What digestive enzyme does the small intestine produce?
The small intestine produces no digestive fluids. Its upper part (duodenum) is where the pancreatic enzymes (pancreas) and bile (liver, via gall bladder) are added to digesting food. In the lower part of the small intestine (jejunum) is where most food absorption takes place.
What happen to food in stomach of frogs?
Digestion and excretion The frog's digestive system begins with the mouth. Frogs have teeth along their upper jaw called the maxillary teeth, which are used to grind food before swallowing. These teeth are very weak, and cannot be used to catch or harm agile prey. Instead, the frog uses its sticky tongue to catch food (such as flies or other insects). The food then moves through the esophagus into the stomach. The food then proceeds to the small intestine (duodenum and ileum) where most digestion occurs. Frogs carry pancreatic juice from the pancreas, and bile (produced by the liver) through the gallbladder from the liver to the small intestine, where the fluids digest the food and extract the nutrients. When the food passes into the large intestine, the water is reabsorbed and wastes are routed to the cloaca. All wastes exit the body through the cloaca and the cloacal vent.
How many intestines does a cow have?
Two. (They are attached at the ileum). The intestines are the portion of the digestive tract between stomach and the anus. They are divided into two major sections: small intestine and large intestine. The small intestine averages 20 feet long. It is coiled in the center of the abdominal cavity. It is divided into 3 sections: upper, jejunum, and ileum. The lining of the small intestine secretes a hormone called secretin, which causes the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes. The large intestine is wider but is only about 5 ft. long. The large intestine is divided into 6 parts: cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum.
What organ produce digestive enzymes?
Enzymes are secreted by several organs of the digestive system: the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the small intestine. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract-a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus-and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food (see figure). Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine-also called the colon-rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract. Two "solid" digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play major roles in the digestive system. .

What part of the small intestine is the duodenum?

Function of chyme?
Chyme is the mix of food and digestive fluids. The term is often applied to the acidic mix that reaches the upper small intestine, the duodenum, where the acid is neutralized by bile from the gall bladder and by alkaline pancreatic fluid. At this point, the stomach enzymes cease activity and the food is prepared for absorption in the jejunum.
