Anemia

Anemia or anaemia (British English) is a blood disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen.

See Gastric erosion and Anemia

Arthritis

Arthritis is a term often used to mean any disorder that affects joints.

See Gastric erosion and Arthritis

Aspirin

Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, fever, and/or inflammation, and as an antithrombotic.

See Gastric erosion and Aspirin

Basement membrane

The basement membrane, also known as base membrane, is a thin, pliable sheet-like type of extracellular matrix that provides cell and tissue support and acts as a platform for complex signalling.

See Gastric erosion and Basement membrane

Blood

Blood is a body fluid in the circulatory system of humans and other vertebrates that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

See Gastric erosion and Blood

Burn

A burn is an injury to skin, or other tissues, caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, friction, or ultraviolet radiation (such as sunburn).

See Gastric erosion and Burn

Defecation

Defecation (or defaecation) follows digestion, and is a necessary process by which organisms eliminate a solid, semisolid, or liquid waste material known as feces from the digestive tract via the anus or cloaca.

See Gastric erosion and Defecation

Epithelium

Epithelium or epithelial tissue is a thin, continuous, protective layer of compactly packed cells with little extracellular matrix.

See Gastric erosion and Epithelium

Gastritis

Gastritis is the inflammation of the lining of the stomach. Gastric erosion and Gastritis are stomach disorders.

See Gastric erosion and Gastritis

Gastrointestinal wall

The gastrointestinal wall of the gastrointestinal tract is made up of four layers of specialised tissue.

See Gastric erosion and Gastrointestinal wall

Lamina propria

The lamina propria is a thin layer of connective tissue that forms part of the moist linings known as mucous membranes or mucosae, which line various tubes in the body, such as the respiratory tract, the gastrointestinal tract, and the urogenital tract.

See Gastric erosion and Lamina propria

Mucous membrane

A mucous membrane or mucosa is a membrane that lines various cavities in the body of an organism and covers the surface of internal organs.

See Gastric erosion and Mucous membrane

Steroid

A steroid is an organic compound with four fused rings (designated A, B, C, and D) arranged in a specific molecular configuration.

See Gastric erosion and Steroid

Stomach

The stomach is a muscular, hollow organ in the upper gastrointestinal tract of humans and many other animals, including several invertebrates.

See Gastric erosion and Stomach

Stress (biology)

Stress, whether physiological, biological or psychological, is an organism's response to a stressor such as an environmental condition.

See Gastric erosion and Stress (biology)

Vomiting

Vomiting (also known as emesis and throwing up) is the involuntary, forceful expulsion of the contents of one's stomach through the mouth and sometimes the nose.

See Gastric erosion and Vomiting
