No it is not, the stomach initiates protein digestion and denatures proteins. The intestines is the first site where absorption takes place.
If your asking about primary absorption in digestion and the absorption of nutrients into the body, then primary absorption is the first (primary) place in the body where nutrients are absorbed. In humans this takes place in the small intestines after the food has been broken down in the stomach and passed on to the small intestine.
Most of the physical digestion takes place in the stomach, but the completion and absorption is done in the small intestine.
it takes place in your stomach.lol
Digestion first takes place in the mouth, then the stomach, and then in the small intestines.
It is a process by which diffusible nutrients transfered from the gut into the blood or lymph by physico-chemical process and active transport. No absorption occurs in buccal cavity and very little absorption takes place in the stomach e.g. of alcohol. Particullarly all absorption takes place through the small intestine.
Stomach
After the stomach performs the first dissolving of food with hydrochloric acid, and absorbs ethanol, the partially broken-down food passes through the duodenum and is mixed with bile. A small amount of nutrient absorption occurs there. The mixture goes on to the longest part of the small intestine, called the jejunum, where most nutrient absorption takes place. Then, the mix moves on to the large intestine (colon), where water absorption takes place. After the colon squeezes out most of the water, the mix moves through the rectal canal and out of the body.
Water absorption takes place in both the small and large intestine's. Around 90% of water absorption takes place in the small intestines, equally between all three sections. The remainder of the water absorption to produce "formed" faeces takes place in the large intestines.
First, if it's a pill, it has to dissolve in the body. Absorption through the stomach is slowed down by the mucus lining of the stomach and whatever else is already in there. A lot of drug absorption takes place in the small intestine. Some pills are coated with a substance that stops them dissolving until they reach the small intestine. But they won't get there until the stomach pushes them into it, and the stomach leaves whatever arrives in it lying around for a while.
The top portion of the intestine is called the duodenum. It is the first part of the small intestine where much of the digestion and absorption of nutrients takes place. It receives partially digested food from the stomach and plays a key role in breaking down nutrients for absorption into the body.
yes, you can because during ionic absorption it causes gas in your abdonminal area. The absorption of minerals normally takes place in the small intestines.
