the anus is chemical
What else can I help you with?
Is the rectum part of the chemical or mechanical digestion?
its part of both but it has different functions for both
Vertebrates often have mechanical and chemical ways of digesting food what is a main part of mechanical digestion?
Teeth
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 type of change that occurs in mechanical digestion?
By definition mechanical digestion is a physical part of digestion.
What is the first part of mechanical digestion called?
The first part of mechanical digestion is chewing, also known as mastication. This process involves breaking down food into smaller pieces in the mouth, which increases the surface area for enzymes to further break down the food during chemical digestion.
What does mechanical digestion stand for?
Mechanical digestion stands for the break down of food by chewing. Mechanical digestion is the physical part of the digestion process of the human body.
What body parts is not involved in mechanical digestion?
Chemical digestion takes place in the stomach, the intestines, (saliva or enzymes) these parts of your body also use mechanical digestion.
What part of digestion involves a physical change?
mechanical digestion
Is pharynx a mechanical or chemical digestion?
The pharynx is not directly involved in digestion. It is a part of the digestive and respiratory systems, serving as a passageway for food and air to travel through. The process of digestion involves mechanical and chemical actions that occur in organs like the mouth, stomach, and intestines.
What type of Mechanical digestion takes place in your mouth stomach and small intestines I?
Chemical and mechanical ingestion take place in the mouth. Chemical and mechanical digestion also take place in the stomach. Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine.Ingestion, digestion then absorption.In the mouth, both chemical digestion and mechanical digestion happen. The mechanical part is your teeth crushing the food into smaller pieces. The chemical part is when the salivary glands give off a special fluid that contains enzymes. When food enters the stomach, an enzyme is released that helps to digest food chemicaly. The muscles in the stomach also digest food mechanicly. Lastly, the small intestine completes the chemical and mechanical digestion of food. The small intestine takes out all the useful matirial and sends it to the cells as tiny molecules that the cells use in cellular resparation.Baisicly, they all use chemical and mechanical digestion.
What would happen to the mechanical and chemical digestion if you lost a large part of the stomach and what would happen to that person?
If a large part of the stomach is lost, it can affect both mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion may be impaired due to a decrease in stomach capacity, impacting the mixing and breakdown of food. Chemical digestion can also be affected, as there may be a reduction in the secretion of digestive enzymes and acids, leading to incomplete digestion of nutrients. This can result in malabsorption issues, potential nutrient deficiencies, and digestive discomfort for the individual. In severe cases, it may require medical intervention to manage symptoms and support digestion.
Is the anus chemical or physical digestion?
Whatever matter reaches the anus is at the end of the road as far as digestion is concerned and the anus is more concerned with excretion. The food is mechanically digested in the mouth by the teeth and tongue and chemically digested there by your saliva. It is then mechanically digested in the stomach where it's contents are mixed together with muscular contractions and chemically digested with hydrochloric acid and pepsin, etc. It is then moved to the small intestine where other things are added like pancreatic enzymes and bile, where some mechanical digestion takes place when peristalsis occurs that moves the matter through the alimentary canal, but mostly here it is chemically digested. The large intestine mainly removes excess water from the matter and helps to form solid matter for excretion. It is retained in the rectum until the sphincter muscles in the anus relax and allow for the passage of the stool. If anything though, it would be mechanical.
