| WHAT ALCOHOL DOES TO INTERNAL ORGANS |
a stomach-related action
Due to alcohol's
highly harmful effects on the stomach, it can no longer absorb food properly,
which could lead to incomplete digestion, or it can stop producing the natural
digestive fluid in sufficient amountsAn alcoholic is always going to feel
queasy, disoriented, and prone to prostration.
This causes a dislike of eating and is
accompanied by a desire for more alcohol. This leads to the development of a
chronic illness known as dyspepsia. It is this technique that causes the fatal
types of confirmed dyspepsia.
The effects on the liver
Drinking
alcohol continuously can lead to organic deteriorations that are frequently
fatal. The organ which most frequently undergoes structural changes from
alcohol, is the liver. The
liver's cellular components can typically store active chemicals.
In instances of poisoning by various poisonous
compounds, we analyse liver as if it were the central depot of the foreign
matter. With regard to alcohol, it is much the same An alcoholic's liver is too
frequently saturated with alcohol and is never truly free from its impact.
The liver's tinymembranous or capsular structure is impacted, which hinders appropriate
dialysis and unrestricted secretion. The liver becomes large due to the
dilatation of its vessels, the surcharge of fluid matter and the thickening of
tissueThis is followed by the membrane contracting and the entire organ's
cellular components shrinking. Then the lower parts of the alcoholic becomes
dropsical owing to the obstruction offered to the returning blood by the veins.
It
is possible for the liver's structure to become loaded with fatty cells and
experience what is known as "fatty liver."
The way in which the kidneys fail
The Kidneys also suffer due to the excessive consumption of alcohol. The kidneys' blood arteries
lose their flexibility and contraction force. Their microscopic structures
undergo lipid change. Albumin from the blood easily passes through their
membranes. This results in the body losing its power as if it were being run
out of blood gradually.
Lung congestion
Because the lungs'blood arteries are most exposed to temperature changes, alcohol readily relaxes
them They become easily clogged when exposed to the impacts of a sudden change
in air temperature. During severe winter seasons, the suddenly fatal
congestions of lungs easily affects an alcoholic.
Alcohol weakens theheart
Alcohol use has asignificant negative impact on the heart. The
thicker, more cartilaginous or calcareous membraneous tissues that surround and
border the heart undergo changes in quality. After that, the valves become less
flexible, and the condition known as valvular disease becomes irreversible.
. The structure of the the coats of the great blood-vessel leading from the heart share in the
same changes of structure so that the vessel loses its elasticity and its power
to feed the heart by the recoil from its distention, after the heart, by its
stroke, has filled it with blood.
Once more, the heart's muscular framework collapses as a result of tissue deterioration. The
elements of the muscular fibre are replaced by fatty cells or, if not so
replaced, are themselves transferred into a modified muscular texture in which
the power of contraction is greatly reduced.
The fact that they are suffering from these organic deteriorations of the main
organ controlling blood circulation becomes apparent to them so gradually that
it doesn't even dawn on them until the mischief is far advanced. They recognize
a central breakdown in their power resulting from minor factors like fatigue,
conflict, interrupted sleep, or prolonged fasting. They feel what they call a
'sinking' but they know that wine or some other stimulant will at once relieve
the sensation.
So they try to alleviate it till they finally find that the solution doesn't work. The weary,
exhausted, and devoted heart can take no more. it has run its course and the
governor of the blood-streams brokenEither the stream overflows into the
tissues, gradually damming up the courses, or it completely stops at the center
due to a minor shock or excess motion.
