What else can I help you with?
Why is the liver not part of the alimentary canal?
Think of the alimentary canal as being a tube that carries and processes food. The liver processes/cleans blood and stores energy, and is not directly associated with the processing of food...therefore not part of the alimentary canal.
Is alimentary canal a organ?
i think so nt sure
How does the food reach the alimentary canal if you are hanging upside down?
I can see that you think that gravity will pull it down. However food is moved through the digestive system by muscular action (called peristalsis) not gravity. Therefore it does not matter which way up an animal is.
What is the biological name for digestive system?
I think you may be looking for Alimentary Canal
Why is the alimentary canal so long?
The length of the alimentary canal allows for the slow and efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients. The long length also provides ample surface area for nutrient absorption to occur. Additionally, the presence of different sections in the alimentary canal enables various digestive processes to take place, contributing to overall digestive efficiency.
Why do you think the intestines have muscles?
Peristaltic muscle contractions move food along the alimentary canal.
Does fiber help food particles travel through the digestive system?
yes. fiber provide bulk to the food moving along the alimentary canal. It helps in peristalsis occurring in the walls of gut. I think its enough :)
Where in the alimentary canal does absorption of food take place?
I think maybe the stomach absorbs food molecules to break it down so its easier to pass through your intestines. ( i think this is right I'm not quite shore though .)
Where are food substances absorbed?
Digestive enzymes are absorbed in the small intestine. Digestive enzymes are produced by the digestive tract to break down the nutrients in food.
Is the moon upside down when it sets?
No, the moon is not upside down when it sets. The perception of upside down depends on your location on Earth and the orientation of your perspective.
What year did the Americans begin work on the canal?
i think that the panama canal was worked on in the year of 1842
Does food automatically move through your digestive system?
In human beings, gravity.
