SUMMARY

FACTORS INDUCING GASTRIC DISTURBANCES

1. ~Errors in Diet.~--Over-feeding, under-feeding, improper food,
unbalanced diet.

2. ~Disturbed Secretory Processes.~--

(a) Over- or under-secretion of gastric juice.

(b) An excess or deficiency of hydrochloric acid in the juices.

3. ~Impaired Motility and Tone of the Gastric Organ.~--The peristaltic
waves and muscular contraction of the stomach walls becoming sluggish
prevent the food mass from passing into the intestines
