What slows intestinal motility and causes the pyloric sphincter to contract?
the pyloric sphincter regulates the speed at which the chyme (mixture of food from stomach) can enter into the small intestine to be digested. The pyloric sphincter opens and closes according to the acidity of the chyme.
What slows down the large intestine?
peristalsis slows down the large intestante
What might be the advantage of the folds and coils of the small intestines?
slows down the passage of the food slomg the intestines, and afford an increased surface for absorption. Increase the surface area for the intestines to increase absorption of nutrients
What slows down in the large intestine?
Mr davies is my science teacher !
What affects how fast alcohol is absorbed into the body?
Alcohol is absorbed primarily in the intestines. Therefore, keeping alcohol in the stomach (by eating food) slows its release into the intestines and therefore, its absorption into the blood stream.
Is bloating normal after general anesthesia?
General anesthesia stops or significantly slows the movement of your intestines. As the anesthesia wears off, the trapped gas or bowel begin to move through the intestines again. Occasionally this can be a very painful process. So just know that this is a common feeling after general anesthesia.
How do opiates cause constipation?
Most opiates are agonists of the mu opiod receptors. These are found both in the brain and in the gut. When they activate the receptors in the gut, it causes paralysis of the intestines and slows down peristalsis.
How does loperamide work?
The drug loperamide, found in Imodium A-D, for example, slows the passage of stools through the intestines. This allows more time for water and salts in the stools to be absorbed back into the body.
Polar bears digestive system?
The polar bear's digestive system is much like the digestive system of other mammals. Food is taken into the mouth and swallowed. Digestion begins in the stomach and is continued through the small and large intestines. Any waste is excreted when digestion is complete.
When you stomach is full do it takes longer period of time for alcohol to move into the bloodstream?
Yes, when your stomach is full, it takes longer for alcohol to enter the bloodstream. Food slows the absorption of alcohol by keeping it in the stomach longer, allowing time for the alcohol to be metabolized before it reaches the intestines, where absorption occurs more rapidly. This can result in a more gradual onset of intoxication compared to drinking on an empty stomach.
Do pregnant women have diarrhea?
Of course it's possible for a pregnant woman to have diarrhea; however, it is more common for a pregnant woman to suffer from constipation, as the child and uterus grow and put pressure on her intestines and slows her digestive system.
