    Amino Acid (Organic or Inorganic?) Organic Amoeba: Eukaryota Amperes: is When we vomit, the acidic nature of our stomach contents becomes immediately apparent both from the taste and from the burning sensation in our throats. The purpose of this acidity is to kill any bacteria we swallow with our food. In the stomach, digestive enzymes and a muscular churning action combine to reduce our food to a thick liquid called chyme. Chyme exits the stomach through a second sphincter and enters the small intestine. Typically, it takes the stomach about 4 hours to process a meal. The small intestine is about 20 feet long. In the duodenum, the first foot of the small intestine, digestion continues with the breakdown of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Some of the digestive enzymes at work in the duodenum are made by the small intestine itself. Others are made by the pancreas. Pancreatic enzymes play an important role in neutralizing food, which arrives from the stomach in a highly acidic condition. In addition, the small intestine receives bile, a substance that is produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder. Bile is an emulsifier?it breaks fats into tiny droplets that are more easily attacked by enzymes. Beyond the duodenum, the rest of the small intestine functions primarily in absorbing nutrients into the body. In order to be able to do this efficiently?that is, rapidly?the small intestine has a huge surface area. It is covered with numerous fingerlike projections called villi, each of which is in turn covered with tiny little projections called microvilli. Flattened, the small intestine would fill the area of a tennis court! Digested nutrients are absorbed across the surface of the small intestine into capillaries found inside each villus.…

    9. Compare and contrast the four layers of the alimentary canal wall (named above) in terms of their structure, function, and any distinguishing features. Mucosa is moist epithelial that secretes mucus, digestive enzymes and hormones. The submucosa is moderately dense connective tissue containing blood vessels and nerve fibers. The muscularis externa is responsible for segmentation and peristalsis. Is made of smooth muscle cells. Sphincters form that act as valves to prevent backflow and control food passage from one organ to the next. Serosa is the protective outermost layer…

    Milk of Magnesia

    Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia Our stomach acid is a mixture of different compounds that assist in the breakdown of foods that we ingest. One of the major components is hydrochloric acid (HCl(aq)). We need this acid to help digest our food and kill bacteria that may enter the stomach along with the food. In the absence of food there is an excess amount of acid in our stomachs. This excessive acid production results in the unpleasant symptoms of heartburn and may contribute to the formation of ulcers by irritating the stomach lining. To relieve such symptoms we often use antacids. Antacids are bases (most commonly bicarbonates, carbonates and hydroxides) that are used to neutralize the excess stomach acid.…
