Stomach

The stomach is a part of the digestive system where food is broken down by acid. It is then transferred to the intestines.

If every action has an equal opposite reaction then is digestion of food in the stomach an action or reaction?

Every action has an equal opposite reaction unless acted upon by another contributing element to the equation. The stomach contributes caustic acid called bile to break down protein compounds. I think this process is an action that has a reaction.

Function of the stomach?

starts the digestion of the food

Physical and chemical digestion

Hydrochloric acid activates pepsin (protease)

Can the epiglottis flutter for any reason?

The epiglottis does not flutter. The part of the human body that is able to flutter is the thoracic diaphragm and these spasms are called hiccups.

What hormone makes your stomach grumble?

Hormones do not have anything to do with a grumbling stomach. The stomach walls are lined with muscle that contracts and expands all on it's own. Any food and liquids in the stomach cause grumbling noises as the stomach walls expand and contract.

How is action of PTYALIN stopped in stomach?

Ptyalin is an enzyme, which means that it is made up of proteins. When a protein enters the stomach, it is denatured by HCL, which is a kind of acid. This results in the Ptyalin no longer being effective.

Hydrocloric acid in stomach?

Hydrochloric acid is present in the stomach. It has a pH in the range of 1-2 depending on the amount and type of food consumed. It is about .5% of the liquid in the stomach.

You think you may be pregnant and now you are experiencing pain near the upper part of your stomach right under your breast and the mid area of your back and you are having difficulty breathing?

Those are not signs of pregnancy, but they are signs that something's wrong. It could be anything from bloating to cramps to symptoms of a heart attack. See your doctor.

Can i pee in your stomach?

I'll have to ask my dad first

Do you need your stomach in order to live?

Yes. Your stomach is what digests food. Once the food is digested, the nutrients are taken by your bloodstream to the rest of your body.

When you pull in your breath then your stomach will?

It will push out, if you are breathing from the diaphragm.

Is this alliteration stomach started to make sounds?

yes it would be considered an alliteration because the first two letters of the first two words match so that makes it an alliteration. it wouldn't be an alliteration if another word cut in between them. hope that answer helped.

Where is a parietal cell found?

Parietal cells are found in the fundic zone of the stomach.

Blood pressure 153 over 90. high cholesterol. severe stomach issues. diet of rice chicken and white fish. swim twice a week. medication for stomach only at present. Where should one go for help?

Healthy living does not cure all ills, unfortunately, and it may be necessary to see your primary care doctor for medications to control high blood pressure and cholesterol.

What are the four main regions of the stomach?

As far as I know, the cow has 4 main regions of the stomach: the rumen, reticulum, sub-omasum and omasum. They each have different sorts of functions.

What risks does stomach flushing have?

In addition, stomach flushing may stimulate bleeding from the esophagus or stomach. The patient may inhale some of the stomach contents, causing aspiration, pneumonia, or infection in the lungs.

The amount of water in the urine is regulated by what Kidneys Bladder Heart or Stomach?

Kidneys Function One of the most important roles of AVP is to regulate the body's retention of water; it is released when the body is dehydrated and causes the kidneys to conserve water, thus concentrating the urine, and reducing urine volume. In high concentrations, it also raises blood pressure by inducing moderate vasoconstriction. In addition, it has a variety of neurological effects on the brain, having been found, for example, to influence pair-bonding in voles. A very similar substance, lysine vasopressin (LVP) or lypressin, has the same function in pigs and is often used in human therapy. == AVP has three effects by which it contributes to increased urine osmolarity (increased concentration), and decreased urine excretion. These are: 1) It increases the permeability to water of the distal convoluted tubules and collecting tubules in the nephrons of kidneys and thus allows water reabsorption and excretion of a smaller volume of concentrated urine - antidiuresis. This occurs through insertion of additional water channels (Aquaporin-2s) into the apical membrane of the tubules/collecting duct epithelial cells. The aquaporins allow water to pass out of the nephron (at the distal convoluted tubules and the conducting tubules) and into the cells, increasing the amount of water re-absorbed from the filtrate. V2 receptors, G protein-coupled receptors coupled to Gs, on the basolateral membrane of the cells lining the distal convoluted tubules and conducting tubules (in the nephron) have an active site for AVP. The G protein, which is in contact with the V2 receptor inside the cell, move to adenylyl cyclase, triggering adenylyl cyclase to convert ATP into cAMP, plus 2 inorganic phosphates. The cAMP cascade then triggers the insertion of Aquaporin-2 water pores by exocytosis of storage vesicles. The repressor protein that regulates the gene for protein kinase A (PKA) has a binding site for cAMP, causing the repressor protein to change its shape and leave the operator region of the gene. This allows for transcription of the gene for PKA. PKA then signals ATP to dephosphorylate, providing energy for vesicles (which contain aquaporin channel proteins in their membranes) to fuse with the apical membrane of the cell. Calcium ions may also be required in this process, therefore it may be possible that, PLC (phospholipase C- beta) has an associated role. It should be noted that PLC can be activated by a G-protein coupled receptor. 2) AVP's second effect on the kidney is to increase the permeability of the papillary portion of the collecting duct to urea, allowing increased reabsorption of urea into the medullary interstitium, down the concentration gradient created from the removal of water in the cortical collecting duct. 3) The third effect that AVP has on the kidney is that it stimulates sodium reabsorption in the thick-ascending loop of Henle by increasing the activity of the Na+-K+-2Cl--cotransporter.

What 3 important jobs does the stomach have when digesting food?

the three main jobs are 1.churning the food 2.produce gastric juice 3.excretes hydrochloric acid
