What else can I help you with?
Why digestion is not completed inside your stomach?
Absorbtion
How is the inside of a frog's stomach different to the outside?
increased surface area which allows for more efficient digestion
What is chime in digestion?
It's a form of physical digestion, I assume its the substance inside your stomach, i.e liquid in the central region.
When does santorum occur in your digestion?
It does not occur during digestion. Santorum occurs inside the bowels usually.
The muscular ridges found inside the stomach are called?
The muscular ridges found inside the stomach are called rugae. These ridges allow the stomach to expand and contract to accommodate food and assist in the digestion process by increasing the surface area for nutrient absorption.
What organ liquifies foods by secreting hydrochloric acid?
the stomach produce hydrochloric acid that kills bacteria in our present food we ate and activates protease for digestion to take place.
What is the name given to digestive juice found inside stomachs?
Gastric juice is mixed with food in the stomach to promote digestion.
Why doesnt gastric juice digest inside of the stomach?
because the inside of our stomach is protected by a mucosal layer that prevents its own digestion. Now, it doesn't mean that the inside of the stomach can never be damaged by the gastric juice. An ulcer occurs when this layer of mucus has been destroyed by the acidity of the gastric juice (with the help of certain bacterial infections in the stomach).
Does Mitosis occur in the lining of the stomach?
Yes, mitosis occurs in the lining of the stomach to replenish and repair the cells that are constantly being shed due to the harsh acidic environment and mechanical abrasion during digestion. This process helps to maintain the integrity and functionality of the stomach lining.
Why food vacuole is not formed in your stomach?
Food vacuoles are structures that form in other organisms, such as protists, to digest food inside their cells. In humans, digestion mainly occurs in the stomach through the action of enzymes and stomach acid breaking down food. The human digestive system does not form food vacuoles because digestion is extracellular, occurring in the stomach and intestines rather than inside cells.
What structure do mammals have that performs the same function as the gizzard?
Mammals have the stomach that performs a similar function to the gizzard. The stomach in mammals contracts and grinds food with the help of stomach acids and muscular movements to break down food particles for digestion.
Describe the appearance of the iniside of the stomach how do the rugaw within the stomach aid in mechanical digestion?
The inside of the stomach features a mucosal lining with folds called rugae, which allow the stomach to expand when filled with food. These rugae increase the surface area and help facilitate mechanical digestion by aiding in the churning and mixing of food with gastric juices. This action breaks down food into smaller particles, promoting further digestion and nutrient absorption. The muscular contractions of the stomach wall, combined with the rugae, enhance the efficiency of the digestive process.
