The duodenum, it's a tiny valve which regulates the amount of food that your small intestine intakes
Thanks!
Smooth muscle in your digestive tract constricts / squeezes behind food and relaxes ahead of it producing unidirectional movement. This process is called peristalsis.
epiglottis
The small intestine stops (ends) at its junction with the large intestine just above the cecum. Its origin is from the stomach at the gastroduodenal junction. The first part of the small intestine is the duodenum.
the small intestine. Pancreatic amylase, which is from the pancreas, enters the small intestine to digest the carbohydrates also, but the small intestine itself has many specific enzymes, including maltase, sucrase, and lactase. There is also an amylase from the saliva, which works in the mouth, but once the food (or bolus, now) enters the stomach, the salivary amylase stops working.
First, if it's a pill, it has to dissolve in the body. Absorption through the stomach is slowed down by the mucus lining of the stomach and whatever else is already in there. A lot of drug absorption takes place in the small intestine. Some pills are coated with a substance that stops them dissolving until they reach the small intestine. But they won't get there until the stomach pushes them into it, and the stomach leaves whatever arrives in it lying around for a while.
The large intestine is larger in diameter. There is a valve called the iliocecal valve where they join.
Pepsin becomes inactive when it reaches the small intestine where the pH is between 7 and 9. It functions best when in an acidic environment like the stomach.
It occurs in the stomach, the esophagus and the intestines.
The ring of muscle at the entrance to the stomach is the lower esophageal sphincter. This muscle is normally contracted to close the esophagus. At the lower end of the stomach food passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum of the small intestine.
Cartilage is the part of the skeleton that never stops growing.
1.You chew it,your saliva softens it,you swallow it. 2.I falls down your gullet< into the stomach and gets digested. 3.when is a thick watery piece of goo,it goes down into the small intestine where the nutrients are absorbed. 4.It then goes into the LARGE intestine and the water content is absorbed.By then it is HARD. 5.It stops in your rectum and goes out though your anus. 6.It goes into the toilet bowl and Bye-bye!
your stomach has special lining and mucus to stop your acid from destroying it.
The breaking down of starches begins in your mouth with salivary amylase.Mouth.Your saliva contains the enzyme known as amylase, which digests starch.If you leave something with sugar in it on your tongue, you can taste the sweetness when the amylase starts to break it down.
The small intestine.The lower intestine also pulls a lot of water out of the waste along with sodium and some other nutrients. Some of the bacteria in the large intestine helps break down what escaped previous stops in the digestive track.
