The three tenets to the cell theory are as described below: All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. (However, this is considered a controversy because non-cellular life such as viruses are disputed as a life form. See Non-cellular life.)
Hydrochloric acid is the primary digestive acid and has several roles in digestion. The acid prevents harmful bacteria from entering your system by sterilizing it. Another function of hydrochloric acid is to trigger the release of pepsin. You need hydrochloric acid to absorb minerals like magnesium, sodium and iron. Gastric acid is so strong that it could digest the stomach if not for a mucus lining protecting the organ.
While acid reflux refers to a condition where stomach acid comes up from the stomach into the esophagus, another, less-common condition can occur known as alkaline reflux or bile reflux. This occurs when bile produced in the liver flows from the small intestine into the stomach and esophagus.his is because alkaline reflux affects the stomach lining as well as the esophagus. Acid reflux affects typically only the esophagus because the acid is naturally present in the stomach lining. You also may experience unintended weight loss as a side effect because the pain may reduce your appetite.
