Waste is stored in a septic tank or sewer system and eventually treated in a water treatment facility before being released back into the environment.
Foul-smelling stools can be caused by a variety of factors including dietary choices (such as spicy or high-sulfur foods), gastrointestinal infections, malabsorption disorders (like celiac disease), or conditions that affect digestion (like pancreatitis or liver disease). It is essential to consult a healthcare provider if the smell persists or is accompanied by other symptoms.
Erythematous macules are flat, red patches on the skin that may be caused by various factors such as inflammation, infection, or allergic reaction. They can be a sign of conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or contact dermatitis. Treatment typically involves identifying and addressing the underlying cause.
Energy is made from oxygen and glucose, when reacted together. Oxygen enters the body via the respiratory system and glucose enters through the digestive system. These two systems link as they both provide the formulae for energy. When glucose and oxygen are both in the body, the cardiovascular transports it via blood to the place in which it is needed in the body, for example the muscles. This is also links with the digestive and respiratory system as it provides the transportation of the energy.
No. Patient is sedated. Probably the most uncomfortable part is the night before when you have to drink the barium(?) that makes you spend the night on the toilet. You have to clean out your system the night before the test and it can be a long night on the throne. Put me to sleep and wake me when you're done please. It is a really good thing to have this test done as you get older.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter (brain chemical) responsible for feelings of well being and happiness. Serotonin is found in the central nervous system, where it regulates mood, appetite and sleep, and in the gut, where it regulates intestinal movements.
Symptoms of serotonin deficiency include depression, anxiety, irritability, perfectionism, low self esteem, repetitive thoughts and insomnia. Depression that's worse in Winter is due to serotonin deficiency.

The mucosa is the lining of the stomach, and the antrum is part of the stomach. Erythema is redness, and an ulceration is an area in which a layer of skin or lining is missing. So "muscosal inflammation in the antrum with erythema and ulcerations" is stomach ulcers.
Many doctors will purscribe SSRIs and SNRIs to treat serotonin deficiency but it is not a cure, just a bandaid and a poor one at that.
People with criticaly low serotonin levels are unable to benefit from the effects of SSRIs and SNRIs simply due to the brain's own inability to trigger the release of serotonin in any meaningful ammounts without outside stimulis (in my case due to heavy drug abuse in my youth).
Colonoscopy is an endoscopic medical procedure that uses a long, flexible, lighted tubular instrument called a colonoscope to view the rectum and the entire inner lining of the colon (large intestine).
No.
A barium enema is used to do a radiograph of the lower gastrointestinal tract, to examine the intestinal walls.
A colonoscopy involves using a camera to do a visual inspection of the entire lower intestine, looking for cancerous growths, tears, and precancerous polyps. Polyps may be routinely removed along with biopsy samples as the examination proceeds, which is one reason the colon must be as clean as possible.
I don't see why not...as long as you're not using it like a suppository.
There are folks who are known to be "aerophasic"... in other words, they unconciously swallow air... Even if you are not "aerophasic", it is nothing to worry about... Other than that answer, I cannot think of anything else that would cause that problem.
there is a lining of mucus around the entire stomach that prevents the gastric acid (gastric juice) from penetrating the stomach walls
mucus protects the epithelium for the acidity in the stomach.
nothing, its a normal component of gastric juice like HCl.
In the small intestine of digestive system the lipids are emulsified by the action of bile from liver.
Acid, Mucus and Hormones.
The hormones secreted by the stomach include proteases such as pepsinogen and prorennin.
The acid is HCL (Hydrochloric acid). It helps in killing the germs, prevents the decay of food and also activates the inactive hormones into pepsin and rennin which help in the digestion of proteins.
Mucus is secreted to protect the lining of stomach from corrosion due to the highly acidic HCL present in the stomach.
Actually, *every* person expels numerous small non-odorous pockets of air every single day, all day long. These are just not strong enough to be felt or make sounds, nor contain much methane. Some people may feel a small expulsion as if the anus has puffed, but there is no odor or sound.
