine, blood supply and other systemic processes, it is broken down into usable parts such as minerals, proteins (in smaller parts amino acids) that can be used more readily by the body. The stomachs purpose is essentially to break down the larger pieces (solid foods and larger molecules of liquids) through a combination of enzymes and acid interactions. Once the breaking down takes place, other processes take over well before the waste (that we know as feces) takes over. Actually, the waste products are the last step where the large intestine extracts liquids and binds the waste to form our feces. When our digestive system isn't working properly, then we don't extract the necessary nutrients and purge the waste that we need to in order to function properly.

Cells in the wall of stomach produce pepsinogen. which plays a role in protein digestion. Why don't these cells digest themselves?

Because they are coated, along with the stomach, in a thick mucus made by glans in the stomach, when the mucus is penetrated by the acid, that is when ulcers are caused

Why doesnt meat tenderizer or pineapple juice break down the cells in your stomach?

They do (as do stomach acids {even faster & better}),

but slowly as the stomach is lined (coated) with mucus,

which "prevents" physical contact.

What does epithelial tissue do in the stomach?

If you are to full and you drink water can that water overflow into your lungs and drown you?

No, provided you are built normally. Your stomach can absorb a lot. If not you may vomit and there is always small risk in that if you do so while conscious and not able to be upright, then you can aspirate water into your lungs . Most likely you will find yourself needing to urinate .

There is such a thing as " water poisoning " . This is an expression which means you consume a large volume of water in a short period of time, causing electrolyte imbalance , which may lead to cardiac arrhythmia , and in rare cases, death.

What epithelial tissue lines the stomach and its microvilli and increase surface area for absoption?

There's some confusion here.

The stomach lacks microvilli as it is NOT an organ of absorption. It's function is to churn your food into an isotonic mush ...

so that

your small intestines, which do have microvilli, can absorb nutrients.

Why does a Sakabato blade have a curve?

The Sakabato (Lit: Reverse-Blade Sword) has a curve because, simply put, it is a fictional weapon. In the end, the Sakabato is not a functional weapon, and though the Manga Rurouni Kenshin popularized it, it would not be very practical in a real sword fight. But a more specific reason as to why, would probably be best described by the fact that it is meant to be a Katana. The Katana's design was meant to carry an edge on the outward part of the blade's curve, not the inner curve, and by reversing this make up the sword is actually much weaker than it would be.

The sharp edge was softer than the strong blunt side, and so when it hit something too strong for it to completely cut (if at all) , the sword would be more likely to chip, rather than snap. However with the Sakabato design, one would be striking with the strong blunt side and that would put much more stress on the metal, making it much more likely to snap, rather than chip.

Chokuto (or "straight Katana") are also weaker than normal katana, and again this comes from their construction. Curved blades are stronger than straight ones when it comes to slashing and cutting, while straight ones hold the advantage in thrusting.

This analogy might help explain: Think of a cube, and a hammer. You try to hit this cube with the hammer and it will be pretty simple, since the sides are flat, and don't move. The corners are a weak point because the sides all attach at those joints, making them able to collapse. But now try to hit a sphere with that hammer, no matter where you hit it, it'll be the same as hitting it anywhere else, there are no corners, and no weak points.

So if one were to try to make a functional Sakabato they would try to use the strongest design would they not? And that happens to be a curved blade. Then there is the other explanation that comes from its origin. The Sakabato was invented by the author of Ruorouni Kenshin, and the main character Kenshin Himura was a swordsman whom used Katana, so therefore his sword had to be in the design of a Katana or it wouldn't make sense.

It's more symbolic than anything else really, since using a Katana with the inner curve as the sharp edge is unwieldy and awkward, it would make it even harder for him to break his vow to not kill, he'd have to go out of his way to do so. And so that's why the Sakabato has a curved blade.

To see an example of a similar weapon that was used in Europe research the Falx, and/or the Rhomphaia. Despite the surmise of the above answer, these weapons were anything but unwieldy and cut with devestating amounts of power, forcing the Romans to upgrade their Armor and Shields.

i disagree as i weild a sakabato and it is perfectly functional and works very well admitted that people without a licnece can only purchase ones that do not work and are only for diplay but the balde still works and may be used once or twice before it breaks.

What happens to food before it enters your stomach?

Once food enters your mouth, saliva begins to break it down. When you swallow, the food moves down your esophagus to your stomach. The act of swallowing is also called deglutition.

If a young teenager sleeps on her stomach every night will that slow down or prevent the development of her breasts?

No this will not effect the development of her breasts. Each young woman develops at her own time and rate of development. Add on: Once she begins to develop and have breasts she'll automatically change positions in bed during the night because it will be uncomfortable.

What is the best way to get rid of water grass?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "water grass," but in our "coastal and bayou" country, we have what we call "marsh grass." Our marsh grass requires lots of rain, standing water, combined with our high humidity. If the grass does not have this environment, it simply dies out. I suggest that if you deprive your water grass of its water supply [buy improving drainage, or filling of the low spots] it also will die out.j3h.
