What do the stomach small intestines large intestines do?
your stomach and small intestines break food down and anything that gets to your large intestines exits your body through the anus
How the intestines break down food?
There are certain glands and enzymes in the stomach and the intestines that help to break down the food.
What system has organs that break down food so the food can be used by the body?
digestive system. this includes the stomach and small and large intestines
Does jelly get broken down in the small intestine?
Food breaks down in the stomach, not the intestines.
Where in the alimentary canal does absorption of food take place?
I think maybe the stomach absorbs food molecules to break it down so its easier to pass through your intestines. ( i think this is right I'm not quite shore though .)
Where After food is ingested where does it go?
goes down your esophagus and into your gut or stomach where it is broken down by enzymes and stomach acids, then proceeds to your small intestines and then to your large intestines and then is pushed out of your anal cavity
Is the stomach part of the digestive system that is 7 meters long and helps to extract nutrients from food or the small intestine?
small intestines. ANSWER Your stomach is part of your digestive system. The main function of it is to store food, break it down and begin some absorption. It is not part of the small intestines which is 7 meters long and absorbs nutrients.
The liver secretes a basic solution called bile into the small intestines discuss the function of bile in digestion?
It acts as a detergent for fats. It contains lipases to break down fats and also neutralizes HCl from stomach as to avoid burning small small intestines. I hope this helps!
How is the stomach different from small intestines?
the stomach stores and breaks down the food that hasn't been completely broken down and the small intestine conducts the food to the butt hole.
What is the stomachs job?
The job of the Stomach is to break down the food and store it. Your biles help break it down so that it can past through your intestines.
Is digested food absorbed through the wall of the gut to the stomach?
Some absorption also happens there however, most of the absorption of nutrients happens in the small intestines with the help of the many enzymes to break down the food that is digested by the stomach.
What happens in all the organs to all the nutrients from a cheese sandwich?
The mouth (teeth and saliva) masticate and break down the sandwich in each bite. Because the bread was fried in grease, butter, or margarine, which contains fats, along with the cheese that contains fats, the gallbladder revs up almost as soon as the sandwich pieces enter the stomach. In the stomach, acids begin to break down the starches into sugars which can be used or stored as glycogen or "fat tissues". The former "sandwich" is a liquidy thick mush before passing into the small intestines. The gallbladder's bile that empties into the duodenum helps break down fats so they can be absorbed through the small intestines. In the small intestines, fluid is pulled into the intestines, which along with muscle contractions (peristalsis) helps break down the food even further. Absorption of nutrients primarily occurs in the small intestines, and some in the ascending colon. In the transverse colon, the body pulls back out the excess fluid, routing it to the kidneys to process as waste. The remaining excrement proceeds down the descending colon, to the rectum, where it passes out the anus as feces (stool, bowel movement). Obviously, the actions of teeth, stomach, gallbladder (and in part, the liver), and especially the small intestines, the large intestines (with accompanying peristalsis), the blood supply, and kidneys are crucial to break down food and absorb nutrients.
