i would like to add that you are correct but also the large intestine does the same thing so yes its possible
True except for Vitamin B12 for which patients will need a 3 monthly injection. There is also a possible problem with not absorbing sufficient iron or calcium which can be helped by appropriate dietary supplements
Yes and no.
We hear about gastric bypass and stomach removal (gastrectomy) surgeries pretty regularly, which might lead us to believe that the stomach is a pretty useless organ aside from being a sack that holds food before it's fully digested in the intestine. However, it turns out that the stomach also has the important job of producing a protein called intrinsic factor, which is required for the absorption of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). Without intrinsic factor, the gut can't absorb cobalamin, and without cobalamin, lots of physiological processes go bad; two of the most notable problems involve red blood cell production and brain function.
The side of the story not often heard about is the additional supplementation that patients receive after having a gastric bypass or stomach removal surgery. As long as they receive adequate intrinsic factor, they are just fine.
Although you have to have a stomach to digest and hold your food, Yes, you can survive without a stomach. Gastrectomy or removal of the stomach is not uncommon. The intestine will take over the digestion of small meals and nutrient absorbsion post surgery and can be supplimented with tube feeding and IV fluids when required.
No, You can not live without a stomach because your food would have nowhere to go.
No
No, it would be harder for one to digest
Why yes of course
Yes
You will get hungry. You can survive up to 3 weeks without a meal and 3 days with out water.
You can survive without your stomach. There are three main digestive organs...the mouth, stomach and small intestines. Without the stomach, you may have to eat smaller amounts at each sitting or you may have to adjust what you put into the system, but your body can still do some basic digestion and the bulk of the absorption of the food.
no.
Without a stomach, manatees (and humans) would not be able to digest food and would soon starve to death!
stomach lining cells live for about 2 days
The stomach has a mucousal lining that helps protect it from HCl.
