What are the only two substances that are absorbed across the stomach's mucosal epithelium?
alcohol, some drugs, some salts, and water
Where in the digesitve system is absorption?
alcohol and aspirin are absorbed in the stomach, everything else is absorbed in the small intestine and excess water and vitamins k and b are absorbed in the large intestine.

Where is Ibuprofen absorbed in the stomach or intestine?
Ibuprofen is mostly absorbed in the duodenum (small intestine). It cannot be absorbed through the lining of the stomach due to its low solubility in water and the low pH of stomach acid (since ibuprofen dissolves in water better at higher pH's).
During digestion where is water absorbed?
Large Intestine
Where are nutrients absorbed in the digestive system?
AnswerSince most all nutrients that a human needs are absorbed via the digestive system. All carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are absorbed in the small intestine.AnswerThings are absorbed throughout the entire system, with the exception of the esophagus. Some glucose, for example, can be absorbed in the mouth. Water, alcohol, and some nutrients are absorbed in the stomach. Most nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine. Water and some minerals and vitamins are absorbed in the colon. Most vitamin K is produced by bacteria in the colon and absorbed there.
Does aspirin help with dehydration?
Rehydration by drinking water is the best thing to do. Aspirin tablets won't help, and may irritate the stomach lining, especially if dehydrated.
Why is it recomened to take water with aspirin?
Aspirin is very acidic, and can cause heartburn or upset stomach in some people. Aspirin is also tough for your liver to breakdown, and some people believe that drinking extra water may help your body to metabolize the aspirin, though this is highly unlikely
When you swallow where does the food pass through?
After the break down of food by the stomach and the mouth. Majority of food is absorbed in the small intestines after the stomach. While the large intestines do absorb nutrients its main function is the reabsorption of water before defection. Some molecules can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream in the stomach by their composition and the amount of blood supply to the stomach itself for example alcohol.
Why does alcohol work so fast?
Alcohol is a drug that enters the bloodstream without being broken down in the stomach by the digestive system. Therefore alcohol gets to the brain quickly (unless there is enough food in the stomach to slow it down). When an alcoholic beverage is swallowed, it is diluted by gastric juices in the stomach. A small portion of the alcohol is diffused into the bloodstream directly from the stomach wall, but most passes through the pyloric junction into the small intestine, where it is very rapidly absorbed. However, up to half the alcohol is degraded in the stomach before it passes into the small intestine. In general, a lower percentage of the alcohol is degraded in a young woman's stomach than in a young man's because a young woman's gastric secretions contain lower levels of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which breaks down alcohol prior to absorption. The rate at which alcohol is absorbed can be affected by a number of factors. For example, a strong alcoholic drink, when taken into an empty stomach, may cause a spasm of the pylorus that will impede passage into the small intestine, resulting in a slower overall rate of absorption. The presence of food in the stomach, especially some fatty foods, will also delay absorption. Naturally carbonated alcohol such as champagne or alcohol taken with a carbonated beverage such as soda water will ordinarily be absorbed more rapidly than noncarbonated alcohol. Other factors, such as the emotional state of the drinker, may also affect the rate of absorption. *just a reminder that the amount of alcohol degraded in the stomach via gastric ADH is usually lower than the main organ of degradation via ADH, the liver. Gastric ADH is found within the stomach cells and not in gastric secretions. So ADH in fact mostly breaks down alcohol AFTER it's been absorbed, not before*
What happens if a person who never consumed alcohol consumes alcohol whiskey with out water half a liter at once on an empty stomach?
They would get alcohol poisoning, and would need their stomach pumped.
What does dry skin absorb?
