Digestive System

Yes.

First, any of the gases found in flatulence - with the exception of oxygen - would be regarded as "toxic" if you had to exclusively breathe them. Such as hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. It would not be so much that those gases are toxic, but that you were receiving toxic amounts.

Secondly, methane is toxic, and less then levels of 100% could harm you.

Thirdly, the amounts likely to be expelled during flatulence, are not going to poison anyone.

Sucrose is a type of carbohydrate. Pepsin is a protease, so it can only digest proteins, because enzymes are specific to one kind of molecule. Sucrose would be broken down by a carbohydrase.

All nutrients are broken down into their respective monomers in order to be absorbed into the blood stream. The monomers of a protein are amino acids - this is what your body's cells use to build up other proteins.

The large intestine.

No link. The digestive system is 22 feet from mouth to "exit". Todd, RN

It was in 1887.

NO, it's not normal to have cramping or nausea. Too much fiber can ruin your digestive system. You should eat as little as possible. Read the book "Fiber Menace", try doing a Google search for "Fiber Menace". Eat white rice instead of brown, peel your potatoes, and juice your citrus fruits. Cut as much fruit out from your diet as possible. Try keeping fiber below 10 grams per day so your intestines can heal. Much of the above sounds very wrong!! The recommended daily intake of fibre for an adult is 20-35g, both soluble and insoluble. Apple is only 2.5% fibre, whole peaches 1.5%, carrots are 2.8%. Unless you are eating significantlyin excess of 1.5kg (3lb) of fruit and veg' a day, excess fibre intake is VERY unlikely, although some other problem with your diet is entirely possible. Don't forget that vegetarians and vegans routinely eat considerable quantities of fibre, especially in comparison to most modern western diets of highly processed foods. You need to see a doctor not adjust your diet.

Is this reaction an illustration of synthesis or digestion

At-home kits that use saliva instead of urine to help determine ovulation have made it more convenient for women trying to conceive children to track their hormonal cycles, eliminating a lot of guesswork.

Both get started at about the same time. As the teeth are grinding up the food, enzymes in the saliva are breaking down starch.

Carbon Dioxide will be produced.

The Alimentary canal, which consist of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and large bowel.

bile

Substance P is a 11 amino-acids peptide which belongs to the tachykinins, a family of peptide which induces a rapid contraction of the smooth muscle of the digestive tract

I've had mine removed, and the scar is bearly an inch long , so its pretty small !

The pyloric sphincter is a valve that opens and closes to allow chyme to leave the stomach and enter the duodenum.

The cardiac sphincter is a valve that opens and closes to prevent stomach acid from going up the esophagus.

What is digestion? Digestion is the process of breaking down food into nutrients and energy for use by the body. In the human digestion process, food is firstly pre-digested by saliva during chewing, then travels via the oesophagus to the stomach. Here the strong muscles of the stomach wall work together with gastric juices to break down food into a mushy mixture. Gastric juices have a high acidity that also helps kill off any germs in food.

Partially digested food then enters the small intestine, where the pancreas, liver and gallbladder contribute juices that help the body digest food and absorb nutrients. The remaining mixture then moves on to the large intestine for the body's final go at absorbing nutrients and water, and then leaves the body as waste.

In humans the digestive system is over 9 metres long!

hope this helps :)))

The gulbladder uses the broken down food and transports it to the big intestine to get thrown out.

true

It takes place in the stomach and a little in the small intestine. The small intestines bigger job is to suck up the nutrients. The large intestine really just pushes the "stuff" inside of you to the rectum which makes the "stuff" harder.

you insert it in their ear
