How do the parts in digestive work together to digest food?

First you have mechanical and chemical forms that aid in the digestive process. The chewing or mastication breaks down the food so that more surfaces are available to the chemical processes that finally digest the food. Once a swallow of food (bolus) is in the stomach, digestive acids break down the food further. It is the same hydochloric acid that would burn your skin if thown at you. The rugae (folds in the stomach) also helps mechanically break down the food to churn and contract the muscles. This is called peristalsis. Next step is on to the duodenum. The duo (two) denum (ten)is the sum of its name in inches--it is 12 inches long. Here the chyle and chime (why don't more parents name their kids medical names, I wonder?) chuchchurn down to the small intestines. Here, more chemicals come from the pancreas, liver and gall bladder to break down the fats, carbs (starch), and proteins. These agents are called the lipase, protease and amylase--ahhh, more baby names! Vomit now, and you would bring up bile and pretty much digested food particles. Keep it down and it progresses to the jejunum and then the ileum. Remember it by The DJ is I gnorant!. D-Duodenum, J-Jejunum, I-Ileum. I will give you more of the trip to the netherland if you like what you read so far.

What does a bullet in the stomach feel like?

At first you wont feel it, you'll haunch over a little bit and feel very confused. After about 2 minutes it feels similar to both stepping on a nail only much wider and through your gut and swollowing a molten hot bowling ball. It's remarkably painful and it becomes very difficult to breath. Your thoughts remain surprisingly coherent while you wait to either die or be rescued depending on the situation. I was very fortunate in that the bullit missed my aorta by a centimeter and my hip bone by even less. It went in dead center, one in. above my belly button, and exited out the back left side of my body. It passed through my stomach, jejunum twice, severed a uritor, and passed through my colon. It was a 40 cal. fired from 3-4 ft. away with the intention to kill. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Can you take appetite suppressants with ssris?

There are many kinds of appetite suppressants.

Acomplia (discontinued in the EU, maybe in the US also due to high risk of suicide) is contradicted officially to psychiatric disorders (for which you are taking the SSRIs) but if your psychiatrist prescribed it so, it's ok.

Meridia/Reductil is itself an SSRI, so co-administration is not a great idea. Discontinued in many countries due to risk of suicide.

Most probably you are referring to Ampetamine class, stick to doctors instructions. It is possible, but co-administration may have some risks.

Which nutrients digested mainly in the stomach?

Protein

Is eating fried foods beneficial for the circulatory and respiratory systems?

Absolutely not. Fried foods contribute to the accumulation of fatty deposits in the blood vessels which makes circulation difficult. If blood can't get to where it needs to go, then cells are going to be deprived of oxygen. Additionally, habitual consumption of fried foods leads to weight gain that further increases blood pressure and overall health deterioration.
This is a false statement. Fried foods have been known to cause impaired blood circulation and could lead to cardiovascular diseases. There are no benefits to the respiratory system from eating fried foods.
