Which nutrient is digested by ptyalin?
Starch is digested by ptyalin.
What is the primary kind of motility in the small intestine during digestion of a meal?
Segmentation- series of stationary rhythmic contractions and relaxations of rings of intestinal smooth muscle; mixes intestinal contents. Segmentation mixes the cyme with intestinal secretions and brings it into repeated contact with the absorptive epithelium. The slow passage insures nutrient absorption.
Which nutrient stimulates the pancreas the most?
potein
What nutrient is digested by more enyzmes than any other nutrient?
Protien
Which nutrient is digested in the ileum?
Nothing is digested by the liver in the digestive system at all. So there is basically no answer to it.
What is the first nutrient to be chemically digested?
It is starch! I think
What organic nutrient is digested by salivary secretions?
Saliva
What is the nutrient digested in the mouth?
Starch (carbohydrates) is broken down (digested) to maltose by salivary amylase.
Does absorption of digested food occur in chyme?
Yes, absorption of digested food occurs in chyme, primarily in the small intestine. Chyme, which is the semi-liquid mass of partially digested food and digestive juices, is mixed with bile and pancreatic enzymes in the small intestine, facilitating nutrient breakdown. The intestinal walls have villi and microvilli that increase the surface area for absorption, allowing nutrients like amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids to enter the bloodstream. However, the majority of nutrient absorption occurs after chyme has passed through the stomach.
What are not digested?
CelluloseAnswer:To be a nutrient a food material has to be digested and incorporated into the body as stored fat, converted to muscle or other protein, or converted to energy. So no nutrient as "not digested"/ Non-nutrient materials which provide other functions are fiber and water, and minerals asn trace chemicals such as salt, iron, zinc. Vitsmins can be regarded as supplimental to the body's own production. fibre can not be digested
What is the most important function of the intestinal villi?
The most important function of the intestinal villi is to increase the surface area of the intestinal lining, which enhances nutrient absorption. These small, finger-like projections contain numerous microvilli that further amplify the absorptive surface. This structure allows for efficient uptake of essential nutrients, electrolytes, and water from digested food into the bloodstream. Additionally, the villi play a role in the overall health of the intestinal lining, supporting digestion and immune function.
What nutrient partially digested in the stomach in both children and adult?
fats
