What would most likely happen if the parietal cells in your stomach stopped functioning?

Biology

salantis [7]2 years ago

If the parietal cells in your stomach stop functioning The pH of the abdomen will rise.

Parietal cells, called oxyntic cells, are stomach epithelial cells that release intrinsic factors and hydrochloric acid (HCl). These cells are present in the stomach's gastric glands, which are situated in the fundus and body regions. Gastric acid secretion, which helps with food digestion, mineral absorption, and bacterial control, is controlled by parietal cells.

In the center of the glands in the fundus-body region of the stomach are the parietal cells. They release the intrinsic factor, a protein that binds vitamin B12, and gastric acid, or hydrochloric acid (about 0.16 M, pH 0.8). The parietal cells that are destroyed are unable to create enough stomach acid. As a result, the pH of the stomach rises, food digestion is hampered, and the risk of gastroenteritis increases.

What are some possible future changes in the global climate?
Ugo [173]

The most probable future changes in the global climate are:

- Global warming;

If the levels of CO2 and methane increase enough in the atmosphere to be able to intensify the Greenhouse effect, than some portion of the ice on the planet will melt because of the rising temperatures, thus lifting up the sea level, creating more unpredictable weather with larger and stronger storms, but also making the mainland much drier. This would be a scenario if the continents are arranged like they are now, but if there isn't a sufficient mass of land on and around the poles, than all of the ice will melt and the sea levels will rise so much that the planet will come in the ''water planet'' scenario, and it will have wet tropical climate pretty much everywhere on the planet.

- Ice Age;

If there's a disruption in the warm ocean streams and some of them disappear, or the levels of nitrogen or oxygen increase in the atmosphere, the Earth will start to cool off, thus coming to a situation of an Ice Age. In this kind of situation, there will be large ice sheets on and around the poles that are stretching much further towards the lower latitudes, as well as mountains all over the world that are covered in snow and shaped by glaciers.

Why do people choose to pollute the environment instead of being environmentally friendly
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The main reason many people choose to avoid green action is that they think it will cost them more than their typical, environmentally harmful activities. Many times, it is true that environmental friendly products come with high up-front costs, but these costs almost always are made back over the lifetime of products. Many environmentally friendly products are far more efficient and cost-effective over their life-time than other, less clean options. For the most part, people are simply unaware of the economic benefits of going green. This lack of knowledge make consumers unwilling to make decisions that they perceive will cost them more money. No matter how dedicated to the environment a person is, if they believe it will lose them money, it is unlikely that they will ever do anything about it. While total spending on green products may be increasing in the United States, the market share remains dangerously low – typically making up only 3-5% of any given market.
