What animals has a large intestine that serves as a site for fermentation as well as absorption of water and electrolytes a dog or a horse or a cat or a sheep?
Horse and sheep have a large intestine that serves as a site for fermentation as well as absorption of water and electrolytes. Dogs and cats have a shorter and simpler large intestine compared to horses and sheep.
Which animal has a large intestine that serves as a site for fermentation as well as absorption of water and electrolytes?
Animals that have a large intestine that serves as a site for fermentation as well as absorption of water and electrolytes are humans and horses.
What organ does most digestion take place?
Most chemical digestion occurs in the stomach and absorption occur in the intestines in humans and many other animals.
What is a typhlosole?
A typhlosole is a fold in the intestine of certain animals, such as earthworms, that increases the surface area available for nutrient absorption. It helps in the digestion process by increasing the contact between food and digestive enzymes, allowing for more efficient absorption of nutrients.
Are animals heterotrophic by ingestion or absorption?
Animals are heterotrophic by ingestion. Fungi are heterotrophic by absorption.
Do animals have gallbladders and what is their function in the digestive system?
Yes, animals do have gallbladders. The gallbladder stores bile, a fluid produced by the liver that helps in the digestion of fats. When needed, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine to aid in the breakdown and absorption of fats from food.
What does a intestine do for a fish?
The intestine in a fish plays a crucial role in digestion, absorbing nutrients from food, and eliminating waste. It is where the final stages of digestion and nutrient absorption occur before waste is passed out of the body.
What has the author Jonas Tallkvist written?
Jonas Tallkvist has written: 'Nickel permeation pathways in the small intestine and the olfactory system' -- subject(s): Smell, Intestinal absorption, Nickel, Molecular aspect, Rats as laboratory animals
Do cows have a small intestine and a large intestine?
Yes they do, just like you and I and all other animals.
Where does digestion and absorption take place in animals?
No
What is a pyloric ceca?
Pyloric ceca are finger-like projections found in the intestine of some animals, such as fish, amphibians, and insects. They increase the surface area of the intestine for absorption of nutrients and can also play a role in digestion and enzyme secretion.
Pouch where almost all animals digest food?
The pouch where almost all animals digest food is called the stomach. The stomach receives food from the esophagus and breaks it down using stomach acids and enzymes. The broken-down food is then passed on to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
