What are the organs that help in the digestion?
They are the large and small intestine
What are the three glands that help to complete the digestions?
the three glands that help to complete the digestion are large, intestine small intestine and kidney
Where does the majority of all digestion take place?
The majority of digestion takes place in the small intestine. This is where nutrients from food are broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream for use by the body. Enzymes and acids in the small intestine help further break down the food particles.
Organ that receives pancreatic juice and bile?
The duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
Is it true that digestion ends in the small intestine?
Yes, digestion primarily occurs in the small intestine where nutrients from food are absorbed. However, the process of digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and enzyme action, continues in the stomach, and is completed in the small intestine.
Which organs secrete fluids into the small intestine?
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine to aid in digestion, while the liver produces bile which is released into the small intestine to help with the digestion of fats.
What releases lipase?
The pancreas releases lipase, which helps digest fats in the small intestine
What comes after the stomach in the digestive system, and how does it contribute to the process of digestion?
After the stomach, food enters the small intestine in the digestive system. The small intestine plays a crucial role in digestion by absorbing nutrients from the food and further breaking down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats with the help of enzymes and bile.
What is the source of the bicarbonate found in the small intestine?
The bicarbonate found in the small intestine comes from the pancreas. The pancreas releases bicarbonate ions into the small intestine to help neutralize the acidic chyme that comes from the stomach. This bicarbonate helps create a more optimal pH environment for the enzymes in the small intestine to function properly in the digestion process.
Most chemical digestion occurs in which intestine?
Most chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine, specifically in the duodenum. Enzymes secreted by the pancreas and bile from the liver help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.
How does your liver help digest your food?
Digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine. The liver helps via metabolism of nutrients (but not by digestion).
How thousands of folds and sub-folds in the small intestine help in digestion?
It increases the surface area available for absorption of digestion nutrients.
