How you can clean your stomach from insect?
If you have eaten an insect, for example, a fly, your best bet is to swallow a spider to catch the fly, don't ask me why.
What should the location of the baby be in relation to the navel area of your stomach?
That depends how far along the person is. We measure to the top of the uterus (the "fundus") at each visit to check for normal growth of the baby. For most women, the top of the uterus reaches the umbilicus (belly button) by about 20 weeks of pregnancy. It then goes approximately one centimeter higher per week until the end of pregnancy (about 40 weeks). Hope that helps! Dr. B.
Bile is typically an greenish-brown color, the color varies based on the chemicals present in the stomach. In its natural state with no food or chemicals consumed, the bile should not be red.
How is the stomach protected from acid?
The stomach is protected from acid by mucus, a slippery substance. The mucus covers the inside of the whole stomach. If there is a patch of mucus that is not there then it will cause a lot of pain from the acid.
Can a 30A 240V outlet be replaced by a 20A 240V one?
You can, but be advised that whatever you plug into the new outlet should not exceed 5000W capacity (20A x 250V = 5000W)or you could risk overheating the new outlet with serious results. To prevent this, you should make sure the circuit breaker is a 20A also.
How does the body neutralize the acidic material leaving the stomach?
is it when it enters your intestines where secretions from your pancreas neutralize the stomach acids
Blood in stool appears how frequently in stomach ulcers?
This occurs in cases of the more severe stomach (and duodenal) ulcers. Blood is oxidized, by the time it travels all the way through the intestine and the colon and, therefore, stools appear as blackish or "tarry".
How do you expand your stomach capacity?

What does 'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach' mean?

Are cramps gas vomiting upset stomach diarrhea and weight gain symptoms of a digestive disorder?
- Doctors will pass this off as IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and there is no such disease (I had that confirmed by a Gastroenterologist.) In many cases it can be the depletion of the mucus lining of the stomach (happens in many people.) I would see a Homeopathic doctor and discuss this with them. There are many things that will help build up the mucus lining of the stomach. It wouldn't hurt to have a good physical and also be checked out for thyroid (T3/T4 blood test) and gall bladder as these can cause the same symptoms.
Have you tried a pregnancy test? These are symptoms of digestive disorder, but they are also symptoms of many other ailments as well.
Yes, they are symptoms of a digestive disorder.
All these symptoms can be caused by PREGNANCY...the weight gain for obvious reasons, the others as side effects of the hormonal changes. The digestive changes usually cease after the first 3 months.
They can also be caused by eating a diet very high in refined carbohydrates, but low in fibrous vegetable matter. The lack of fibre makes the stools very loose, while gas (and resulting bloating) are caused by the fermentation of partly digested food in the digestive tract. The bloating creates pressure which causes pain, which can be severe enough to cause vomiting. As such a diet usually also involved excessive quantities of carbohydrates, there is an excessive intake of calories, leading to weight gain.
The rise of such symptoms is in step with the rise of obesity in a population; supposedly more than 25 million Americans (some 10% od the population) suffer from such symptoms under the catch-all title of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a syndrome often self-diagnosed thanks to the widespread publication of the symptoms by drug manufacturers offering over the counter remedies for it. IBS is much less known in countries with lower obesity rates.
The majority of digestive disorders caused by disease lead to weight LOSS, as most digestive system diseases prevent proper digestion and absorption of nutrients, including glucose, and often additionally cause eating-related pain/nausea and reduced appetite.
The stomach is not a recent evolutionary adaption. The first creatures to have stomachs developed billions of years ago in the early oceans. These were simple-celled organisms with specialized organelles that broke down the food absorbed from the environment and expelled the waste. (These are comparable to the human stomach and digestive track, just much simpler.) As these organisms became more and more complex through the forces of natural selection, so did their digestive systems. They eventually split and gave rise to aquatic insects (crustaceans), fish, octopi, mollusks, etc. The first creature with a stomach to walk on land was the aquatic insect, the ancestor of today's insects. Then came fish, led by the lobe-fin, which also had rudimentary lungs and limbs capable of bearing weight. Terrestrial fish gave way to amphibians, which gave way to reptiles, which gave way to birds and mammals. Mammals are vertebrates like cows, dogs, lions, horses, bears, and apes. Humans are descended from a line of proto-apes. Our modern stomach is therefore the result of billions of years of evolution.
There are many overall similarities between the stomachs of various animals. This points to common ancestry. For more on the similarities (and differences) between fish, amphibian, and mammalian stomachs, see the paper linked below.
What is the pH of stomach acid after taking an antacid tablet?
Usually about 7, because antacid tablets neutralize your stomach and the pH of 7 is neutral. Hope this helps:)
What is the space containing the liver gallbladder and stomach also called the abdomen?
abdominal cavity
Why does stomach acid have to have a very low pH level and how that level affects digestion?
The cells of the stomach make an pro-enzyme called pepsinogeen. When pepsinogeen is secreted in the acidic (pH 2-3) environment of the stomach it transforms into pepsine, an enzyme wich breaks down proteins. If pepsine was made directly in the cells, it would destroy the cell before it would secreted in the stomach.

Why do my bala sharks keep dying when they seem healthy?
I'm pretty sure bala sharks are just another name for silver sharks. So, the temperature should be at 25 degrees (I'm from Australia, i think its 78F?) So make sure that's ok, if you dont have a heater get one. Check the brand of food your feeding them. The dodgey supermarket or cheap foods are no good... go something like Wardley Flakes or Nutrafin flakes... the more you pay for food normally the higher quality it is. Also make sure there's enough oxygen. Add an air pump if you don't have one. And check PH and HARDNESS. You can get those test kits from your local aquarium. Also if its a new tank you have set up it might be lack of good bacteria. You can get some liquid called pura water that will fix that up. And I trust your using chlorine neutralizer and conditioner to treat your water before you put it into the tank. Also get a bigger tank and some smaller fish to help it survive longer
What to take as home remedy for stomach?
It depends what is wrong with your stomach. Anything that requires more than an antacid needs to be diagnosed by a doctor.
The stomach is involved in defense against infection by?
secreting acid that destroys potential pathogens that are swallowed
Where does sugar and salt go after passing through the stomach?
Sugar and Salt are both extracted by the villi in the large and small intestine. They are small finger shaped cells which are well adapted to absorbing all nutrients required by the body. Salts are sent in the bloodstream to the kidneys where the blood is filtered, and can be stored. Sugar in the blood is converted to glucose and stored as energy in the form of glycogen as what we know as 'fat' in the tissues. Hope this helps!!
