The stomach and the cells that comprise it have a three-part protection system to protect from the acid contained in the stomach, comprised mostly of compact cell unions.

The stomach is one of the main digestive tract organs. Its job is to break down the food we ingest and pass it along to the rest of the digestive tract. To perform this action, the stomach secrets hydrochloric acid. However, the stomach itself is not damaged by this acid due to a three-part protective system comprised of:

Tight epithelial cell lining
Mucose Barrier
Bicarbonate secretion

The cells present in the epithelial lining of the stomach join one another via compact cell unions to form a closed barrier which is then covered by a thick Mucose barrier. This along with the secretion of bicarbonate which works to break up the acids present in the stomach and ingested, form a sealed barrier that protects the stomach from harm.

The body monitors fat stores by assessing levels of the hormone ____, which is produced and secreted by fat cells.

Ivan

Leptin. Leptin is produced by fat cells and released when your body has enough fat in storage. When leptin reaches the brain, it gives your body a feeling of fullness so that you will not want to continue eating. Individuals with leptin resistance, where the leptin hormone signals are not received as they should be, are often overweight because they do not have the same brain signals telling them that their body is full.

What change is observed in leukocytes during an allergic disorder (type I hypersensitivity) often caused by asthma, hay fever, a

blagie [28]

Answer:

Increase in eosinophils.

Explanation:

The leukocytes are the white blood cell that plays an important role in the immune system. The white blood cell include eosinophil, basophil, neutrophil and monocytes.

The allergic reactions that are caused by hay fever or asthma is marked by the excess increase in the number of eosinophils in the body. The eosinophils are the first to reach at the site of parasitic infections and protect the body during the allergic reactions.

Thus, the answer is eosinophils.
