What else can I help you with?
What organ is the site of the majority of mechanical digestions?
Most of the digestion occurs (believe it or not) not in the stomach, but the smaller intestine.
What organ is the site of the majority of mechanical digestions of food?
Most of the digestion occurs (believe it or not) not in the stomach, but the smaller intestine.
The mechanical and chemical receptors that control digestive activity are located?
In the walls of the tract organs
Which organ in the digestive system is not involved in chemical or mechanical digestion?
small intestine
This organ helps break up your food?
mouth, stomach, samll intestine, large intestine
What organ carries out most chemical digestion?
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the small intestine. This organ plays a crucial role in the chemical digestion of food.
Chemical digestion of carbohydrates begins in this organ?
Mouth: in saliva there is this amylase enzym to break it down to sugar(s)
What is an example of mechanical barrier that the body uses for protection?
The largest organ in the human body, our skin, is effectually, an excellent mechanical barrier. There are of course, some chemical and bacterial (normal flora) factors that play a part, but its mechanical function is its largest asset for sure. A break in the integrity of this mechanical barrier (i.e. an abrasion, laceration, puncture, incision, etc) provides an open door and an excellent opportunity for foreign bacteria and viruses to invade and potentially infect the host.
Organ responsible for chemical digestion and absorbtion of food?
The small intestine is the organ responsible for both chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. Enzymes and bile break down the food, while nutrients are absorbed through the small intestine's lining into the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells.
IsYour tongue mechanical or chemical?
The tongue is primarily a chemical sensory organ responsible for detecting taste molecules in food. It contains taste buds that send signals to the brain to interpret different flavors. The mechanical functions of the tongue, such as pushing and moving food around in the mouth during chewing and swallowing, are secondary to its role in taste perception.
What organ does mechanical digestion occur in?
Stomach and Mouth
Which organ does mechanical and chemical digestion begin?
mechanical digestion is when you are breaking down food almost by hand. you're breaking it down manually. an example of mechanical digestion is chewing. it begins in your mouth and ends once you swallow.
