What other parts are involved in the digestive process?
Other than...what? Saliva, bile, stomach acids, the duodenum, appendix, large intestines, and all kinds of other things are involved in digestion.
How does a lion's digestive system work?
A lion has a simple digestive system with organs around 7 meters long. It has quick and easy digestion because it's stomach juices are strong.
What are the digestive compartments of a cell called?
Lysosomes form the digestive compartments of a cell. They are involved in cellular digestion. Lysosomes are membrane bound cell organelles that have hydrolytic enzymes that can break down biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids and other cellular waste materials.
What part of the digestive system do the mechanical digestion?
Mechanical digestion is the breakdown of food through chewing, mixing, or churning. Mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth and stomach. The food is physically torn apart through the teeth, tongue, stomach contractions, etc. This is counterpart to chemical digestion, where acids and other enzymes chemically pull apart the food.
The process of breaking down food into usable materials?
Digestion is the process of breaking down food into usable materials, and is one function of the digestive system. The other function, absorption, makes these materials available to all cells in the body.
Is hydrolysis the same as digestion?
Hydrolysis is one chemical process that accomplishes chemical digestion. There are other chemical and mechanical digestive processes.
What other organs outside the digestive system tube contribute to digestion?
Salavery glands
Digestive juices in the digestive tract include?
Mechanical digestion is the same thing as chewing, or mastication. It does not need any digestive juices, because that is considered chemical digestion. Chemical digestion in the mouth during chewing is mainly by the aid of saliva which has, among other enzymes, salivary amylase which initiates carbohydrate digestion.
Polar bears digestive system?
The polar bear's digestive system is much like the digestive system of other mammals. Food is taken into the mouth and swallowed. Digestion begins in the stomach and is continued through the small and large intestines. Any waste is excreted when digestion is complete.
What other organs outside the digestive tube contributes to digestion?
The pancreas, liver and the appendix however is not beneficial to the digestive system directly.
What does your body do with the end products of protein digestion?
After your digestive system breaks down protein through digestion, the amino acids are used to build other proteins. For example muscle.
What is extracellular digestion?
Extracellular digestion is a process in which saprobionts feed by secreting enzymes through the cell membrane onto the food. The enzymes catalyse the digestion of the food into molecules small enough to be taken up by passive diffusion, transport or phagocytosis. These nutrients are transferred into the blood or other body fluids. Since digestion occurs outside the cell, it is said to be extracellular. It takes place either in the lumen of the digestive system, in a gastric cavity or other digestive organ, or completely outside the body.Extracellular digestion is a form of digestion found in all saprobiontic annelids, crustaceans, arthropods, lichens and chordates, including vertebrates.

What happens to food as it passes through the digestive system?
it comes out the other end

What other organ are in the digestive system?
Including the organs of the digestive track (stomach, small intestine, large intestine) there are also addition of accessory organs. These includes the pancreas, liver, and the gall bladder. These organs are part of digestion, but are not directly part of the digestive tract.
How does digestion takes place in the omassum of cattle?
The omasum does not have a lot of digestive functions, other than the folds of the stomach produce a grinding affect on the food.
