It uses both mechanical and chemical breakdown. The muscles of the stomach and the stoma (well a special opening that allows food to enter and to leave) push food into the intestines. Acid within the stomach and other no so famous chemicals break down the food to be small enough to be processed in the intestines and colons. Another device helps the stomach and uses chemical breakdown too: The gall bladder emits bile and the liver filters broken down matter and dangerous matter (such as alcohol, diseases, foreign matter (smoke, marijuana, poison, etc).
What else can I help you with?
Does your pancreas use chemical or mechanical breakdown?
Chemical
What two organs use both mechanical and chemical digestion?
Both the mouth and the stomach perform mechanical and chemical digestion.
Two anatomic regions involved in the mechanical breakdown of food?
The mouth and the stomach are two anatomical regions involved in the mechanical breakdown of food. In the mouth, teeth mechanically break down food into smaller pieces through mastication. In the stomach, muscular contractions churn and mix food with digestive juices to further break it down into a semi-liquid state.
The breakdown of food by both mechanical and chemical mechanisms is known as?
Digestion is the process by which food is broken down by both mechanical (chewing, churning) and chemical (enzymes, acids) mechanisms in the body to extract nutrients and energy for use by cells.
What type of Mechanical digestion takes place in your mouth stomach and small intestines I?
Chemical and mechanical ingestion take place in the mouth. Chemical and mechanical digestion also take place in the stomach. Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine.Ingestion, digestion then absorption.In the mouth, both chemical digestion and mechanical digestion happen. The mechanical part is your teeth crushing the food into smaller pieces. The chemical part is when the salivary glands give off a special fluid that contains enzymes. When food enters the stomach, an enzyme is released that helps to digest food chemicaly. The muscles in the stomach also digest food mechanicly. Lastly, the small intestine completes the chemical and mechanical digestion of food. The small intestine takes out all the useful matirial and sends it to the cells as tiny molecules that the cells use in cellular resparation.Baisicly, they all use chemical and mechanical digestion.
Does the large intestine use chemical or mechanical digestion?
The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from undigested food, with little to no involvement in chemical or mechanical digestion. Its main role is to form and store feces before they are eliminated from the body.
What is a physical and chemical change that take place in the digestion of food?
A physical change that occurs during digestion is the mechanical breakdown of food into smaller pieces through chewing and churning in the stomach. A chemical change that takes place is the breakdown of macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into simpler molecules like amino acids, glucose, and fatty acids through the action of enzymes.
What energy occurs when food is digested?
the energy transformation is:Physical energy because of you chewing the Food- Chemical because of the enzyme's of your saliva- And there is Heat energy because of your stomach acid churing it making it Absorbable energy
Type of digestion that takes place in the mouth and stomach?
Both chemical and mechanical digestion take place in the mouth and stomach. The organs both break food into smaller parts, and use enzymes to break down food chemically.
What type of energy transfer does grilling a hamburger use?
It goes from chemical to kinetic.
Is bile used for chemical or mechanical digestion?
it is use for chemical digestion as it emulsifies fats.
How is digestion a series of chemical reactions?
Digestion is a series of chemical reactions because the food is broken down and changed in physical properties and made into nutrients for the body to use as energy.
