When a person is experiencing heartburn, he or she feels a burning sensation in the throat and midchest. Think about thestructur

es of the digestive system. What most likely causes the burning sensation?The muscle at the end of the esophagus is not able to close, which allows stomach acid and digested food to go back upO into the esophagus.The villi in the small intestine are producing extra acid that is then concentrated at the pharynx.O The esophagus goes into muscle spasms while the salivary glands produce excess acidO Too much water absorption in the large intestine disrupts the pH of the digestive system, causing acid to reenter thestomach.

The correct option is this: THE MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE ESOPHAGUS IS NOT ABLE TO CLOSE, WHICH ALLOW STOMACH ACID AND DIGESTED FOOD TO GO BACK UP INTO THE ESOPHAGUS.

Heartburn is also called acid reflux and it occurs, when the sphincter muscle at the tail end of the esophagus relaxes when it ought not to, thus allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. Heartburn may be caused by some types of food, alcohol or drugs.

100 POINTS!!! ANSWER ASAP [5 SENTENCE ANSWER] Explain the relationship among distance, mass and gravitational force between any
Karolina [17]
Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases. If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled. If the mass of one of the objects is tripled, then the force of gravity between them is tripled. If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on.

Hope this helps.
