| | Human Stomach - The Basics |
 | | Gastric juice in the stomach keeps a pH level anywhere between 1 and 3. |
 | | The pH scale is a way of determining how acidic a substance is. The larger the pH level, the less acidic a substance is. Sometimes the highly acidic gastric juice eats away at the stomach wall or its layer of mucus, causing what is called an "ulcer". |
 | | Common diseases that occur in the stomach are a Curling ulcer, Cushing ulcer, Stomach cancer, Gastritis, Linitis plastica, Peptic ulcer, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Cardia, Gastric acid, Gastric distention, Monogastric, Nasogastric tube, Peptic ulcer, Stomach ache, Stomach cancer, and Borborygmi. |
