a voluntary process and is carried out by a mass peristaltic movement. 16.4 Disorders or Digestrve Srstem The infiammation of the intestinal tract is the most common ailment due to bacterial or viral infections. The infections are also caused by the parasites of the intestine like tapeworm, roundworm, threadworm, hookworm, pin worm, etc. Jaundice: The liver is affected, skin and eyes turn yellow due to the deposit of bile pigments. Vomiting: It is the ejection of stomach contents through the mouth. This reflex action is controlled by the vomit centree in the medulla. A feeling of nausea precedes vomiting. Diarrhoea: The abnormal frequency of bowel movement and increased liquidity of the faecal discharge is known as diarrhoea. It reduces the absorption of food. Constipation: In constipation, the faeces are retained within the colon as the bowel movements occur irregularly. Indigestion: In this condition, the food is not properly digested leading to a feeling of fullness. The causes of indigestion are inadequate enzyme secretion, anxiety, food poisoning, over eating, and spicy food.
