Is chyme a slow moving or fast moving liquid?

Chyme is a semi-fluid mass of partially digested food and digestive juices that moves slowly through the small intestine to facilitate nutrient absorption. It is not fast-moving like the contents of the stomach.


What organic molecule stays in the stomach the longest?

Proteins tend to stay in the stomach the longest compared to other organic molecules because they require more time to break down due to their complex structure. This allows proteins to be slowly digested and absorbed in the stomach over a longer period of time.

Ethanol is the commonly consumed form of alcohol. Methanol, or wood alcohol, can also be consumed, but is digested slowly and converted to formaldehyde and can cause blindness and death. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol) Warning: do not consume pure ethanol, and do not drink denatured alcohol or alcohol used for fuel because it's toxic and can cause blindness or death.


Which part does the body absorb broken down food particles?

Food ingested enters oesophagus, from here it enters stomach (temporary storage site of food), from here food is slowly propelled forward toward small intestine and then to large intestine. It is in the intestines where the villi absorb all main nutrients and at the end of large intestine is anus where all waste materials are stored before being excreted.

Having food in your stomach keeps alcohol from being absorbed?

Having food in your stomach can slow down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream, as it takes longer for the alcohol to reach your small intestine where most absorption occurs. However, it does not prevent alcohol absorption entirely and having food in your stomach does not guarantee you will not get intoxicated. Drinking in moderation is the best way to stay safe when consuming alcohol.

Where does the liquid that leaves the stomach go?

Once it leaves the stomach, the partially digested contents (technical term - "chyme") enter the small intestine at the duodenum. As the chyme passes through the small intestine, further digestion takes place, as well as the absorption of useful nutrients.


How come when I am full I'm fat but when I am hungry I am thin?

Food, like all other matter in the universe, takes up space. When you eat food, the stomach expands to accommodate the space that the food takes up. The stomach slowly empties into the small intestine, which causes the stomach to slowly return to the size it was when you were hungry.

What takes place in the small intestine?

Bolus (masticated food) enters the stomach through the esophagus via the esophageal sphincter. The stomach releases proteases (protein-digesting enzymes such as pepsin) and hydrochloric acid, which kills or inhibits bacteria and provides the acidic pH of two for the proteases to work. Food is churned by the stomach through muscular contractions of the wall called peristalsis - reducing the volume of the fundus, before looping around the fundus[3] and the body of stomach as the boluses are converted into chyme (partially digested food). Chyme slowly passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum of the small intestine, where the extraction of nutrients begins. Depending on the quantity and contents of the meal, the stomach will digest the food into chyme anywhere between forty minutes and a few hours. The average human stomach can comfortably hold about a litre of food
