How does stomach acid prevent infections

Health
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]4 years ago
5 0
The secretion of hydrochloric acid by the stomach plays an important role in protecting the body against pathogens ingested with food or water. A gastric fluid pH of 1 to 2 is deleterious to many microbial pathogens; however, the neutralization of gastric acid by antacids or the inhibition of acid secretion by various drugs may increase the risk of food- or waterborne illnesses. Peptic ulcer disease is often treated by decreasing or eliminating gastric acid secretion, and such treatment blocks the protective antibacterial action of gastric fluid.


Hope this helped!!:)

Alchen [17]

Answer:

physical dependence

Explanation:

I'm not 100% sure if this is the answer but it makes sense. The body is dependent on the drug to make it feel 'normal' So it would be physical dependence because obviously, the body is dependent on that drug. That's basically what withdrawals are.

Lilit [14]

The things i would say is to probably get some help, not in a bad way, like not trying to be rude. But sometimes i would practice taking the critism and just letting it go. dont really think about it! also think positive about the things people say, if u cant LET IT GOOO!! i WOULD PROABABLY not say anything about the way they live, like the house they live in, or the way they work, the clothes they wear. Also i did not really understand the question, but i hope i at-least made u think!! :)
