A process of emulsification which occurs occurs in the presence of bile. this allows the specialized lymphatic vessels called lacteals to draw the fat into the lymphatic system to be distributed throughout the body and to areas where it is needed.

What has a large surface area to help the cells absorb water quickly?
Root hair cell
What causes reverse peristalsis?
There are smooth muscles in the wall of an esophagus that move food downward with a squeezing action. These waves of muscle contractions move food through the entire digestive tract causing peristalsis.
Does eubacteria have a cell wall or not?
Most do, although there is a type of eubacteria that only has cell membrane and not walls.
What helps to support the plant cell and help it to maintain its shape?
The thing that helps to support the plant cell and helps it to maintain its shape is called the cell wall. The cell wall is only found on plant cells.
Why does the digestive system need nutrients?
The blood carries nutrients from the small intestine to all over the body. The villi in the small intestine allow nutrients from digested food to pass through the intestinal wall to the blood vessels. Then the blood carries the nutrients away.
How does a hookworm effect a human?
Hookworms live in the intestines and suck blood from the human host through the intestinal wall.
Does intestinal bacteria have a cell wall?
no
Which type of transportation requires energy to move sodium ions from a low concentration across the intestinal wall into a higher concentration?
Active transport.
Which type of transport requires energy to move sodium ions from a low concentrations across the intestinal wall into a higher concentrations?
Active transport.
What lymphatic organ prevents bacteria from breaching the intestinal wall?
Bacteria are prevented from crossing the intestinal wall by the integrity of the intestinal cells, particularly the tight junctions, as well as the mucus lining of the intestines. If bacteria make it into the interstitial space in the intestinal wall, there is a strong diffuse immune system presence in the form of the GALT (gut associated lymphatic tissue) that can quickly move to eliminate trans-locating bacteria. However, there is no specific lymphatic organ, just a collected of lymph nodes and lymph tissues.
What is a roundworm's food?

What is the abnormal dilation in the intestinal wall?

What is the function of the mucus secreted by the large intestine?
To protect the intestinal wall against abrasion and irritation from the chyme. It also helps the particles of fecal matter together.
How do things move in or out of an animal cell?
Through the cell wall.
Projection on the intestinal wall are called?

Does absorption move food through the digestive system?
No absorbtion is when the vitimins and minerals from your food are absorbed (move through the Partially permiable membrane which is your get wall) into you blood steam. This is how your body gets the nutrients from your food. Food is moved through your digestive system by your gut pushing it along. Hope this helps!
What helps the bacterium to move in a cell?
Some bacteria may have a Flagella which is an external structure whip-like extensions through the cell wall that provides locomotion or mobility for the cell.
