Large Food Molecules in The Small Intestine!
What kind of a cell lines the small intestine and assembles fat?
The small intestine is lined with epithelial cells. These specialized cells have microvilli on their surface, which increase their surface area for absorption. These cells play a key role in the absorption of nutrients and fats from the digestive tract into the bloodstream.
The rectum removes food from the large intestine that cannot be digested?
It is kind of true. It is more accurate to say that the rectum removes food from the large intestine that has already been digested.A+ True
What is the picture of small intestine with stomach?
The small intestine is a long, coiled tube connecting the stomach to the large intestine. It is responsible for further digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. The stomach is a muscular organ located on the left side of the upper abdomen and is involved in the initial digestion of food.
What kind of food enters the large intestine?
undigested food enters the large intestine. Most of the digestion is done in stomach and small intestine, the rest enters the colon. some complex polysaccharides are broken into simpler forms by bacteria living in the cecum and colon. Other than that it's only assimilation and formation of stool in the large intestine.
What kind of epithelial tissue is found in the duodenum?
The duodenum is lined with simple columnar epithelium, which is specialized for absorption and secretion. This type of epithelium contains cells with microvilli that increase the surface area for nutrient absorption in the small intestine.
How does the small intestine work with the digestive system?
Here. Look up on Wiki Answers "how does the small intestine work with other systems?" If this doesn't help type in this question on google. There is a great answer on this site for it. I had the same question :)
How are the villi of the small intestine important to the digestive system?
Digestion and absorption. Yummy! The length of the the small intestine allows for more absorption time and its epithelium has specialized villi and the villi have microvilli adding to its surface area and absorption ability. Although digestion does begin in the oral cavity turning the food we eat into a bolus, and the stomach does it's job by turning the bolus into chyme, most of the digestion and absorption takes place in the small intestine. The stomach will squeeze out chyme, in small quantities at a time, into the first part of the small intestine: the duodenum, which is where most of the digestion will take place thanks to more secretions by the gallbladder (stores bile) and pancreas (produces bile). Then it gets moved along into the jejunum (I always thought that would make a great doggie name) of the small intestine; more absorption along the way, and finally the to the last part of the small intestine, the ileum. At this point everything will have been digested and most of the nutrients will have been absorbed, and now off to the large intestine for its next journey out into the world...life is good!
What is nonlinear absorption?
Nonlinear absorption is the kind of absorption that occurs when materials are illuminated by a strong laser source. It's name is nonlinear because this type of absorption is proportional to square of intensity and higher orders. Remember Beer's law. Briefly dI/dz=-alfa*I-beta*I2-gamma*I3.. beta and gamma are the nonlinear absorption terms!
What kind of tissues are villi?
Villi are finger-like projections in the small intestine that are covered in epithelial cells. These cells play a key role in the absorption of nutrients from digested food into the bloodstream.
How long is small intenstine?
The small intestine is typically around 6-7 meters (about 20-23 feet) long in adults. Its length allows for efficient absorption of nutrients and water from digested food.
What is purpose of the plica circularis and intestinal villi?
Depending on where the villi are located, they generally increase absorption surface area. (Such as the villi in the small intestine.)The villi is a kind of protection around the small intestine that makes the space bigger for more molecules to enter. You can not see the villi with a naked eye.It is shaped like little fingers pointing out from the intestine, if you have coeliac disease then they may become damaged and swollen.
