small intestine is the site of most chemical digestion and almost all absorption.

Protein digestion occurs in the stomach

Bladder Cancer

acidic stomach contents go back up into the esophagus

the appendix becomes inflamed and filled with pus

Damage to the lower portion of the tube that connects the mouth and stomach (esophagus)

Loss of bladder control, varying from a slight loss of urine after sneezing, coughing, or laughing to complete inability to control urination.
