Aborbs excess water from chyme?
When all of the nutrients have been absorbed from the chyme, it enters the large intestine where the water is absorbed from it.
What Food in thin watery liquid form is absorbed by the body?
chyme
Food in thin watery liquid form that is absorbed by the body?
Chyme
When the chyme passes too quickly through the small intestines nutrients are what?
not absorbed
What would happen to some of the nutrients in chyme if the pancreas did not secrete its solution into the small intestine?
The nutrients in the chyme would not be absorbed by the villi and your body would not get the nutrients.
How does the intestins work?
Bile and pancreatic enzymes act upon chyme in the duodenum to break food up into there respective monomers. Those are then absorbed through the lining of the small intestine. The nutrients that can be absorbed are absorbed by the end of the small intestine. The large intestine primarily reabsorbs water and forms feces.
What is the intestines job.?
The function of the intestines is to digest food. After leaving the stomach, the chyme enters the small intestine. This then moves along the small intestine, by the process of peristalsis. The small intestine lies between the stomach and large intestine and consists of three segments the duodenum, jejunum and ileum respectively. The small intestine is responsible for the absorption of nutrients from the chyme. The large intestine, situated between the small intestine and anus consists of three segments as well, specifically the ascending colon, the transverse colon and the descending colon. The large intestine is largely responsible for the absorption of water from what's left of the chyme. The reason the water is absorbed at such a late stage is because the water aids the movement of the chyme from the stomach to the anus (from where it is excreted) by means of lubrication. Had water been absorbed at an earlier stage, the food may get stuck in our intestines or may be difficult to excrete.
Where is chyme expelled from the stomach into?
Chyme is expelled from the stomach into the duodenum. The duodenum is the first section of what will become the small intestine inside most vertebrates.
What does chyme contain much of that's absorbed in the large intestine?
Chyme is made up of partly digested food, hydrochloric acid, and a range of enzymes. Once it enters the small intestine it is mixed with bile to neutralize the stomach acid. I think the best answer may be water; everything else varies depending on the original food.
Absorbs excess water from chyme?
me lol just kiddin :)
When does food become chyme?
