Answer:

Gastric epithelium.

Explanation:

Peptic ulcers are defined as sores in inner lining of stomach due to break in gastric epithelium. Bacterial infections are major causative agents for peptic ulcers.

Our stomach is protected from gastric acid by the cells of epithelial lining (mucosa) that produces bicarbonate ions, which can neutralize gastric acid.

Some bacteria increase production of acid, which damage tissues of epithelial lining. It leads to inflammation of stomach lining and cause peptic ulcers.

Thus, the correct answer is 'gastric epithelium.'

Does any landform on Earth’s surface look the same as it did 5 million years ago? explain why or why not.
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Earth's surface didn't look much different. With few exceptions.

The global climate is cooler and drier, and seasonal, similar to modern climates. As the climate began to cool down grasslands continued to expand and forests started to dwindle in extent. In the seas, kelp forests made their first appearance and soon became one of Earth's most productive ecosystems. Water from the Atlantic Ocean poured in through the Strait of Gibraltar to deluge the Mediterranean Basin. The event is called the Zanclean flood. Parts of of southern Norway and southern Sweden that had been near sea level rose to form the Hardangervidda plateau and the South Swedish highlands.

Shorty after, the glaciations, uplift of the Rocky mountains and Panama seaway closure began to reshape the Earth.
