Bacteria.
Yes, but much of it can't be broken down and it is passed in the feces.
What else can I help you with?
What is a gland that helps the small intestine by producing enzymes that help break down food?
The Large Intestine
What produces pancreatic juices to further break down food?
large intestine
Function of stomach small intestine large intestine?
they break down food and absorb the nutrients so our body can use it.
What are some indigestible waste products found in the large intestine?
cerebral spinal fluid, happens in the small instestine which follows it to the cecum, where the large instestine secretes, roasted insulin by products, where they use enzymes and antacids to break down the food.
Does the large intestine break down fat?
No, the large intestine does not break down fat. Its primary functions are to absorb water and electrolytes, and to process waste for elimination. The digestion and breakdown of fats primarily occur in the small intestine through the action of bile and pancreatic enzymes. By the time food reaches the large intestine, most nutrients, including fats, have already been absorbed.
How is the function of the small intestines different from the function of the large intestines?
The function of the small intestine is to break down foods and the function of the large intestine is to clean out the food that are not absorbed as wastes.
How is the function of the small intestine different from the function of the large intestine?
The stomach and small intestine both help with digestion. However, the stomach breaks down the food with acids and is mostly a large cavity, while the small intestine absorbs the nutrients and is a long winding path.
Does protease work in the large intestine?
Proteases primarily function in the stomach and small intestine, where they break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. In the large intestine, there is little to no protease activity because the majority of protein digestion occurs earlier in the digestive process. However, some bacteria in the large intestine can produce their own proteases to help break down undigested proteins and peptides. Overall, the role of proteases is minimal in the large intestine compared to other digestive organs.
How does cheese break down inside your body?
Cheese is broken down in the stomach using the pepsin enzyme to break down the proteins and fats. Then, these proteins and fats are absorbed through the small intestine. The residual mass (such as rennet) is passed onto the large intestine to dispose.
What is the significant role of the stomach?
to break down food and make the small and large intestine able to digest the nutrients
What happens to food that is not digested in small intestine?
It is passed along to the large intestine, where water and other substances are absorbed. Helpful bacteria in the large intestine can break down undigested materials into soluble forms, including some important vitamins.
