What else can I help you with?
What does movement refer to during digestion?
Are you referring to Motility which is the moving of the Chyme (eaten food that is being digested and absorbed) as it travels the Gastro-Intestinal Tract (GI Tract) from the mouth to the anus?
Do you pee yogurt or do you poop yogurt?
Yogurt, as a food product, is defecated out of the body.
What minerals are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract without being digested first?
Minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract without being digested first.
What are the lipoproteins that carry absorbed lipids from the intestinal tract to the bloodstream?
Chylomicrons
What are the lipoproteins that carry absorbed lipids from the intestinal tract to the bloodstream called?
Chylomicrons
What nutrients can be absorbed without first being digested in the human gastrointestinal tract?
cholesterol
Can chickens take medication designed to be absorbed in the intestine?
Yes. Many tonics and medications needed by chickens are designed to be absorbed by the intestinal tract of the bird.
What is the purpose of having a long digestive tract?
It makes sure that your food is completely digested and you have absorbed all the nutrients.
What is the main job of the undigested food?
Fiber, which is not digested, serves to stimulate peristalsis and helps to move the food through the gastro-intestinal tract.
How is the water you drink absorbed into the blood from the digestive tract?
Water is absorbed into the blood from the digestive tract through a process called osmosis. In the small intestine, water molecules move through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream, where they are then circulated throughout the body.
What do you use fiber to in your bodies?
Our bodies use fiber to facilitate the proper digestion and waste of foods that have already been digested. It keeps the intestinal tract moving.
Which nutrients can be absorbed without first being digested in the human gastrointestinal tract?
Monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose), amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals can be absorbed without first being digested in the human gastrointestinal tract. These nutrients are small enough to pass through the lining of the small intestine directly into the bloodstream. This process is facilitated by specific transport mechanisms for each type of nutrient. However, larger molecules like disaccharides and proteins require digestion by enzymes before they can be absorbed.
