Answer:

The oesophagus is the pipe that connects the pharynx to the Stomach.

The muscle found at the lower region of the esophagus is not able to close. This then allows the stomach acid and digested food to move back up into the esophagus.

This anomaly thereby results in discomfort. In most cases there are no serious health challenges relating to it.

What is biochemistry??
77julia77 [94]
Biochemistry is the study of the actions of the main metabolic processes of living organisms, which are protein synthesis (DNA and RNA molecules, genetic codes and how they work, enzyme formation and function, etc), glycolysis (cellular respiration, aka the Krebs cycle/citric acid cycle to break down glucose molecules to release chemical energy and oxydative phosphorylation, the use of that chemical energy to form ATP molecules in which the chemical energy is put in a form the cell can use, and lipid chemistry (the study of the pathways in which fatty acids are formed into lipids and fat molecules and cholestrol formation and function).
Essentially, biochemistry covers the chemical reactions necessary for cellular and organism metabolism

Find the sensory hair ( vibrissae) around the mouth, cheeks. what do you think these are used for?
lawyer [7]

Vibrissae, more commonly known as whiskers, are sensory hair that generally have a tactile sense, which is equivalent to skin. They grow on most mammals except monotremes (duck-billed platypus and echidnas) and humans, though humans still have remnants of the muscles once associated with vibrissae in their upper lips. Vibrissae serve a number of purposes: such as sense of touch; detection of danger, air and water currents, and movements of other animals; and the locating of food.
