Can You Overdose on Ginger? Ginger, in capsules or as tea, can help ease the discomfort of discontinuing certain acid-suppressing drugs. The acid-suppressing drugs known as proton pump inhibitors are intended for treating serious acid reflux known as gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD.
Connected to each kidney is a ureter, a tube through which urine passes into the urinary bladder, a sac that stores urine until it passes out of the body through the cloaca. The organs of the male reproductive system are the testes, sperm ducts, and cloaca. Those of the female system are the ovaries, oviducts, uteri, and cloaca. The testes produce sperm, or male sex cells, which move through sperm ducts, tubes that carry sperm into the cloaca, from which the sperm move outside the body. The ovaries produce eggs, or female sex cells, which move through oviducts into the uteri, then through the cloaca outside the body.
Water moves upward through a plant through the xylem tissue. Along with water, xylem also transports dissolved minerals, and some small organic molecules. This fluid mixture of materials flowing through the xylem is called sap. In a tree, the wood constitutes the xylem with fluid transport occurring in the outermost tree ring. In a non-woody plant, the stem contains the xylem. Three factors that influence the flow of sap through a plant include diffusion, transpiration and capillary action. Water transport occurs in a plant's xylem tissue.
