In what structures do amylase chemically digest food?
I am sorry. I don't know exactly what your question is asking but I do know that our stomach has many acids that help us digest food and our stomach is lined with mucus so the acids can't eat our stomach. Hope this helps! :)
Egestion of undigested food occurs in the large intestine or colon. This is where water is absorbed from the remaining material, forming feces which are then eliminated from the body through the rectum and anus.

What is the normal weight of a BM?
There is no "normal" since the size and age of the person would make a big difference as well as the eating habits and health of the person. Frequency of elimination and other variables will change the size of each individual BM from person to person and from time to time. Weight would also be affected by the amount of water in the stool. Some adults have very big stools and some have small stools, especially if they don't eat enough fiber in their diet.
Where does the digestion of most macromolecules occur?
In the small intestines , mostly in the duodenum part of it
What foods are better tolerated by a young adult with Spina Bifida gastrointestinal problems?
Any non-acidic, mild foods would be better tolerated. But you do of course need a certain amount of Vitamin C in your diet, so it would be helpful to consult your physician about your dietary needs.
bile is stored in the gall bladder. it is produced in the liver.
because the mouth has saliva glandand mix up with water, mucus and the enzymes amylase
What are the nerve supply and blood supply of the digestive system?
name the whole arteries which supply blood to whole alimentery canal
Echinoderms have what type of digestive system?
Some of them are predators, most starfish are, they eat slow moving creatures like barnacles or clams
A few filter feed
And some eat algae scraped off of rocks
Hope that helped
The Oral Cavity has limited digestion of carbohydrates and lipids. It also has teeth that chew food into smaller pieces to give larger surface area for enzymes to work.
The Tongue shows secretion of mucins and the enzyme lingual lipase.
The parotid salivary glands produce a serous secretion containing large amounts of salivary amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates).
Cells of the submandibular glands secrete a mixture of buffers, glycoproteins called mucins, and salivary amylase.
The primary function of the esophagus is to convey solid food and liquids to the stomach.
The stomach disrupts chemical bonds in food material through the action of acids and enzymes,
production of intrinsic factor, a glycoprotein whose presence in the digestive tract is required for the absorption of vitamin B12in the small intestine.
Parietal cells in the stomach secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, an inactive proenzyme. Pepsinogen is converted by the acid in the
gastric lumen to pepsin, an active proteolytic enzyme.
Glands in the pylorus produce primarily a mucous secretion, rather than enzymes or acid. In addition, several types of enteroendocrine cells are scattered among the mucus-secreting cells.
Gastrin is produced by G cells, which are most abundant in the gastric pits of the pyloric antrum.
The pyloric glands also contain D cells, which release somatostatin, a hormone that inhibits the release of gastrin.
The stomach is a holding tank in which food is saturated with gastric juices and exposed to stomach acids and the digestive effects of pepsin.
The mucosa of the small intestine produces only a few of the enzymes involved.
The pancreas provides digestive enzymes, as well as buffers that help neutralize chyme.
Brush border enzymes are integral membrane proteins located on the surfaces of intestinal microvilli.
These enzymes perform the important digestive function of breaking down materials that come in contact with the brush border.
Enterokinase is one brush border enzyme that enters the lumen in this way, does not directly participate in digestion, but it activates a key pancreatic proenzyme, trypsinogen.
Intestinal glands also contain enteroendocrine cells responsible for the production of several intestinal hormones, including gastrin, cholecystokinin, and secretin.
The pancreas is primarily an exocrine organ, producing digestive enzymes and buffers.
The specific pancreatic enzymes involved include the following:
Pancreatic alpha-amylase, a carbohydrase- an enzyme that breaks down certain starches.
Pancreatic alpha-amylase is almost identical to salivary amylase.
Pancreatic lipase, which breaks down certain complex lipids, releasing products (such as fatty acids) that can be easily absorbed and nucleases, which break down nucleic acids.
Proteolytic enzymes, which break certain proteins apart. The proteolytic enzymes of the pancreas
include proteases, which break apart large protein complexes, and peptidases, which break small peptide chains into individual amino acids

What is the medical term meaning X-rays examination of the bile ducts?
the answer is POCA
Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiogram
What is the general composition of amino acids?
Generally amino acids have an Amino group (-NH2) and a Carboxyl group (-COOH) attached to the same carbon atom, which is also called as Alpha carbon. Besides Hydrogen and R-Group is also attached with this carbon atom. R may be hydrogen, CH3 or any other group. For Example:
If R-group is hydrogen then it is called glycine or if it is CH3 then it is called alanine.
