Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 Peptic is an adjective that refers to any part of the body that normally has an acidic lumen anatomy lumen . Peptic is medical and veterinary terminology, most often used in the context of human s. Peptic anatomy The peptic areas of the human body under normal circumstances are the stomach and duodenum . A person with gastroesophageal reflux disease may have an acidic esophagus , particularly at the inferior lower end. Also, a person with a Meckel s diverticulum may have cells that produce acid within the diverticulum and therefore may be prone to peptic ulcers and perforation. A person with an unusual anatomy, such as one who has had a gastrectomy or an esophagectomy with transplantation of the ileum to replace the esophagus, may experience acidity in parts of the body that would not normally be acidic. In all normal humans and in almost all humans, only the gastrointestinal tract is peptic. Peptic diseases A common problem with the peptic areas of the body is peptic ulcer . These ulcers are most commonly caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria , and not by the acidic environment. Could someone perhaps define Peptic salve , which seems to link here? It was probably only created as an article because of the Valve game Portal. Peptic salve is a medication designed to control bleeding in the stomach but its definition is not relevant here.

Other uses Penetration disambiguation Unreferenced date September 2007 Technical date March 2011 Strictly speaking penetration occurs when a projectile enters a target without passing through it and perforation occurs when the projectile completely passes through the target, but the word penetration is commonly used to refer to either. Penetration into a semi infinite or massive target is penetration in the strict sense of the word of targets so thick that the level of penetration is not affected by the target s thickness. There is a transition region between semi infinite penetration and perforation, in which the target is not perforated but the projectile, as it nears the back face of the target, meets reduced resistance and is capable of penetrating a greater distance than it would in a semi infinite target. This effect is variously named the back or rear surface, plate, or face effect and is also present when perforation occurs. A penetrating projectile may cause the target to break into multiple pieces, spewing from both the front and back of the target, themselves at high velocity. These pieces are collectively referred to as spall . Spall can even be generated if a perforation isn t achieved the projectile fails to pass through the target , generated instead by the shock wave generated by the impact of the projectile. Bomb s designed for great penetration into the earth or for perforation of hardened targets are known as bunker buster s. Category Ballistics weapons stub ja ... more details
