Why doesn't the stomach digest itself since it produces lots of acid and pepsin (a protease)? (a) What are the three enzymes for protein digestion that are found in the stomach? (b) What do they do? As the food in the stomach is repeatedly squeezed and mixed with ga...
6. Accidental swallowing of alkali will NOT be treated by swallowing of an acid.This is because D A the salt formed by neutralisation is toxic B the inorganic acid may cause 'heartburn' C the acid produced by the stomach will neutralise the alkali D the acid is also corrosive and will ...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) oracid refluxis caused by the backflow of stomach contents and acid into the esophagus. The condition can causeheartburnand damage the lining of the esophagus. Along with medical treatment,dietcan help reduce symptoms of GERD. The foods you consume can have a...
The acid produced by the stomach is essential for digestion, but if it comes back up into the esophagus, it may cause irritation. The lower esophageal sphincter, generally known as the lower esophageal ring, is a circular ring of muscle located at the base of your neck. This ...

Choose the correct answer: The organ that produces a protein-digesting enzyme activated by hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the A) pancreas B) esophagus C) stomach D) duodenum HCl: A. is an enzyme. B. creates the acid condition necessary for pepsin to wo...
When the LES doesn’t close completely or if it opens too often, the acid produced by your stomach can move upwards to the esophagus. This “trespassing” of acid is what causes heartburn.The common risk factors for acid reflux disease – a chronic condition called gastroesophageal reflux ...
This acid is produced by the cells present in the lining of the stomach, which produce the acid when they get a go-ahead from the feedback systems to which they’re attached. These feedback systems monitor the pH levels of the stomach and trigger the acid-producing cells as and when ...
