Question

When the peristaltic movements of the stomach and esophagus reverse did normal direction it causes
A) Constipation
B) Indigestion
C) Vomiting
D) Acidity

Answer 1

Hint: Peristaltic is a series of wave-like a muscular contraction that moves food to different organs in the digestive tract. The process of peristalsis begins in the esophagus. When the food is swallowed it enters into the esophagus and it carries the food to the stomach. There the food is chunked with the acidic gastric juice of the stomach and it is called chyme.

Complete answer:
Constipation: In this condition, the feces are retained within the rectum as the bowel movements occur irregularly. It is caused by eating foods low in fiber, not drinking enough water, stress, etc.
Indigestion: In this condition, the food is not properly digested leading to a feeling of fullness. Indigestion is caused by inadequate enzyme secretion, overeating, spicy food, food poisoning.
Vomiting: In this condition, the stomach ejects its contents through the mouth. This reflex action is controlled by the vomiting center in the medulla.
Acidity: When food enters our stomach the gastric glands create acid which is needed for digestion but when the acid is produced more than the needed amount for the digestion process then you will feel a burning sensation just below the breast bone. This condition is called acidity.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Note: Vomiting is a symptom of an underlying disease. It is a condition in which the stomach is forcibly empty; it is contained by overcoming the pressure that is needed to keep the food and secretion. There are various causes of vomiting. Some of them include food poisoning infections.
