How do the large intestines help the small intestines?
Every solid swallowed food, that was not digested by the time it reaches the end of the small intestine; is collected in the large intestine, which gets some water to help it pass through to the colon and out the body.
What do you do when your mum knows you have a poop fetish?
Please don't act out this fetish -- and if you have, stop. Your mum is probably worried that you'll get sick -- or worse. This fetish (the fancy word for it is "coprophilia") is pretty risky, since feces consist of all the things your body doesn't want, including stuff that can make you very sick. So it's very important that your mum knows that you are a responsible person.
She may want you to talk to a mental health professional. Don't argue, but you should choose the counselor. Don't let her make the choice for you. Explain to her that counseling only works if the client (you) is comfortable with the counselor. It's always a good idea to chat with two or three different counselors to find one you are comfortable with.
What does the small intestine do to the food after it passes through the stomach?
Once food is let into the small intestine, through a sphincter (valve) from the stomach, a process called peristalsis (the contracting and relaxing of muscles around the intestine) causes undigested food to be squeezed through the incredibly, long length of the small intestine (so named for its width, not length!).
During the food's journey, nutrients that have not been absorbed in the stomach are slowly absorbed through the small intestine's lining, into the tiny capillaries which surround the winding tube, thus allowing nutrient uptake into the blood and circulatory system.
Hence the huge length yet relatively thin form of the small intestine. This shape allows a maximum of surface area to allow undigested food to come in contact with the intestine's membrane.
It is mostly nutrients from food, already partially digested in the stomach, which the s. intestine absorbs, though water is also importantly transferred to the circulatory system at this stage of digestion. The large intestine, along with the rectum, however, are responsible for the major extraction of remaining water.
It is interesting to note that the appendix is a part (or adjunct) of the small intestine. Our herbivorous (plant eating) mammalian cousins have much longer appendixes, which serve a a digestion area for fibrous, plant materials. Herbivore's appendixes contain many bacteria which help to digest foods too fibrous for (near-appendixless), humans! The Koala needs an appendix of comparable length to the entire human small intestine, in order to digest Eucalyptus leaves!
What can you give a five week baby for constipation?
A little prune juice will help. Only a couple of spoonfulls. If your baby takes a bottle, just mix it into the formula. Don't give the baby any medicine.
the PH of stomach is 1-3, so the acidity of stomach is too strong for basic drug(usually weak base). BH++ H2O----B+H3O+, according to this equation, [H3O+] is too high in the stomach, so the reation is more easier to go from right to left, resulting in the increasing number of BH+ in the stomach.
Past 7 months your period is every 6 weeks only with no real period besides spotting?
It is common to experience changes in your menstrual cycle. Stress and hormonal changes can effect your cycle. Schedule a visit with your physician to make sure there are no other causes.
Motility is the movement of food through the digestive system by contracting muscles within the digestive tract. There are two types of motility. Peristalsis, which is weak contraction force of the small intestine that moves chyme along the small intestine. It is mainly due to a pressure difference between the pyloric (beginning of small intestine) and the large intestine. Segmentation is the major contraction force that moves chyme along the gastrointestinal tract. It is muscular contraction of the lumen, which occurs at different parts of the small intestine.
Can you use salt for hemorrhoids?
No need to use salt. The safest option is that just to use clean water and leave it
at that.
Depends on whether it's from the vagina or from the rectum.
Why is your Yorkie's rectum out?
If intestines are protruding through his rectum, it is an emergency. Get him to the vet as quickly as possible. This can be a symptom of severe illness, but regardless of the cause it can result in death of some of the tissue of the intestines which can eventually kill the dog.
What route does glucose take from your small intestine to your arm muscle cells?
glucose travel from small intestine to arms by hepatic portal vein
What is fat globules in stool?
It is droplets of fat contained in the stool. A fecal fat test shows how many fat globules are in the stool.
Do they use pig intestines to make sausages?
Traditionally the intestines are used as sausage skins. However it is mostly synthetic skin used these days.
What is the worlds largest human bowel movement?
This is not something that is measured. The descending colon usually measures in the area of 12 inches but varies for every individual. If you add the length of the transverse
colon it is possible another 18 inches could be evacuated. The action of the bowel would not allow this all to come out unbroken.
The answers to your question will always remain unverified.
