Peristalsis in the small intestine is the function of?

1- progression of the chyme toward the ileocecal valve

2- spread out the chyme along the intestinal mucosa

as the chyme enters the intestines and elicits peristalsis the later spread the chyme along the intestine and this process intensifies as additional chyme enters the duodenum . on reaching the ileocecal valve , the chyme sometimes blocked for several hour until the person eats another meal, at that time agastroileal intensifies peristalsis in the ileum and force the remaining chyme

What is the big intestines job in the digestive system?

The Large Intestine (or Colon) is the preffered name of the "big intestine" and is ironically shorter than the small intestine (large=2.5m small=7m after death but a little shorter in life). The colon can be looked at in 4 sections the Ascending Colon, Transverse Colon, Descending Colon, and Sigmoid Colon. All these parts have roughly the same function, they absorb water from the waste material as well as hold the fecease until it ready to be released (to an extent). Along the full length of the colon are three muscles called the Teniae Coli which are shorter than the colon itself casuing ot to bunch up and exagerating the bulged effect often seen (the individual bulges are called Haustra). Basically the "big" intestine is more commonly reffered to as the Colon and its function is to absorb water (not nutrients) from the waste.

What is bright red blood in stools?

Bright red blood in the stools is a sign of bleeding. The most common cause of bright red blood is hemorrhoids or irritation. Constipation can cause small tears. Dark red blood or large amounts of blood would indicate need to see a doctor.

What are chances of hernia popping through mesh after incisional hernia repair?

If you follow the advice of the doctors and stay within the regimen they set then there is very a small chance.

If you go skydiving, snowboarding and doing gymnastics then your chances are greatly increased.

What causes intermittant white poo in a child?

This could be a harmless remnant of something the child ate. However, this could also be indicative of an intestinal parasite, such as pinworm or tapeworm. I recommend that you contact a physician if you can not resolve this.

Where can you find large intestine?

In the abdominal cavity. It connects to the small intestine in the lower right of the abdominal area, goes up (ascending colon), across, down descending colon), across (transverse colon), and down (sigmoid colon) to the rectum and anus.

How can you tell if you fart in space?

Yes you can. But You gone float up with it.

What liquid helps soften food as you chew it?

Saliva in the mouth helps to soften food as you chew it. Saliva helps begin the breakdown of foods.

What would happen if most of the small intestine is removed?

You may not be able to absorb as many nutrients, as you would have.

The small intestine is responsible for the majority of absorption of nutrients. The specific effects of removing half depends on which part is removed. The small intestine is considered to be of 3 parts, the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. Losing the jejunum would be particularly disastrous, but losing any half would run you a serious risk of malnutrition.

Other than a shortened digestive process in general (such as less time to absorb fats or water), absorption is generally section-specific. Most absorption occurs in the jejunum, which makes up most of the first half of the small intestine. (Exceptions to this are Iron and B12).

Almost 4 year old boy uses the potty to pee but will ask for a pull up to poop in and not poop in the potty even though that is where he tells you it is supposed to go?

if your son is not pooping on the potty then you tell him that he needs to if he asks for a pull-up don't give it to him and if he wears pull-ups get him underwear if he poops in them let him stay in the dirty underwear for about 5-10 minutes so he can understand that pooping in his pants isn't comfortable and then he will go on the potty

Does activia make you fart?

A number of products contain extra fiber, which will cause you to go to the bathroom more frequently. But in the case of Activia, it contains what are called "probiotics," and some people seem to have a bad reaction to them. One of the side effects can be diarrhea.

However, not everyone has that reaction, and some people have no problem eating this kind of yoghurt. If you find that you are experiencing such side effects as diarrhea, you should stop eating Activia, since it does not agree with you.

Can being on your period make you constipated?

Yes! This can be caused by hormones (especially the higher levels of progesterone you have during your period). It happens to me all the time. It's very normal. You can drink more water and eat more fiber. Just remember to increase fiber intake gradually. And also things like Advil can help. I also like to use a heating pad to help ease some of the discomfort.

Two glands that secrete digestive enzymes into the first part of the small intestine?

The human digestion process starts with the salivary glands, which are located in the mouth. Saliva breaking down the chemicals in the food we eat is referred to as chemical digestion.

Why is toilet paper clean after bowel movement?

Diet related - Occurs for me when I include a small portion of legumes in one of my daily meals on most days. A recent change in my diet is to include 2 teaspoons of coconut oil with my morning egg on toast. This also seems to have the same effect. I eat very little processed food and have reduced processed polyunsaturated oils in my diet. Vegetables or salad always included with mail meals.

