How is poop made?

Poop is made by your digestive system. When you first take a bite of food, the process starts. The saliva in your mouth starts to break down the food. You then swallow the food sending it down your esophagus to your stomach. In your stomach, it meets up with hydrochloric acid that breaks it down into a pulp-like substance. Your stomach then contracts and sends it into your small intestines, where vitamins and nutrients are extracted. It continues down the intestines into the large intestines. The large intestines continue to pull liquid out of the feces. Once the feces is through the large intestines, it waits at the bottom, in your rectum, until you make a bowel movement... Or poop.


Fingerlike projections in the intestines that absorb food?

-Villi The first answer is correct in the villi are very small finger like projections in the intestines but I would suspect the question refers to the appendix.


Where are the majority of the nutrients absorbed?

The majority of nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, particularly in the duodenum and jejunum. This is where nutrients from food are broken down and then transported into the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells.


How much space do human small intestines take up?

The average length of the small intestine in humans is about 20 feet (6 meters) long. It is coiled and compacted within the abdominal cavity, occupying a significant amount of space. The small intestine plays a crucial role in digestion and nutrient absorption.


How many small human intestions does it take to rap around the earth?

# The human small intestine has three parts; the duodenum, the jejuneum, and the ileum. Since the duodenum is about a foot long, the jejunem is about 6 feet long, and the ileum is about 9 feet long, that makes the small intestine about 16 feet long. Since the duodenum is about a foot long, the jejunem is about 6 feet long, and the ileum is about 9 feet long, that make the small intestine about 16 feet long. That would mean that there are about 88 small intestines in every miles. Then id we multiply that by the earth's circumference of about 24900 miles, that means that there would need to be about 2.2 million human small intestines lined up end to end to reach all the way around the world.
