Digestive System

Minor fiber digestion by bacteria goes on in the large intestine, and water is absorbed, but no major lipid/protein/carbohydrate digestion occurs. All of that goes on higher up in the system.

Once in the stomach, more chemical and mechanical digestion occurs. The crushing and breaking action of the stomachs contractions with HCl help not only break down food, but also lend a hand in converting pepsinogen to the enzyme pepsin. This enzyme in the stomach takes the roll of the chemical digester, and breaks certain peptide bonds, thereby breaking up proteins in the stomach. Partly digested food from the stomach now travels to the small intestine, through the pyloric sphincter, and is know as chyme.

copyright. all right reserved It doesn't the only kind of digestion is Chemical Digestion which is caused by your Stomach Acid. :) Mechanical digestion does occur in the stomach along with chemical digestion. The stomach squeezes the chyme and that is considered to be mechanical digestion.

Anorexia and other eating disorders can grealty affect the digestive system. Lack of food, lack of adequate nutrients, or events of bingeing and then purging can upset the digestive system. Some problems that may occur are....

*Stomach pains, upset stomach

*Heart burn

*Naseua

*Diarreha

*Gas, bloating

*Constipation

It helps taste the food, it helps move it around the mouth, and it helps the mouth swallow the food by pushing it back toward the throat.
the tongue plays the role of moving around the food in your mouth.!
it rolls the food into tiny balls
It pushes the food down your esophagus.
When the teeth chews and grind the food the tongue rolls the food into a bolus and makes it easier for the food to go down the oesophagus(food tube).
it helps to chew the food so that it can go down the esophagus
It manipulates food so that it can be masticated.
Produce saliva And make the food smoother and easier to digest.
The tongue helps to digest food by moving the food around into the shape of an oval (a ball called a "bolus") so that it is easier to swallow. It pushes the food around to different teeth and to allow the bolus to mix with saliva, and then pushes the food into the esophagus.It helps us to taste and select suitable foods (e.g. if it tastes horrible then you will spit it out so that your body does not need to digest the horrible food).

The human digestive system, also known as the gut, alimentary canal, or gastrointestinal tract, is a complex system that has a tubular structure. It has four important functions: ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination. It is helpful to think of it as a garden hose that has areas that are wider and other areas that are more narrow. In addition, it has places where there are gates called sphincters that hold the products, chyme, or feces, until it is time for them to move into the next chamber, or part of the hose. The end result is nutrients get broken down and absorbed into the body and any left over waste is eliminated from the body.

well digestive system is made up of tissue, ie., start from mouth to rectum. The food passes through, oesophagus,colon,stomach,etc., where the food get digested by the acids,agenst and enzymes secreted in the stomach/colon.

For the absorption of nutrients in the colon is done by villus.

Starch is a large macromolecule, so needs to be broken down into simple sugars which can be absorbed into the blood stream

the mouth lungs small intestine large intestine

Basically able to absorb, because the water is non-polar molecules, the way it isthrough cell osmosis, and osmosis is a special case of free diffusion, free diffusionrequires two conditions, one with a semi-permeable membrane (ie cell Is a living), the second is a concentration difference (and are more common to drink pure water, osmotic pressure is very small, relatively high intracellular fluid).

So, in general, as long as your digestive system is normal, each with water over the site can absorb moisture. But more important is the digestive tract, where the water will be converted into digestion, absorption through the intestinal villus cells, and thenthrough the capillaries into the blood cells, with the blood through the body.

1 - The very low pH (1-2) of the acid in the stomach is a very harsh environment, so most bacteria are killed off. The pH acts as a defense mechanism.

2 - The enzyme protease works optimally at a low pH. This means the environment in the stomach is ideal for the break down of proteins to take place.

The stomach is an organ of digestion. It has a sac-like shape and is located between the esophagus and the intestines.

There is a major organ group called the Digestive System, comprised of many sections including the alimentary canal in which is a storage bag, so to speak, called the stomach. The stomach receives food from the esophagus, adds various enzymes, churns the contents to mix, and the resultant chyme is then squeezed, so to speak, into the small intestine. As it is a part of the body, specialized in a particular function; yes, it is an organ, particularly as it uses muscles to churn and pass the product of its work (chyme) along to the next contributor to digestion, the small intestine.

The digestive system protcects your pecker from infection

The organ that produces and secretes enzymes that are essential for proper digestion is the pancreas. The enzymes that the pancreas produces and secretes are trypsinogen, , chymotrypsinogen, pancreatic lipase and amylase.

the villi are small finger-like creases on the small and large intestines.

they are used to increase the area for absorption.

The food is broken down into nutrients that is absorbed into the villi.

You might want to Check out ,by the way, the question with the Title 'In which part of The Digestive System does food get absorbed'

That has everything to do with Food getting absorbed and that stuff like Villi which is scientifical.

Stomach

Jaundice, gastic ulcer are some of the diseases that affect the digestive system. Jaundice is a water born disease which affects the lever and disgestive system. Complete rest,avoiding rich oil food, proper medication are the remedial measures. Whereas gastic ulcar may cause from rich fast food, excessive drinking which completely damages the lever vis a vis the digestive system.Avoid oily and fatty food,minimizing drink level and proper medicine helps to contain gastic ulcer.

Shows there is irritation of the stomach lining.

May be due to drugs (NSAIDs), Helicobacter pylori bacterial infection, smoking, alcohol, spicy foods, stress or a number of other medical causes.

Depending on the cause, your doctor might treat you with acid suppressing medications including omeprazole/lansoprazole/pantoprazole, ranitidine/cimetidine and perhaps some antibiotics if you have a bacterial infection.

the digestive tract refers to the GI or the gastrointestinal tract, which runs from the mouth to the anus. The digestive system refers to the organs related to the digestion of contents that are ingested, and how the foods are digested both mechanically and chemically.

The small intestine is considerably longer than the large intestine, but the large intestine is wider in diameter, from which it derives its name.

Yes. It is smaller in diameter than the large intestine but much longer.

The small intestine is longer than the large intestine but it is called small intestine because its diameter is smaller than that of the large intestine.

cerebral spinal fluid, happens in the small instestine which follows it to the cecum, where the large instestine secretes, roasted insulin by products, where they use enzymes and antacids to break down the food.

What happens is after you have chewed up all your food it will go down your gullet to your stomach where the food is broken down physically and has acids adds to it. Past your pancreas some of the food will go into one of your intestines (we have two) then into your blood as the rest will go to your other intestine and then down the toilet.

you should get medicine for stomachs cramps or just get medicine for your body. if that medicine sees wats happing it will fix it i prmise you can buy it in wallgreens or rideaid
