The organ that mixes food with digestive juices is the stomach. It uses strong muscular contractions to churn the food, combining it with gastric juices that contain enzymes and acids, facilitating the breakdown of food into a semi-liquid substance called chyme. This process is essential for digestion and prepares the food for further breakdown and absorption in the intestines.
What else can I help you with?
What movement continually mixes the food with digestive juices?
Segmentation is a muscle action that mixes chyme with digestive juices, while Peristalsis is a muscle action that moves food through the digestive system.
What organ is a stretchy muscular sac that holds food?
The stomach is a stretchy muscular sac that holds food where it mixes with digestive juices. It plays a key role in the digestion process by breaking down food into smaller particles that can be absorbed by the body.
What organ of the digestive system churns the food mixing it with gastric juices?
Small intestine
What muscular organ squeezes food into chyme?
The stomach mixes food, swallowed saliva, and gastric juices into a substance called chyme.
What is the muscle action that mixes chyme with digestive juices while another muscular action that moves food through the digestive system?
The muscle action that mixes chyme with digestive juices throughout the digestive system is called Peristalsis. Peristalsis are wave-like of contractions and expansions of muscles. The muscles help to move the bolus (food) through the digestive tract. Peristalsis are located all over the digestive tract.
What organ of the digestive system mashes food and mixes it with acid?
The small intestine. The mouth mashes food with the teeth and mixes it with saliva which also includes some acid compounds.
Define segmentation as in digestive system?
Segmentation in the digestive tract mixes food with digestive juices and increases the rate of absorption by repeatedly moving different parts of the food mass over the intestinal wall.
Which organ does food mix with hydrochloric acid?
Food mixes with hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The stomach releases hydrochloric acid to help break down and digest food as part of the digestive process.
What is a muscular organ that mixes and stores food?
The stomach because it stores and mixes food. Stomach- pouch shaped organ that has gastric juice, and stores and mixes food.
What organs mashes food with digestive juices?
The stomach is the primary organ that mashes food with digestive juices. It uses muscular contractions to mix and break down food, while gastric juices containing hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes further aid in the process. This combination helps to turn food into a semi-liquid substance called chyme, which is then gradually released into the small intestine for further digestion and nutrient absorption.
How do they digest food?
The digestive juices
What is the large pear shaped bag in the upper part of your belly that mix the swallowed food with digestive juices?
The large pear-shaped bag in the upper part of the belly is called the stomach. It mixes swallowed food with digestive juices such as enzymes and acids to break down food particles into smaller molecules for absorption in the intestines.
