What are the effects of removing stomach both effects on lifestyle and digestion?
well, without a stomach, there is no complete digestive system,and no digestive system means you cannot suvive for very long.
How does digestion of carbohydrates and proteins take place in your body?
The digestion of carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and of protein is so different, that when they are mixed in the stomach they interfere with the digestion of each other. An acid process (gastric digestion) and an alkaline process (salivary digestion) can not be carried on at the same time in an ideal way in the stomach. In fact, they cannot proceed together at all for long as the rising acidity of the stomach contents soon completely stops carbohydrate digestion and this is followed by fermentation.
Why does the digisition of starch stops when food reaches the stomach?
Carbohydrate digestion happens mostly in the mouth and esophagus, surprisingly. This combines with the fact that the enzymes in saliva that cause digestion stop functioning when they reach the stomach.
Why does digestion occur inside your body?
The digestion of food starts in the mouth where it is masticated. Saliva is added to form a bolus. This is the start of chemical digestion. Salivary Amylase breaks downs carbs. Food then goes down oesophagus ito stomach where digestion continues. The stomach muscles churn the food with hydrochloric acid and lubricates it with mucus. This then forms a substance called chyme. The hydrochloric acid deactivates salivary amylase and neutralises bacteria. There is a lot more to it but just remember that it starts in the mouth.
Is the stomach more important then kidney?
The importance of vital functional organs cannot be judged independently in relation to another all all organs are important for functional life process such as digestion, excretion etc
Can sound be seen?
no you cannot you can just see the effects of it no you cannot you can just see the effects of it no you cannot you can just see the effects of it
Why is there hydrochloric acid in the stomach?
Pepsin, which is used to break down proteins, cannot work unless it is in an acid environment. Due to this fact, the stomach secretes both pepsin and hydrochloric acid to digest the protein in a meal.
Where does digestion of food first start?
Chemical digestion begins in the mouth, when our salivary amylase breaks down starch(on a-plus) the STOMACH begins digestion of protein by emulsifying food.i promise you its the right answer.
What Nutrients are absorbed in the .?
The functions of the stomach are to (1) store food, (2) to initiate protein digestion, (3) to kill bacteria with gastric juice and (4) to move chyme into the duodenum.Very little nutrient absorption occurs in the stomach because this isn't really a gastric function. However, there are three substances that stomach membrane is able to absorb -- Water, alcohol and aspirin.Someone once pointed out that if nutrients were absorbed by the stomach, bulimia would not have all of it's negative effects. Unfortunately, this comment cannot be true and doesn't make sense because bulimics induce vomiting and this must necessarily come from the stomach. Therefore it wouldn't matter if nutrient absorption took place in the stomach, food wouldn't be there long enough for absorption to occur.
What do enzymes help digestion?
Enzymes are involved in the digestion of all types of foods except, of course, the foods that cannot be digested (like cellulose).
What is bad for digestion?
Any organic or inorganic matter consumed that cannot be synthesised by the enzymes in the body will result in bad digestion. Food that is infected with microbes or pathogens bacteria can cause bad digestion and flatulence,
Complex carbohydrates that cannot be digested but aid in digestion?
cellulose and insoluble fibers
