In a tissue type that undergoes a relatively great deal of mechanical stress like the tissue that lines the intestine you would expect to see an abundance of between the individual cells of the tissue?

What allows chyme to enter the small intestine?
mechanical digestion is essentially complete, but the other processes are ongoing or have not yet begun
Does the large intestine use chemical or mechanical digestion?
The large intestine does not perform any digestion whatsoever. It is part of the gastrointestinal tract, but it only performs mainly absorption, as in water, some minerals, and some vitamins.
What are the organs of the digestion in order that the food passes through?
The mechanical process of digestion is first, followed closely by chemical digestion. After that it is mostly chemical digestion, then absorption, and lastly elimination, or defecation.
What are two main divisions of the digestive system?
The alimentary canal which consists of the mouth, phraynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, and the accessory canal, which consists of teeth, the tongue, salivary glands, the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas.
What is the absorptive surface area of the small intestine?
The absorptive surface area of the small intestine is actually about 250 square meters (almost 2,700 square feet) – the size of a tennis court! How is this possible? The small intestine has three features which allow it to have such a huge absorptive surface area packed into a relatively small space:1. Mucosal folds: The inner surface of the small intestine is not flat, but thrown into circular folds. This not only increases the surface area, but helps regulate the flow of digested food through your intestine.2. Villi: The folds form numerous tiny projections which stick out into the open space inside your small intestine (or lumen), and are covered with cells that help absorb nutrients from the food that passes through.3. Microvilli: The cells on the villi are packed full of tiny hair like structures called microvilli. This helps increase the surface of each individual cell, meaning that each cell can absorb more nutrients.
Is a large intestine a mechanical digestion?
Chewing is mechanical digestion.
Is the large intestine chemical or mechanical?
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical digestion.
Is the large intestine mechanical digestion or chemical?

Is a small intestine a mechanical or chemical digestion?
chemical
Is the small intestines chemical or mechanical?
The small intestine completes the process of chemical digestion.
Substance responsible for mechanical digestion in the small intestine?
Bile
Which organ in the digestive system is not involved in chemical or mechanical digestion?
small intestine
Is the large Intestine a mechanical or a chemical digestion?
As far as I know there is no digestion at all in the large intestine, only absorption.
Is the large intestine mechanical?
no it's biological, like washing powder
Does the small intestine have mechanical or chemical digestion?
Yes, in part. Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth (saliva), stomach (gastric acid) and small intestine. The nutrients are mostly absorbed in the walls (lining) of the small intestine.
What areas of the body does mechanical digestion occur?
mouth,stomach and small intestine
Is mechanical physical or chemical?
Mechanical digestion is considered a physical process and includes actions such as mastication (chewing) and peristalsis (squeezing) of the intestine.
