intestinal phase
It allows food to pass from the stomach to the duodenum.
The chyme, also known as Chymus, is the liquid substance found in the stomach before passing through the pyloric valve and entering the duodenum.
A horse's digestive system operates in the same fashion as a human does, except that after chyme exits the small intestine, it goes into the large cecum to undergo fermentation (a similar process as that in the rumen of a cow) before it is moved into the large intestine and digesta expelled as feces.
Digestion and absorption. Yummy! The length of the the small intestine allows for more absorption time and its epithelium has specialized villi and on the villi has microvilli adding to its absorption ability. Although digestion does begin in the oral cavity turning the food we eat into a bolus, and the stomach does it's job by turning the bolus into chyme, most of the digestion and absorption takes place in the small intestine. The stomach will squeeze out chyme, in small quantities at a time, into the first part of the small intestine: the duodenum, which is where most of the digestion will take place thanks to more secretions by the gallbladder and pancreas. Then it gets moved along into the jejunum of the small intestine; more absorption along the way, and finally the to the last part of the small intestine, the ileum. At this point everything will have been digested and most of the nutrients will have been absorbed, and now off to the large intestine for its next journey out into the world...life is good!
it is to finnish digesting the food and get it ready for the large intestine to get extracted
Gastric bypass surgery is not for everyone. If you feel like your morbidly obese or just overweight, this is a possible option, but one should realize the pros and cons of undergoing such a surgery procedure.
Functions Of The StomachAlthough it is a very complex organ which performs a wide variety of digestive actions, the stomach has 3 main functions:It stores the food bolus we swallow. This allows us to eat a large number of food calories in a relatively short time and then digest it over a longer period. Without the stomach's storage capacity, we would need to eat very small amounts of food continuously throughout the day, because the small intestine digests food very slowly. Gastric bypass induces weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach, so that less food (and thus fewer calories) can be eaten. See Bariatric Surgery Guide.It breaks down large fat and protein molecules in food, so they can be absorbed in the small intestine. To do this, the stomach releases a number of powerful gastric juicescontaining hydrochloric acid and other digestive enzymes. In addition to breaking down food, these acidic juices (PH 1-3) also kill bacteria in the food. For easier digestion, powerful muscles in the stomach wall churn the food into a paste of porridge-like consistency, called chyme. This churning action also ensures that the secreted gastric acids and enzymes are thoroughly mixed with the food.It empties the partially digested chyme into the duodenum (the first segment of the small intestine) at a manageable speed, through the the pyloric sphincter. While the intestine is full and still digesting food, the stomach acts as storage area for food.The absorption of food and water by the stomach is negligible, but iron and highly fat-soluble substances like alcohol are absorbed directly. Finger-like folds called villi give the stomach a huge surface both to absorb food and secrete digestive juices.Special cells secrete a protective coating called mucus, on the stomach walls to prevent damage from gastric acids. Originally it was thought that peptic ulcers were caused by an erosion of this mucus lining by these acids. However recent research indicates that these ulcers are caused largely by the spread of a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori bacterium into the gastric walls.Food typically takes 4-5 hours to pass through the stomach into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine.
The correct verb form is: will be moved
It is used in constipation. They work by increasing water and electrolyte secretion by the mucosa and increased peristalsis movement by stimulating sensory nerve endings in GI mucosa. The faeces are moved through the bowel too rapidly so that watery stools is elimination.
