Yes, the human digestive system works through muscular contractions which force the food and liquid along. This is why we have no problems in space (apart from getting the food to stay on the plate). You can demonstrate this by hanging upside down and eating a sandwich just fine.
Interestingly, the digestive system of many birds does depend on gravity; this was discovered during a Space Shuttle mission to see if birds could handle space.
What else can I help you with?
Could you live without respiratory and digestive system?
NO! respiratory and digestive are the very essence of what keeps you alive
How the circulatory system work without the digestive system?
The Circulatory System works with the Digstive System in several ways. One of them being that the digestive system breaks down food to get the nutrients, where it is then sent to the ileum (small intestine) to be absorbed by the villi that cover the walls of the ileum. In the villi there is a capillary that absorbs the nutrients into the lood stream and the blood then distributes these nutrients (or energy) around the body because of the pumping action of the heart. Hope this helps a bit :)
Can an animal live without digestive systems?
not for long because an animal neds the digestive system to provide essential amino acids and essential vitamins and minearals which said animal could not live without
How could damage to the nervous system affect another body system?
none of the other body systems could function without direction from the nervous system or energy provided by the digestive and circulatory systems.
What if a part of the digestive system was blocked?
When a part of our digestive system is blocked a person or an animal could eventually die.
What if your digestive system wasn't there?
As our body works now, we would surely die without our digestive system! It is through our digestive system that we get the nutrients for all of the basic functions of our body. Without these nutrients would not be able to grow, move, repair damaged tissue or even breathe! However, I'd like to think humans could evolve some other way to get energy and nutrients to grow.... Maybe photosynthesis?? :)
Could an unhealthy digestive system cause sickness?
Yes It Can!
What is another kind of organ system that you could expect to find in a starfish?
In addition to the water vascular system responsible for movement and feeding, you could expect to find a digestive system in a starfish. This system includes the stomach and digestive glands for processing food.
Could you weigh yourself on a scale without gravity?
No, a scale measures weight, which is the force of gravity pulling you toward the center of the Earth. Without gravity, there would be no weight to measure.
Could the universe have formed without gravity?
No - without gravity, galaxies would not have formed, planets would not have formed, stars would not have formed.
Why does food change during the digestive system?
because if it did not digest it could kill you!!
What is the part of a cell that could be compared to the digestive system?
The lysosome in an animal cell.
