The three organs that work together to help the small intestine are the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Hope I helped. (=

What happen to the food you have eaten as it goes to the stomach?
When food enters the stomach, it is mixed with stomach acid and enzymes. The stomach muscles then contract, churning the food and breaking it down into smaller particles. This partially digested food, called chyme, moves into the small intestine where further digestion and absorption of nutrients occur. The nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream, while the remaining waste travels to the large intestine and eventually leaves the body as feces.
Where does undigested food leave the body?
no.the large does,and not for long.it has to be excreted.
What are the enzymes found in the frog's digestive system?
Frogs digest their food in a very similar way as humans do, via digestive enzymes. This includes acids to digest the food, then enzymes in the stomach wall to break down the dissolved materials even further.
4 substance that enters and leaves through the cell membrane?
food enters, waste leaves
When a mature egg leaves the ovary it enters the?
It enters the oviduct
The soupy liquid which leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine is called .?
Chyme.
What the stomach does in the digestion system?
The stomach digests the proteins in a meal. When it is finished digesting those proteins, the food leaves the stomach to be digested more and absorbed in the small intestine.
What is the short section of the small intestine that leaves the stomach?
The duodenum is the section of the small intestine that is attached to the stomach.
During digestion what food group leaves the stomach first?
which of the following foods leaves the stomach first?
What does food pass through when it leaves the stomach?
The small intestine.
Where does the liquid that leaves the stomach go?
Once it leaves the stomach, the partially digested contents (technical term - "chyme") enter the small intestine at the duodenum. As the chyme passes through the small intestine, further digestion takes place, as well as the absorption of useful nutrients.
When food leaves the stomach is it completely digested?
No, it still has to go through the small intestine, and the large intestine.
Where does food turn to chyme?
food converted into chyme when it leaves stomach to small intestine
Why is cecum very important in horse?
The cecum is an enlarged area of large intestine that makes up about 25%-30% of the large intestine. As food leaves the small intestine it enters the cecum first, this is where the food is fermented to allow for better digestion before passing into the colon. The cecum allows for the breakdown of essential fatty acids and other nutrients which are vital to horses.
Describe the process of absorption of protein in the small intestine?
The small intestine is where the majority of food digestion occurs. At this point carbohydrates and proteins are already partially digested, while lipids have not yet begun. Chyme leaves the stomach and enters the duodenum (the 1st portion of the small intestine) via the pyloric sphincter. Here, maltase breaks down maltose into glucose monomers and peptidases break down peptides into amino acids. Bile is then released from the gall bladder and enters the small intestine via the bile duct to aid in the digestion of fats into glycerol and fatty acids. The chyme then enters the jejunum (the 2nd portion of the small intestine) where digestion continues and absorption begins(the jejunum is composed of many fold that increase its surface area and therefore improve absorption.) Glucose and amino acids are transported across the membrane by means of active transport (requires ATP) while glycerol and fatty acids require the help of carrier proteins (micelles (produced in the liver)) to enter the blood stream. Next, the chyme enters the ileum (the 3rd portion of the small intestine) which is mainly responsible for the absorption of select nutrients (ie. vitamin c). Once the chyme leaves the small intestine, most of the nutrients have been absorbed and only waste products and water remain; this is called liquid stool.

What happens to a cheese sandwich that was eaten for lunch from the time it enters the mouth until it leaves the body at the anus?
the cheese sandwich first undergoes mechanical (chewing) and chemical (break down of starch by salivary amylase) digestion, then is made into a bolus (ball of food) and swallowed. The bolus then travels down the oesophagus into the stomach, where more chemical digestion occurs. From here, it is transported into the small intestine, where soluable substances are absorbed into the bloodstream, then what is left travels into the large intestine, where all water is absorbed into the bloodstream. What is left then is excreted out of the body through the anus as faeces.
