What else can I help you with?
How do the liver and the pancreas help complete chemical digestion?
mmmmmmm
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 the liver help with liver fat digestion?
Yes, it metabolizes lipids.
The acid that aids digestion in the stomach is?
Enzymes, they are responsible in chemical digestion.
Does the liver separate blood and help in digestion?
the liver is a vital organ and has a wide range of functions one of them is to help digestion. it is necessary for our living and yes it does seperate the blood and definetly helps in digestion
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).
Where is bile secreted and what does it contain?
Bile is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It contains bile salts, cholesterol, bilirubin, and other compounds that help in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine, as well as the elimination of waste products from the body.
What substance is stored and concentrated by the gallbladder for later use?
The gallbladder doesn't actually produce a substance, but it stores bile which helps with digestion and is produced in the liver.
Does the pancreas produce the lipase?
Yes, the pancreas produces lipase. Lipase is an enzyme that helps break down fats in the digestive system. It is secreted by the pancreas and helps in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
What role does your liver play in digestion?
The position of the liver will directly affect the digestion process. The liver will usually secrete bile, which will help in the breakdown of fats.
What is is the relationship between chemical digestion and gastric fluid?
Chemical digestion is the process of breaking down large molecules into smaller ones for absorption. Gastric fluid, secreted by the cells in the stomach lining, contains enzymes such as pepsin that help break down proteins into amino acids. This fluid also contains hydrochloric acid, which aids in the digestion of food and kills harmful bacteria. Therefore, gastric fluid plays a crucial role in the chemical digestion of food in the stomach.
Is Liver mechanical or chemical?
No. Anything involving a chemical is not mechanical. It is chemical. It this case a liver "chemical" like enzymes would be involved in the process of digestion. The mechanical process is what you would see when you chew your food, for example. You are not actually changing the food but making the larger parts smaller.
