Digestive System

The rest of the food that your not using comes out the but.(anus)

there are 5 primary parts of the digestive tract. it starts with the mouth, then goes through the esophagus, then into the stomach which leads to the small intestine then into the large intestine then to the rectum

Remember that "indigestion" is a noun. You could say something like: "The tacos gave him indigestion" or "Indigestion can be caused by gulping food". It's frequently used in the objective case.

The urinary and digestive systems are not connected in a single lumen. The digestive system ends with the anus.

The digestive system PROCESSESES all matter that is put into it but it does not TRANSPORT nutrients, medication or bad matter through out the human body. The circulatory or blood system receives the filtered product and takes them to the necessary areas of the body that needs the nutrients, oxygen, water, medications and even the "baddies" like too much cholesterol or other fats or alcohol or other negative matter.

THE end product of lipolysis are free fatty acids and glycerlol.

The liver processes and stores nutrients as well as producing bile. The liver is not part of the digestive or alimentary tract, but is a critical digestive organ.

It does not take a fricken year to digest a rat. My 7 foot boa digests and poops out a jumbo rat in less than a week.

When pepsinogen is mixed with hydrochloric acid, it makes pepsin. Pepsin is the enzyme that begins the digestion of proteins in stomach.

The larynx is only the passageway for air, as it is covered by the epiglottis to prevent food from entering it during swallowing. The pharynx, however, serves as a passageway for both food and air.

Glycogen is broken down in the blood by the help of glucagon. It is then transferred into the cells by insulin.

After being broken up in the stomach, the chyme (partially digested food after exiting the stomach) is absorbed into tiny hairs in the small and large intestines called villi. Hope this helps :)

"Actually the muscles around your digestive tract help move food through it."

The rhythmic movement of these muscles is technically called peristalsis.

Eat a mixture of food to balance out your digestive system, and to satisfy the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. This food includes: fruit, meat, veg, dairy, sugar and small amount of salt, even though most foods contain natural salt.

As indigestion is caused by acid, the pH value is around 2-4.

No, not in the normal process of digestion.

proteins

- The inner walls of the small intestine have thousands of finger-like outgrowths called villi (singular villus). The villi increase the surface area for absorption of the digested food. Each villus has a network of thin and small blood vessels close to its surface. The surface of the villi absorbs the digested food materials. The absorbed substances are transported via the blood vessels to different organs of the body where they are used to build complex substances such as the proteins required by our body. - As the question goes, what is being absorbed depends upon the food that is being digested, for example * carbohydrates are degraded into simple sugars (e.g., glucose). In the small intestine pancreatic amylase breaks down carbohydrates into oligosaccharides. Brush border enzymes take over from there. The most important brush border enzymes are dextrinase and glucoamylase which further break down oligosaccharides. Other brush border enzymes are maltase, sucrase and lactase.The Small Intestine is the most important part of digestion. - Similarly if it is proteins then it is broken down in to amino acids by a complex process before it enters the blood stream, the reason for this is because only smaller components are able to enter the villi for absorption. rest is taken care in the large intestine as undigested food. dont want to go into that just to stay with the question.

The oesophagus is the tube that takes swallowed food from the mouth to the stomach.

Digestion

Digestion is the process through which food is broken down in one's digestive system. This is done by mechanical means and the release of enzymes in the alimentary canal. The food must be broken into smaller parts or substance so that the body can utilize them.

Products of carbohydrate digestion (simple sugars) and products of protein digestion (amino acids) move through brush border cells, diffuse through the interstitial fluids inside the villus, then enter a capillary. Products of fat digestion (triglycerides) also cross the brush border cell and interstitial fluid, but they enter lymph vessels, which eventually carry them to the blood.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have severe acid reflex, so I can not eat before going to bed. My doctor tells me that I should not eat for 3 hours before going to bed, so I would say any solid foods are gonna take somewhere around 3 hours. Liquids however are absorbed much more rapidly. I'm not sure if ice cream would be considered a liquid or not given that it melts; it probably would depend on what type and if there are solid particles in it.

Bile serves two functions: to neutralise chyme. This helps digestion, as it provides an optimum pH for enzymes to act on the partially digested food. It also emulsifies fats, which too aids the enzymes.
