Answer:

Some body parts, for example, such as muscles, red blood cells, nails, skin, and hair, wear out and/or they die, and therefore they are constantly replaced. To replace the worn out parts and dead parts, there is need for cell division.  Other body parts last longer. For example, the liver will last as long as a person lives, and in fact liver failure is one way a person will die. Liver cells are normally not replaced, and therefore there is normally no cell division in the liver. Cell division in these body parts would simply make them bigger and bigger and that may result in illness or even death. In fact, cancer cells are cells that should not be dividing but they continue to divide non-stop because something went wrong.

bonufazy [111]
Food starts to move through your GI tract when you eat. When you swallow, your tongue pushes the food into your throat. A small flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, folds over your windpipe to prevent choking and the food passes into your esophagus.

Esophagus. Once you begin swallowing, the process becomes automatic. Your brain signals the muscles of the esophagus and peristalsis begins.

Lower esophageal sphincter. When food reaches the end of your esophagus, a ringlike muscle—called the lower esophageal sphincter —relaxes and lets food pass into your stomach. This sphincter usually stays closed to keep what’s in your stomach from flowing back into your esophagus.

Stomach. After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and liquid with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine.

Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.

Large intestine. Waste products from the digestive process include undigested parts of food, fluid, and older cells from the lining of your GI tract. The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.

Rectum. The lower end of your large intestine, the rectum, stores stool until it pushes stool out of your anus during a bowel movement.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
I think the use of ibuprofen should be questioned with the concurrent  use of hydrocortisone, a 28 corticosteroid. The use of medication together increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Ibuprofen and sertraline azithromycin, or ipratropium will not cause adverse effects.
