For some medicines, having food or liquids in your stomach can result in poorer absorption of the drug or an upset stomach. It generally takes 4 to 5 hours for the stomach to empty after a full meal and a bit less after a snack or liquid, though it varies depending on how much and what kind of food you ate. If you can, itâs easiest to take empty stomach medications in the morning, after youâve fasted overnight. After taking the drug, wait at least 30 minute before ingesting anything other than plain water, to give the body time to absorb the medication.
The abdominopelvic cavity houses the majority of the digestive organs. Serous membranes, the same ones which line the abdominal cavity, cover the digestive organs and provide basic structural support.Simple squamous epithelium intermittently straddled with connective tissue creates the serous membranes.erous membranes, the same ones which line the abdominal cavity, cover the digestive organs and provide basic structural support. Simple squamous epithelium intermittently straddled with connective tissue creates the serous membranes.
It is subdivided into a superior abdominal cavity and an inferior pelvic cavity (Figure 1-11a,c). The abdominopelvic cavity contains the peritoneal cavity, a chamber lined by a serous membrane known as the peritoneum. The parietal peritoneum lines the inner surface of the body wall.a) The dorsal body cavity is bounded by the bones of the skull and vertebral column. The muscular diaphragm divides the ventral body cavity into a superior thoracic (chest) cavity and an inferior abdominopelvic cavity. The pericardial cavity is inside the chest cavity.
