What structure in the digestive system absorbs water?
The large intestine is in charge of water reabsorption.
In which part of the digestive system does your food become a thick liquid?
Your food becomes a thick liquid in the stomach.
How is acid from the stomach neutralized?
By the production of bicarbonate (HCO3-) by the pancreas. This is secreted into the duodenum where it neutralizes the acidic chyme passed to it by the stomach. Some bacteria, such as Helicobacter pylori, produces nitrogen containing compounds such as ammonia (NH3) to neutralize stomach acid inside the stomach.
Can humans digest paper and what are the effects?
Hi,
Paper comes from trees which are made of cellulose; our bodies do NOT contain enzymes which can break down cellulose so therefore it can not be digested so it will come out the same it went in.
Eating paper shouldn't have any adverse side effects but the components which were used to 'make the paper' so to speak could have e.g. the bleaching agents used, etc.
What places does peristalsis not occur?
Long intestine. The food has already been digested and the nutrients are already absorbed in the long intestine, which means the process of digestion has been completed by this stage.
What is an organ in an animal that stores food in the process of digestion?
Type your ansThe human body is about 70% water (H2O), but the concentration varies at different locations (Brain 75%, Heart 75%, Lungs 86%, Muscle 75%, Liver 85%, Kidney 83%, Bone 22%, Blood 83%, Saliva 95%, Perspiration 95%).
65% of water is stored as intracellular water
35% of water is stored as extracellular waterwer here...
Which two food helps to prevent Rickets and scurvy?
Rickets is a bone disorder, commonly found in young children, in which the bone weakens and is prone to fracturs or breaks. Rickets often results from a severe form of malnutrition, in which the body is heavily deprived of vitamin D and calcium.
Anorexia is a mental disorder that manifests itself physically in which a person starves or eats very little and exercises excessivley in a desparate attempt to lose weight. Anorexia is a very dangerous eating disorder that leads to many health, physical, and mental problems, and can often be fatal.
Scurvy is a form of malnutrition in whcih the body suffer, often being prone to infection and tooth decay / tooth loss as a result of lack of nutrients. An easy way to counter this is to have a diet with citrus fruits and grains.

Is bile a solution which breaks down fats?
Bile that is produced by the liver and stored in the gall badder is necessary for the digestion on fats. The process is called emulsification, where fats are broken down small enough so that the lacteals in the small intestine can absorb them, then they are transported throughout the body by the lymphatic system.
What enzyme digests stains containing fats?
The name of the type of enzyme that digests stains containing fats is Lipase.
Is everything we eat completely digested and used by our bodies?
No, not everything we eat is completely digested and used by our bodies. The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients, but some components, like dietary fiber, are not fully digested and pass through the intestines largely intact. Additionally, individual variations in digestion, absorption, and metabolism can affect how efficiently nutrients are utilized. As a result, some nutrients may be lost or not absorbed fully.
Why are enzymes important to the digestive system?
if we didn't have enzymes as part of our digestive system, digestion would take a lot longer. Enzymes break food down into smaller pieces after mechanical digestion so that chemical digestion can work on smaller pieces of food. different types of enzymes break down different types of food substances. Amylase breaks down starches into simple sugars. Protease breaks down protein and there is one that breaks down fats and oils but i cant think of its name. hope i helped :)
What are the two processes of digestion?
two phases of the digestive process?
1.) to brreak down food
2.) absorb nutrience
How would you describe the immune system and muscular system?
Immune system:
The invulnerable framework is an arrangement of numerous natural structures and procedures inside of a living being that ensures against sickness. To work legitimately, an invulnerable framework must identify a wide mixture of operators, is known as pathogens and recognize them from the creature's own particular sound tissue.
Muscular system:
The solid framework is in charge of the development of the human body. Connected to the bones of the skeletal framework that make up generally a large portion of a man's body weight. Each of these muscles is a discrete organ developed of skeletal muscle tissue, veins, tendon.
What are the major body parts of chemical digestion?
the major part of the chemical digestion is the HCL (hydro chloric acid)
The way that the earthworm <annelida> adapts to
filtering food out of the soil is that it separates the waste and the food. It then eats the food and releases the waste! (ewwwwww)
Why doesn't saliva digest protein?
Carbohydrates are digested (hydrolyzed) by the enzyme amylase, found in saliva. However, saliva does not contain any protein-hydrolyzing enzymes. Enzymes are specific, meaning they will only hydrolyze the substrates (reactants) they were made to hydrolyze, so amylase will not hydrolyze proteins.
What part of the digestive system hold undigested material until it is eliminated?
== == The entire digestive system stores food in one way or another, but the main area where food "sits" for a while is the stomach. Then as the food is digested in the stomach, it goes into the "duodenum" where more of the food is digested and nutrients are sent into the blood stream and out to the body. As the food travels on through the small and large intestines eventually all the nutrients are extracted and the left over waste is what you get rid of with a bowel movement.
What are the main 5 organs in the digestive system?
The main organs of the digestive system are the mouth, stomach, liver, pancreas, small intestine, and large intestine. Secondary organs include the esophagus (food tube connecting mouth and stomach) and the gall bladder (concentrates and distributes the bile from the liver).
First of all it is the mouth, then the tongue, then the esophagus or food pipe. Then it is the stomach. After that, it is the liver which secretes bile juice, then the pancreas. After that, it passes to small intestine, then to large intestine and then finally to the rectum, then the anus, and then it is excreted.
