To prevent acid from seeping in the stomach, the stomach cells join one another via

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.

Why do we compare arteries like tree which divides into smaller branches

CaHeK987 [17]

Arteries carry blood to different parts of our body. They divide into branches called capillaries to supply blood to even small organs. So, we compare arteries with tree that divides into smaller and smaller branches. Capillaries again merge and form veins to collect impure blood

Assuming the human genome is 3×109 bp and that the average insert size in the genomic libraries is 100 kb, how frequently will a

SashulF [63]

<span>A clone representing myostatin would be found in the genomic library made from muscle approximately one time out of every sixty thousand. Under the given conditions, the human genome and average insert size, the frequency of that particular type of clone can be estimated to be very near the probability of 1/60,000. This can be expressed either in fraction form or in descriptive words and maintain the same level of meaning.</span>
