What will happen if Mucus is not Secreted by the Gastric Glands

June 2, 2022June 16, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 5 Comments.

Insufficient secretion of mucus by the gastric glands disrupts the balance in the stomach. Without mucus, the stomach lining becomes vulnerable to acid and enzyme damage, leading to erosion, painful ulcers and increased acidity. Digestive complications such as chronic acid reflux, gastritis and risk of infection can occur. Mucus secretion plays a crucial role in protecting the stomach and maintaining digestive health.

Why do Herbivores have Longer Small Intestine than Carnivores

June 1, 2022July 1, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 6 Comments.

Herbivores and omnivores have longer digestive tracts than carnivores. Herbivores consume fibre-rich plants with cellulose, requiring extended digestion time. A longer small intestine allows herbivores to fully break down cellulose, aided by bacteria. Carnivores lack cellulase enzymes, resulting in a shorter small intestine. The difference in tract length arises from dietary needs and cellulose digestion capabilities.
