had before was about to change at the start of my high school career. The pains increased‚ the cramping continued day by day. My stomach had turned into a time bomb waiting to explode. I entered my High School geometry class‚ preparing for a quiz for the following day. Half way through the class‚ I started to have an excruciating pain on the left side of my stomach. I excused myself from class and went to the bathroom hoping that might relieve some pain. Ten minutes had passed and the pain did

WHICH ANTACID WILL NEUTRALIZE STOMACH ACID THE BEST AND IS MOST COST- EFFECTIVE? Description This experiment was conducted to find out how effective different types and brands of antacids are at neutralizing acid. I also looked at the cost of each product in order to determine if my hypothesis would be correct. The experiment was done using 4 brands of antacid‚ Pepto-Bismol‚ Gaviscon‚ Tums and Tagamet. Hypothesis All the antacids will neutralize different amounts of acid but the most

During swallowing‚ the air passages are blocked so food goes to the stomach and not the lungs. Swallowed food then travels down the esophagus toward the stomach. In the esophagus the bolus is moved along by contractions of the smooth muscle called peristalsis. These contractions move the bolus along from the esophagus through the large intestine. After the food travels through the esophagus‚ it goes to the stomach. The stomach is an expanded portion of the gastrointestinal tract that serves as a

Calcium can be viewed as the most notable change because of lead’s ability to replace calcium in many of the intracellular regulatory procedures. Calcium is an intercellular mediator that acts either as a signal or a secondary messenger for many functions of the submandibular glands. This decrease in the absorption of calcium is believed to cause the destruction of the mitochondria which causes rapid energy depletion and impedes transportation. This will stop cells from their normal function and

Once the bolus reaches the stomach‚ it is mixed with different acids and from there it is transformed into a chyme. Most people think that the food is digested in the stomach‚ but the food that we eat is only partially digested in our stomachs. Chemical digestion in the stomach is caused by gastric juice which is a mixture of water‚ mucus‚ hydrochloric acid and pepsin (Grosvenor & Smolin‚ 2006‚ pg. 73). Our liver‚ gallbladder and pancreas are located near our stomach and they aid in the digestive
Free Digestion
The primary function of the digestive system is to break down food and help your body absorb the nutrients from this food. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract‚ which includes the esophagus‚ stomach and intestines and other organs that aid in digestion such as the liver‚ pancreas and gall bladder. The breaking down of food for digestion begins in your mouth. As you eat something‚ your teeth break down the food‚ and your saliva helps to breakdown and it moistens the food so

values similar to the ones found in the stomach‚ will have the largest increase in invertase activity. A semilinear decrease in rate was found as the pH level was lowered below 5‚ and a substantial decrease found in any environments with a pH higher than 5. The stomach average pH level‚ being between 1.5-3.5‚ directly correlates to the most efficient pH levels for invertase activity‚ perhaps supporting the theories that either enzymes adapted to our stomach acid’s pH or the human body’s anatomy adapted
