What nutrient does not undergo digestion until it reaches the small intestine?
Fat is a nutrient that is not fully digested until it reaches the small intestine. Enzymes called lipases break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine, where they can then be absorbed into the bloodstream.
What stimulates the hormone cholecystokinin from the intestinal wall?
This is a digestive hormone released with secretin when food from the stomach reaches the first part of the small intestine. It is made by some of the cells lining the first part of the small intestine.
Does food reach the small intestine before it reaches the stomach?
No. Food goes to the stomach and then to the small intestine.
What nutrients begins digestion only when it reaches the small intestine?
Fats are not digested until they reach the small intestine.
Where are proteins digested in your body and how?
Proteins are digested in the stomach and small intestine. In the stomach, the enzyme pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. These peptides are further broken down into amino acids in the small intestine by enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, which are released by the pancreas.
Why doesn't the small intestine contain the acid chyme?
The duodenum is the main site for digestion in the small intestine. Here, more enzymes are added to the chyme, some of which come from the intestinal wall and others from the pancreas. The pancreas is one of the major glands of the body, and has two functions: releasing digestive enzymes into the gut, and releasing hormones into the blood. Pancreatic juice also contains sodium bicarbonate, which neutralizes the acid chyme arriving in the duodenum, and provides an alkaline environment for optimum functioning of pancreatic and intestinal enzymes. These enzymes include proteases to continue protein digestion, amylase for carbohydrate digestion, and lipase for fat digestion. Enzymes in the intestinal juice generally start off the later stages of digestion.
What nutrient begins undergoing digestion only when it reaches the small intestine?
Fats are not digested until they reach the small intestine.
Undigested food will have its water removed when it reaches this organ?
The large intestine.
What is the different between lipase and bile?
Bile is different than digestive enzymes because bile is not an enzymes but it is a juice that is secreted by liver and then is stored in gallbladder, which is then send to the small intestine for making the medium basic . this medium allows other enzymes to be reactive in this medium.
How does antibiotics from the small intestine reach the right foot?
The small intestine absorbs nutrients before material reaches the large intestine. So the antibiotic would be absorbed.
What is after the small intestine?
When the food reaches the small intestine the nutrients are absorbed into the blood through the intestine wall and then the food that was not digested goes to the large intestines where water is absorbed then it is excreted
Which best describes food when it reaches the large intestine?
Most of the nutrients have been removed.
