Possible Answers: The epithelial cells lining the stomach have specialized defensive properties against stong acids
Mucous found within the stomach
The stomach's epithelial cells are defenseless against stong acids
The stomach has a pH of 7 when digestion isn't taking place
Correct answer: Mucous found within the stomach
Explanation: A layer of mucous forms between the epithelial cells of the stomach and the acid within the stomach. This mucous is secreted by mucous cells lining the stomach. When the mucous layer is broken down, certain complications can take place (e.g. stomach ulcers).
Protein is digested both in the stomach (by pepsin and trypsin) and in the small intestine.
CARBOHYDRATES, FAT and PROTEIN
Protein is firstly broken in the stomach through Chloridric acid. In the small intestine, the protein is absorbed into the blood stream through the inner wall of the small intestine.
Probably fats, carbohydrates, and protein.
Protein digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine of the human body.
Protein digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine. In the stomach, the acidic environment and enzyme pepsin begin breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. These peptides are further broken down into amino acids in the small intestine with the help of pancreatic enzymes.
small intestine
The small intestine absorbs digested food into the blood.
Do you mean where is food digested? In the Stomach and Small/Large Intestine. Thanks.
Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are fully digested in the small intestine.
the small intestine and large intestine.
Yes.
