That's why we developed this guide to bonding in the construction industry. The terms contract bond and construction bond are essentially two different names for the same thing. A contract bond is a type of surety bond that guarantees contracts are fulfilled.
What happens when you get your stomach pumped. Answers. A lubricated stomach tube is gently inserted through the mouth, into the esophagus, and down to the stomach. It's like a vacuum. When you get your stomach pumped they use an apparatus for removing the contents of the stomach by means of suction.
A special type of muscle called a sphincter (say: SFINK-ter) connects the esophagus and the stomach. The sphincter works like a gate. It opens up so food can get into the stomach, and then it closes again. This keeps the food and acidic stomach juices from flowing back into the esophagus. However, if the sphincter opens at the wrong time, there's a problem. Whatever's in the stomach goes the wrong way, which is back up into the esophagus. This is called reflux. Putting it all together, then, gastroesophageal refers to the stomach (gastro means stomach) and esophagus. Reflux means to flow back or return. So gastroesophageal reflux is when the stomach's contents flow back up into the esophagus. Just about everyone has gastroesophageal reflux (GER) once in a while. Many people don't even feel it happening. Other people might feel something commonly known as heartburn. Heartburn describes an uncomfortable burning feeling behind the breastbone. Heartburn has nothing to do with the heart, but everything to do with your stomach and esophagus.
