Freshwater crocodile the same weight. This allows them to live for a half a year without eating. After the food goes down the throat, it is met in the gizzard by sand and rocks -these elements help break apart the bones, horns, hooves, hide, and flesh. This more broken-down material then enters the hydrochloric acid of the stomach. The hearts of other reptiles are designed to contain three sections including two atriums and ventricle. The right atrium, which collects the returned de-oxygenated blood and the left atrium which collects the oxygenated blood collected from pulmonary arteries of the lung, takes the blood
Gastric acid excess vomiting, patients develop hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis (decreased blood acidity by H and chlorine depletion). The proton pump enzyme is the target of proton pump inhibitors, used to increase gastric pH (and hence decrease stomach acidity) in diseases that feature excess acid. H antagonists indirectly decrease gastric acid production. Antacids neutralize existing acid. The role of gastric acid in digestion was established in the 1820s and 1830s by William Beaumont on Alexis St. Martin, who, as a result of an accident, had a fistula (hole) in his stomach, which allowed Beaumont to observe the process of digestion and to extract
