What digestive system structure has villi?
Villi belong primarily to the small intestine of the gut.
It is here that most of the food needs to be absorbed into the body proper for use by it. However, absorption best occurs across a very large surface area where food molecules are in direct contact with the walls of the lining through which they must pass for the body's use.
Villi are countless long projections of the intestinal wall [somewhat like thick hairs, but made of body tissue itself] projecting into the intestine itself that effectively create a surface area of the intestinal wall that is many times greater than it would otherwise be if the wall was sheer and the projecting villi did not exist.
In this way, nutrients find their way far more efficiently into the body proper for use.
Why does it take so long to digest soda?
because of all the things in it. Like caffeine the sugar and preservatives etc. your body has to take out all of the "waste" and that's why it takes forever unlike water which normally goes right through you if you're not dehydrated.
Soda takes very little time to go through your digestive system because it has very little substance to it. It is almost completely water, sugar (carbohydrates), and flavorings and color.

How long is the food in the digestive system?
It depends on the type of food you are eating and what is in it. Carbohydrates are processed fairly quickly but fats and proteins can take several hours to be digested.
That is a reason people feel that when trying to lose weight, you should eat less carbohydrate foods (bread, cakes, cookies, fruits, pulpy vegetables) and eat more food with fat and protein such as fish, chicken,meats)
Is the major role of the stomach digestion?
No. The stomach absorbs no food, but rather breaks it down into smaller pieces via mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. Long story short, once it travels into the jejunum and the ileum (aka the small intestine) then nutrients are absorbed.

How are parasitic flukes able to live when they no longer posses a well developed digestive system?
Parasitic flatowms typically live in the digestive system. Surrounded by pre-digested nutrients, they can easily absorb basic nutrients that they need to maintain homeostasis. In other words, they are borrowing the host's digestive system.
