What else can I help you with?
What organ would have the smallest impact on digestion absorption and elimination if removed?
turtles
What are the functions of the intestines?
Digestion, absorption, and elimination.
What are the 4 jobs of the digestion system?
Ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination.
What are the organs of the digestion in order that the food passes through?
Food passes through the following organs in order during the process of digestion: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. Each organ plays a specific role in breaking down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
What are the four stages of processing food that occur in the human body?
The four stages of processing food in the human body are ingestion (taking in food), digestion (breaking down food into nutrients), absorption (absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream), and elimination (removing waste).
Which pharynx is continuous with the esophagus?
The oropharynx is the part of the pharynx that is continuous with the esophagus. Food and liquids pass from the mouth through the oropharynx into the esophagus for digestion and absorption in the digestive system.
What happens to a sandwich when you eat it relative to events occurring in ingestion digestion absorption and elimination?

How many steps are there in the digestive system?
There are 7 general steps associated with locations in the body: 1. The mouth (chewing and salivary glands) 2. The esophagus (swallowing and entering the stomach) 3. The stomach (digestion by acid) 4. and 5. The small intestine (digestion by bile and pancreatic enzymes - duodenum) (absorption of nutrients - jejunum and ileum) 6. The large intestine (absorption of water and nutrients) 7. The rectum (waste elimination)
How do enzymes contribute to health?
Their energy-producing properties are responsible for not only the digestion of nutrients, but their absorption, transportation, metabolization, and elimination as well.
What happens to nutrients in the esophagus?
Nutrients in the esophagus mainly pass through to the stomach via peristalsis, which is the coordinated muscle contractions that push food downward. Absorption of nutrients does not occur in the esophagus.
What organs are in the gut?
The gut, or gastrointestinal tract, primarily consists of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine (which includes the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), and large intestine (which includes the cecum, colon, rectum, and anus). Additionally, accessory organs such as the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder play crucial roles in digestion and nutrient absorption. Together, these organs facilitate the processing of food, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of waste.
