When you swallow a peanut does the peanut first come in contact with the peritoneal cavity digestive mucosa small intestine or pancreatic juice?
digestive mucosa
Most of the enzymes and chemicals secreted by the upper end of the small intestine come from?
The villi, saliva, the liver and the pancreas or the large intestine.
What organ is NOT known to secrete a lipase?
The pancreas secretes many digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase, ribonuclease, deoxyribonuclease, gelatinase. proteases: carboxypeptidase, elastase, trypsin and chymotrypsin).Other digestive substances come from the saliva glands, stomach, small intestine, and liver.
After the stomach which come next in the alimentary canal?
Small intestine
What is the sequence of structure through which an absorbable food passes through the mouth to the anus?
mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anus
Why doesn't the small intestine contain the acid chyme?
The duodenum is the main site for digestion in the small intestine. Here, more enzymes are added to the chyme, some of which come from the intestinal wall and others from the pancreas. The pancreas is one of the major glands of the body, and has two functions: releasing digestive enzymes into the gut, and releasing hormones into the blood. Pancreatic juice also contains sodium bicarbonate, which neutralizes the acid chyme arriving in the duodenum, and provides an alkaline environment for optimum functioning of pancreatic and intestinal enzymes. These enzymes include proteases to continue protein digestion, amylase for carbohydrate digestion, and lipase for fat digestion. Enzymes in the intestinal juice generally start off the later stages of digestion.
What organ connects a frogs circulatory system and digestive system?
The digestive system organs of a frog are actually very similar to a human's digestive system. They have a stomach, 1 intestine, a liver, a gall bladder, and a rectum.
What contains digestive enzymes that help clean up the cell?
The lysosomes contains digestive enzymes that help clean up the cell. It also helps in breaking down the complex compounds that come into the cell.
Which organ system contains the intestines?
intestines: Digestive system lungs: Respiratory system
What body parts start with letter D?
duodenum (part of the intestine) · digestive system - converts food into fuel to give our body energy Duodenum, the first and shortest part of the small intestine. Diaphragm From Knowitall56 · digestive system · dimples your dome, in other words your head Deltoid, dens, Dowager's hump... Deltoid muscle, diaphragm, digestive system and dimples are human body parts.
What will happen if no small intestine?
The large intestine has, as its major function, the removal of water from the digestive tract at the end of the digestive process. (The small intestine is the primary absorber of nutrients from out of the digested material.) Without a large intestine, you'd have a much more liquid bowel emission. And you'd need to drink more water, too. It's not the best deal in the world, but it is something that can be lived with and just requires "management" on the part of an individual who has, due to accident or disease, lost the large or a large portion of the large intestine. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the large intestine.
What enzymes digest fat proteins and carbs?
Digestion of carbs begins in the mouth with the enzyme amylase. Digestion of proteins begins in the stomach with hydrochloric acid. Digestion continues in the small intestine. The extremely acidic sludge triggers the pancreas to produce most of the digestive enzymes, which break down both carbs and proteins. Enzymes can also come from digestive bacteria further down the line, or from the food itself, if the food was raw. If the carbs were mono-sugars to begin with, like glucose or fructose, I don't think they need enzymes to be absorbed through the small intestine. Likewise if proteins are single amino acids they are absorbed immediately. Lipids (fats) rely on bile salts, which are formed by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. Once again the gall bladder needs to be triggered by strong enough stomach acid to function. I'm not sure if enzymes are involved with lipids (pre-absoption, I mean). Nucleic acids I'm not sure about. Short answer: the pancreas.
