So the intestine can contract and son the food passed through the gut can pass on
They have more mitochondria
glucose travel from small intestine to arms by hepatic portal vein
Yes, this is true.
After being absorbed in the small intestine, glucose enters the bloodstream and is transported to the liver. The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream as needed, and it travels to the leg muscle cells through the circulatory system. Once in the muscle cell, glucose is used as an energy source through cellular respiration.
smooth muscle pushes food through the intestine and smooth muscle is a involuntary muscle
The stomach is characterized by a thicker mucosal layer with gastric pits and glands that secrete acid and enzymes, while the intestine has a thinner mucosa with villi and microvilli for increased surface area and absorption. The stomach contains parietal cells and chief cells, whereas the intestine has absorptive enterocytes and goblet cells for mucus secretion. Additionally, the stomach has a distinct muscularis layer with three muscle layers (oblique, circular, and longitudinal), while the intestine has two muscle layers (circular and longitudinal). Lastly, the presence of Peyer's patches in the ileum of the intestine is another distinguishing feature absent in the stomach.
move everything along
Ileocecal valve
it contracts rhythmically
muscle cells...
The iron-containing protein in muscle cells that controls oxygen uptake from red blood cells is called myoglobin. Myoglobin helps muscles store and release oxygen as needed during muscle contraction.
The answer is small intestine.
