Digestive System

Well, if your body is alive, all organs and tissues are alive. However, separate from the body, the digestive system would not function. Therefore, it cannot be said that the digestive system is "alive" apart from its functioning within the body.

Less Time = Less Digestion

Peristalsis. Organs contract behind the food and loosen in front of it, pushing it forward through the alimentary canal.

It is called the Pylorus.

The normal treatment for appendicitis is to surgically remove the appendix, and once it has been removed, obviously it can no longer burst.

The food tube that carries food from the pharynx to the stomach is called the esophagus. It is a muscular tube that functions through rhythmic contractions known as peristalsis to push the food downward. The esophagus connects the throat to the stomach, allowing for the passage of swallowed food.

Cellulose and starch have the exact same atomic structure. They are chains of glucose that are connected by an oxygen. The only difference is the position of those glucose in relation to its neighbors.

Starch has alpha bonds which are stable enough to stay connected but weak enough to be broken down by the enzymes in our stomachs and even mouths (which is why sucking on rice will make it sweet-you are making glucose out of starch).

The bonds in cellulose are much more stable. The purpose of starch is to keep its cohesion and provide a proper support for cellular membranes. While it is entirely possible to break these bonds, the process sucks up immense energy reserves to make it worthwhile. This is why cows, among other herbivores, have such low metabolisms. They are evolved to eat cellulose-rich foods to supply their ATP. While this does allow them to consume a plentiful food-source, they must pay for it by accommodating a second stomach and reinvesting a great deal of the nutrition they earn to digestion.

Some day, we may be able to flip the alpha bond of cellulose into a beta bond in the lab. This would be the solution to world hunger since we could essentially turn plywood into bread.

Because plant cells have a large vacuole son

please make clearer

Esophagus

yes

The amoeba surrounds the food with psuedopods and forms a food vacuole. This vacuole then digests the food with digestive enzymes.

You can't. What you smell is your feces and they smell that way. You need to reduce the amount of gas you produce. Reduce beans or onions or what ever is causing it. You can take over the counter meds also.

large intestine (colon)

HNF 150 at MSU? Me too buddy, me too..

and me too!

The difference in the process of digestion varies for ruminant animals vs. non ruminant. This is how they differ: Runminant animals are generally any hoofed and horned mammals like cows, goats, deer---their digestion takes in a four compartment stomach and chewing a cud consisting of regurgitated food to often alter the make of the hays and grains they eat. The non ruminant animal has a mechanical, chemical, and biologically--the reduction of food by chewing and adding digestive enzymes, then there is the mixing and heating of it with hydrochloric acid and enzymes in the stomach, then nutrients are extracted from the large intestine, followed by the excretion of waste. (This is our digestive process so we must be non ruminant).

You have bad wind

go see a doctor

The lipase test is a blood test performed to determine the serum level of a specific protein (enzyme) involved in digestion.

What prevents food from getting into the lungs is an Aorta.

I am guessing because of a small body 1 day at maximum, 14-20 hours at minimum

Peyer's patch is located in the Ileum.

Different people digest at different rates, but it generally takes 12 to 24 hours. Maruchan ramen would be somewhere in that bracket.

Corn is mainly Fiber which is not Digested. It helps our body digest stuff faster, but it is not digested itself. If you ate some corn without biting it and just gulped it, you would see that the corn is still intact and the same color in your feces.

Actually its the other way round, the circulatory system works with the GIT, where all the absorbed food and minerals eventually go the liver via the blood vessels which all pile up in the hepatic portal vein (presystemic circulation), which delivers everything absorbed form the GIT to the liver, inside the liver; the food stores are replenished, the blood is detoxified, e.g. from drugs and alcohol. After that it exists through the hepatic vein to reach the systemic circulatory system. Although many scientists agree, if a male penis thrusts too powerfully into the vagina, the blood stream will be infested with a virus called plomontheia, which which shrivills the uterus and bladder causing the digestive system to break down
