DaveC426913 Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Uh, so like if you swallowed a stick of dynamite?
gaara Posted August 29, 2006 Author Posted August 29, 2006 like eating heaps of mentos an then drinkin diet coke... chemical reactions like that.. that can create alot of pressure and is natural/plausible/realistic... unlike the stupid dynamite remark.
Sisyphus Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Well seeing as how the stomach is not really a sealed container, it would be extremely difficult to build up any pressure at all. It doesn't have to be that strong.
blike Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I'm still not sure about what you're asking. The stomach has sphincters at both openings--cardiac sphincter (also called lower esophageal sphincter), and the pyloric sphincter which serve as "one way valves". These can allow some pressure to build up (which is why you burp).