How many farts do you have in your life?

Well, the average is about 14 a day, so if you live 75 years it's around 383250 farts in your life, give or take. Quite a lot.

Story 1) I fart about 3 times during my morning poop, once or twice during breakfast (depending on how many people are at the table with me), a few times between meals, I try not to fart during lunch cause i usually eat with other people but i will go to the bathroom right after or during lunch to relieve myself, then maybe once during dinner depending on what we eat (beans make me fart a little more than other things) and a few more before i go to bed. I'm sure I involuntarily fart while I am sleeping as well. So if you add that up you get at least 10 that i know of a day. So probably about 380,000 in my life. It would be more if I eat a lot of beans.

So it depends on your eating habits as well as how healthy you are. The less healthy you are the more you will fart. Some farts that you let out will be gradual and you will not notice cause they will be silent and have no smell.

Story 2) Hi, I'm Drake. Not the big singer Drake (aubrey). Haha.

Let me tell you how many times a day I fart.

When i wake up. Take a crap, I fart about once or twice. When I take my shower its usually once, (3) When im eating breakfast i get gassy easly. So, maybe 3 times a day. (6 farts so far) when im in the car alone ill fart to myself (7-8 times) At work ill usually fart alone, or with my buds. I fart about 3 times at work (10 farts) At lunch all let one go (11 farts) On the way home ill let one slide. At lunch if there's beans or chili i'll fart about 2 times. (13 now) and when i got to sleep I'll let one go! So about 14 or 15 times a day I'll fart!

So if you do live to 100 you'll fart. So i fart 1500 times a year (:

(Stories post little relevance to the question but can be taken for humor value.)

Why the large intestine is called the large intestine?

the small intestine is called so because of its thickness not length . therefore the large intestine is called so because it is fat.

What are the two parts of the small intestine in a frog?

The two parts are the small intestine and the thin intestine

Why does enzymes stop working after 40 degrees?

Roughly 40 degrees celsius - in general. It depends on what type of enzyme you are reacting; catalase etc. hope this helps people. bye.

Should someone with no large intestine drink more or less water?

yes. fluids are most important when one has diarrhea due to possible dehydration.

How is the Golgi apparatus similar to the large intestines?

The large intestine primarily operates to reduce water concentration in waste. The intestine is somewhat like the Golgi body in that it is folded over numerous times to increase surface area. In the Golgi, this allows for signaling with enzymes and other cellular proteins. In the intestine, it allows for increased access to digestive absorption.

Parts of the small intestine and their function?

Small intestine consists of three main parts.

  1. Duodenum(20-25cm long)
  2. jejunum(2.4m long,covers 2/5th of intestine)
  3. ileum(lower2/5th os small intestine from jejunum)
Function of Duodenum:

It helps in digestion of food.the acidity of chyme in intestine stimulates the release of secretions from pancreas and liver in duodenum along with the secretions of duodenal cells.

  1. pancrease releases pancreatic juice which contains following enzymes,
  • Amylopepsin:

it digests starch into maltose

  • Lipase:

it hydrolyzes a smalls amount of fats into fatty acid and glycerol.

  • Trypsin:

it spilts proteins into peptones and polypeptides.

  • presence of NaHCO3:

it neutralizes the acidity of chyme

2.liver secretes bile which is a green watery fluid.It contains no enzymes.It contains BILE SALTS which helps in Emulsification

"Emulsification is the coversion of fatty acids

into diffuseable globular droplets

that can be absorbed onto the blood"

3.Duodenal cells release mucus.

Function Of Jejunum:

The undigested food which escapes from duodenum to jejunum is digested by a group of following enzymes present in jejunum.

  • Aminopeptidase:

It converts polypeptides into dipeptides

  • Erypsin:

It digest dipeptides into Amino acids

  • Maltose:

It digests maltose into glucose.

  • Lactase:

It digests lactose into glucoes and galactose.

  • Lipase:

coverts fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

Function Of Ileum:All digested food is absorbed by ileum.It contains microscopic Villi which are responsible of assimilation of food.
  • All simple sugars and proteins in the form of Amino acids are absorbed by diffusion or active transport into the capillaries via villi.
  • Some quantity of fatty acid and glycerol are absorbed in blood capillaries.however,large portion of them enter the epithelial cells of villi,where they recombine into fats.they,then enter into lacteal to form Lipo-protein and enters the blood stream via thoracic lymphatic duct.
Ileocolic Sphincter:

At the end of ileum,there is an ileocolic sphincter that opens and closes at time to allow the enterence of undigested food onto the caecum of large intestine.
