Why are goblet cells higher in the large intestine?
Goblet cells create mucus. The entire gastrointestinal tract has the same four layers; mucosa, submucoa, muscularis, and serosa. The important function of the goblet cells, which are in the mucosa layer is to provide mucus so that products can move along the gastrointestinal tract from one end to the other smoothly by providing lubrication.
facilitates passage of material through the bowel
How does the large intestine look different from small intestine?
The small intestine is longer than the large intestine, although it has a smaller width. The small intestine is between the the stomach and and the large intestine. The large intestine is the last part of the digestive system.
The Large intestine absorbs water, nutrients and salts. The small intestine absorbs carbohydrates, protein, fats, minerals and vitamins.
Small intestine has finger-like projections (called villi) while these are absent in large intestine.
ANS2:Small intestine helps in digestion and absorption of food while large intestine helps in reabsorption of food and elimination of wastes. ANS3:The small intestine is only small in its diameter. In herbivores, the small intestine may be around ten times longer than the large intestine. The small intestine is where the villi-covered walls absorb nutrients from the digested food. Once the nutrients are removed, the waste enters the large intestine where the water is removed and the waste is consolidated. The origin of the following quote is linked:The small intestine in adults is a long and narrow tube about 7 meters (23 feet) long. The large intestine is so called because it is wide in diameter. However, it is shorter than the small intestine - only about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long.
The small intestine is responsible for nutrient uptake, the large intestine is responsible for fluid uptake.
Small intestine contains digest food and absorbs the nutrients from it. The large intestine contains food waste.
The small intestine is longer than the large intestine, but it has a smaller width than the large intestine.
The inside of the small intestine is covered in villi (making the interior look bumpy), but the inside of the large intestine is smooth.
the small intestine finishes the brake down of the substance you consume and has villi which absorb simple nutrients such as amino acids, simple sugars and fatty acids. Then they are picked up by capillaries in the villi and transported throughout the body. On the other hand, the large intestine just transport the waste to the rectum and absorbs water.
well, the small intestine breaks down food and passes the nutrient to the blood vessels and the large intestine eliminates all the waste
The majority of digestion takes place in the small intestine, while the large intestine absorbs water from the remaining indigestible food and sends it out of the body.
Also, the small intestine is longer, but has a thinner diameter than the large intestine, which is shorter but wider.
What are the major muscles of the muscular system?
Femour muscle,calf mucle,
=====================================================
The major muscles of the body would be:
A) Anterior Upper Body:
- Pectoralis Major (involved with shoulder horizontal adduction and internal rotation)
- Deltoid Anterior, Middle and Posterior Fibers (shoulder flexion, abduction , horizontal abduction respectively)
- Rectus Abdominal (abs) (Flexion of the trunk)
- Oblique Muscles (lateral rotation of the trunk and pelvis)
B) Posterior Upper Body:
- Latismuss Dorsi (shoulder extension and external rotation)
- Trapezius (Upper fibers raises the scapula upwards also involves with movement of the neck, while middle and lower fibers retract it)
C) Arms:
- Biceps brachii (forearm flexion and supination, aids in shoulder flexion thru long head)
- Triceps brachii (elbow extension)
- Wrist Flexors and extensors
D) Pelvis and Hips:
- Glutues Maximus ( Hip Extension)
- Iliopsoas (Hip Flexion)
- Tensor Fascia lata , Glutues Medius and Minus (Hip Abduction, Stabilize body during walking)
- Hip Adductors
- Rectus femoris and Quadriceps (Knee Extension, Rectus Femoris aids in Hip Flexion)
- Hamstrings (Knee Flexion, Biceps Femoris aids in Hip Extension)
- Calf Muscles (mainly Gastrocnemius involved in ankle planter flexion)
although there are many other skeletal muscles with major functions (e.g Rotator cuff: stabilize shoulder joint , and Anconeus which stabilize elbow joint.. and many more) these ones above are considered the major muscles of the body by many

What are the finger-like projections in the intestines?
The finger-like projections in the small intestines are called villi & they are present in the small intestine to increase the surface area of the intestinal wall. A greater surface area allows the intestines to absorb more nutrients from the digested food into the blood stream. Villi are prominent in the small intestines because this is where majority of the absorption of nutrients occur. Villi also play a small role in the digestion of food.

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).
