What is the length of time to pass food through stomach?
That is very much dependent on what sort of food it is... Koolaid will take ten minutes, while fettucine alfredo might pass thru you in four to six hours and pork chops with mashed potatoes and veggies will be seven to ten hours before finding its way out your back door...sorry, don't mean to be rude but that's the way the human body works.
An absorption factor is the measurement of a specific substance's ability to absorb radiant energy.
How does a dog's digestive system work?
Almost identically to your's. (but shorter intestines so doesn't absorb vegies well)
Why can't you swallow twice in a row?
It's because you have to produce new saliva to swallow. When you for example drink water, you have a immediate source of liquid, but with saliva the mouth can't swallow something that isn't there. The mouth also has to relax so the reflexes can function again, it's also called the voluntary reflex followed by an involuntary reflex.
What does it mean if you are excreting blood?

Why do chips taste sweet if you keep on chewing them?
The process of digestion begins in the mouth. As you chew foods, you release saliva into your mouth. Your saliva begins to convert starches into sugars before the food even gets to your stomach, so the starch in the chips begins to taste sweeter as you chew it. The flavor turns sweeter the longer you chew to mix in your saliva and cause the conversion to begin.
How does the length of the small intestine differ in various animals?
The length of small intestine depends upon type of mode of nutrition. carnivores have smaller and herbivores and omnivores have longer. they have hair-like projections called villi which increases the size of the intestine.
Lipase is the digestive enzyme that hydrolyzes fats. Fats are often large, complex molecules, and their digestion usually takes longer than that of simpler molecules like carbohydrates. Fats are also hydrophobic molecules, meaning that when they are placed in water, they clump together into large aggregates, reducing the amount of surface area exposed to water. The first step your body takes to digest fats is to break up these large clumps. Your body accomplishes this process using compounds called bile salts, which are produced by the liver. Bile salts dissolve the clumps of fat into tiny droplets.
The small droplets are often in the form of molecules called triglycerides, which is made up of a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. Fatty acids are a type of molecule known as a carboxylic acid, which has a long chain of carbon atoms. The next step of digestion is to break these triglycerides into simpler molecules. Your pancreas produces an enzyme called lipase, which hydrolyzes triglycerides into monoglycerides (one fatty acid attached to a glycerol molecule) and free fatty acids.
The monoglycerides and fatty acids remain dissolved in bile salts and form small droplets known as micelles. As the micelles travel through the digestive tract, they come into contact with the cells that line the digestive tract, and these cells absorb them through their cell membranes.
After intestinal cells have absorbed the monoglycerides and fatty acids, they reassemble them into triglycerides, the form of fat most commonly found inside your body. For transport, your body packages triglycerides together with protein and cholesterol into particles called chylomicrons. The intestinal cells then secrete chylomicrons into the lymph vessels, which eventually flow into the bloodstream. Once fats are in your bloodstream, your body can transport them to wherever it needs them, breaking them down for energy or storing them as fat.
Is too much gas in your stomach can cause hiccup?
No one is really sure what triggers hiccups. They are the results of the rib cage and diaphragm getting out of synch in breathing.
If you have bad gas does it mean you have a problem with your digestive system?
Not necessarily , it could just mean you have eaten something that produces an excess of gas. If the gas persists for more than a few hours then an over the counter gas medication might be worth a try. Ask your pharmacist for help choosing one.
More than a couple of days and it might be worth checking with your doctor for advise.
If you are only swallowing a little, there should be no harm done.
