What else can I help you with?
Where are nutrients absorbed into the blood through the walls of?
It passes through the wall of the digestive system, then into the blood.
How does the digestive system help estract energy from food?
the digestive system breaks down the food, anything which is vital to the body is passed through the intestine walls, ( im not sure which, i believe it is small ). The nutrients are passed through the intestine walls and into the blood stream
How do nutrients in digestive system reach the blood stream?
Through millions of microscopic villosity placed on the walls of the small intestine.
What are the wave of muscle contractions that pushes food through the digestive system?
Smooth muscle in the walls of the digestive tract contract and form a movement called peristalsis.
Does absorption move food through the digestive system?
No absorbtion is when the vitimins and minerals from your food are absorbed (move through the Partially permiable membrane which is your get wall) into you blood steam. This is how your body gets the nutrients from your food. Food is moved through your digestive system by your gut pushing it along. Hope this helps!
What is a muscle that moves food through our digestive system or keeps our hearts beating?
The muscle responsible for moving food through the digestive system is the smooth muscle found in the walls of the gastrointestinal tract. The heart is primarily made up of cardiac muscle which is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.
What animal does not have a stomach?
Jellyfish and sea anemones do not have a stomach. They have a simple digestive system that allows them to directly absorb nutrients through their body walls.
The rhythmic contraction responsible for propelling food through the digestive tract are called?
The rhythmic contractions responsible for propelling food through the digestive tract are called peristalsis. This involuntary process involves the coordinated contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle in the walls of the digestive organs, which helps move food along from the esophagus to the stomach and through the intestines. Peristalsis is essential for the proper functioning of the digestive system.
Rhythm like movement of the muscle in the walls of the GI tract?
The rhythmic movement of muscles in the walls of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is called peristalsis. It helps propel food and nutrients through the digestive system by contracting and relaxing muscles in a coordinated manner. This movement is essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Compare and contrast the role of the villi in the digestive system with the role of the alveoli in the respiratory system?
they are very similar, both have: thin walls through which particles can pass consist of tiny projections occurs in huge numbers
How does the left side of the digestive system function in processing and absorbing nutrients from food?
The left side of the digestive system, including the stomach and small intestine, breaks down food into smaller molecules through the process of digestion. Nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. This allows the body to use the nutrients for energy and other functions.
Why does your body need peristalsis?
Peristalsis is the coordinated muscle contractions that help move food through the digestive tract. It is essential for mixing food with digestive enzymes, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste from the body. Without peristalsis, food would not move effectively through the digestive system, leading to digestive issues and potential blockages.
