The movements of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), also known as gastrointestinal motility, are complex and coordinated processes that facilitate the movement of food and digestive secretions along the length of the digestive system. These movements are essential for the digestion, absorption, and elimination of nutrients and waste products. Gastrointestinal motility …
Effect of electrolytes, coacervation, peptization & protective action on Colloidal dispersion
Effect of Electrolytes: 1. Coagulation or Precipitation: Addition of electrolytes to colloidal dispersions can lead to coagulation or precipitation of the colloidal particles. This occurs due to the neutralization of surface charges on the colloidal particles by oppositely charged ions from the electrolyte, reducing the electrostatic repulsion between particles. As …
