Function of stomach small intestine large intestine?
they break down food and absorb the nutrients so our body can use it.
How does human absorb nutrients?
A human absorbs nutrients primarily in the small intestine. The pancreas and gallbladder release enzymes into the small intestine to break down the digested food into its molecular forms, and it's absorbed through the small intestine wall into the bloodstream.
What is the significant role of the stomach?
to break down food and make the small and large intestine able to digest the nutrients
Where are nutrients absorbed in the frog?
Nutrients in frogs are primarily absorbed in the small intestine. After food is digested in the stomach, it moves into the small intestine, where enzymes continue to break it down, allowing for the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream. Some absorption also occurs in the large intestine, but its primary role is water reabsorption and waste formation.
How is the function of the small intestine different from the function of the large intestine?
The stomach and small intestine both help with digestion. However, the stomach breaks down the food with acids and is mostly a large cavity, while the small intestine absorbs the nutrients and is a long winding path.
What organ allows cells to obtain the nutrients they from food that is broken down?
The organ that allows cells to obtain nutrients from broken down food is the small intestine. After food is digested in the stomach, it moves to the small intestine, where enzymes and bile help break it down further. The walls of the small intestine are lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi, which absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, allowing cells throughout the body to access them.
How many inches of your intestines actually absorb nutrients?
Food is generally absorbed in the small intestine, which is 20 to 23 feet in an average adult male (that's 240 to 276 inches!) The large intestine is generally responsible for absorbing water, sodium and other nutrients that have not been absorbed in the small intestine. The large intestine also houses several different kinds of bacteria that break down things your body is not able to break down.
Where does most digestion occur and how?
most digestion occurs in the small intestine where all the nutrients and minerals are extracted and put ino the bloodstream. the stomach just breaks the food down so it can get into the intestine
Does the small intestine contain strong hydrochloric acid?
No, the small intestine does not contain hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is produced by the stomach to help break down food. The small intestine primarily contains enzymes and bile to further digest food and absorb nutrients.
What are enzymes able to do?
Enzymes are acids in our stomach than break down food particles. You see, When we chew food, it is not broken down completely, so enzymes break them down in the stomach, and there are stronger enzymes in the small intestine, where, all the nutrients from the food are taken by tiny holes in the small intestine called "villi". When all the nutrients are taken out from the food, it becomes waste (poop). ;)
The place where nutrients enters the blood?
Nutrients enter the blood primarily through the small intestine. After food is broken down in the stomach, nutrients are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine and into the bloodstream. From there, the blood carries these nutrients to different parts of the body where they are used for energy and growth.
What happens in the stomach and small intestine?
The mouth breaks the food into small fragments which lead tot the stomach which digests its, then passes the food down to the small intestine which turns it into leftovers, or commonly known as poop. (awks)
