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.
Synovial Membranes. Synovial membranes are connective tissue membranes that line the cavities of the freely movable joints such as the shoulder, elbow, and knee. Like serous membranes, they line cavities that do not open to the outside.Unlike serous membranes, they do not have a layer of epithelium.ucous Membranes. Mucous membranes are epithelial membranes that consist of epithelial tissue that is attached to an underlying loose connective tissue. These membranes, sometimes called mucosae, line the body cavities that open to the outside.
