cuz the stomach is a loser
true
Eighty percent of nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine. The other 20% occurs in the stomach tissues.
the walls of the stomach is alkaline and the food contain in the stomach is acidic.. it will not accept the nutrients to enter inside the stomach walls. the small intestine having villa in the walls and it ll absorb the nutrients in the food.
in the stomach
The small intestine, or the duodenum, is where most absorption of nutrients occur.
Nutrients in the esophagus mainly pass through to the stomach via peristalsis, which is the coordinated muscle contractions that push food downward. Absorption of nutrients does not occur in the esophagus.
digestiv system
In an individual, processes that could occur include digestion of food in the stomach, absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, and filtration of waste products in the kidneys.
In the small intestine
Food undergoes chemical changes in the stomach, where it gets broken down by stomach acids and enzymes, and in the small intestine, where further digestion and absorption of nutrients occur.
Secretion and absorption processes primarily occur in the digestive system. Secretion of digestive enzymes and acid takes place in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine, while absorption of nutrients occurs mainly in the small intestine through its lining known as villi.
