| gastroesophageal reflux |
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD, or GORD when -oesophageal, the BE form, is substituted) is injury to the esophagus that develops from chronic exposure of the esophagus to acid coming up from the stomach (reflux). In contrast, heartburn is the symptom of acid in the esophagus, characterized by a burning discomfort behind the breastbone (sternum). ...

| gastrolith |
Gastroliths (stomach stones or gizzard stones) are rocks which are or have been held inside the digestive tract of an animal. Among living vertebrates, gastroliths are common among herbivorous birds, crocodiles, and seals. Some extinct animals, such as bird-like theropod dinosaurs, appear to have used them to grind tough plant matter. Gastroliths do only rarely occur in sauropod dinosaurs and a trituration of their food with the stones is not plausible. ...

| GAS |
A gas is one of the phases of matter. Like liquids, gases are fluids: they have the ability to flow and do not resist deformation, although they do have viscosity. Unlike liquids, however, unconstrained gases do not occupy a fixed volume, but instead expand to fill whatever space they occupy. The kinetic energy in a gas is the second greatest of the states of matter (after plasma). ...
