Digestive System

It could be digestion? Chewed up food is called chyme. What is left over after digestion is called feces.

Salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver( via the gallbladder), and small intestine.

The liver helps to break down fats by producing bile.

The small intestine absorbs nutrients and the large intestine absorbs water and left over nutrients.

Drinking too much alcohol can upset the stomach and digestive system which can often cause indigestion and heartburn.

mouth

yes they can

The mouth is important because that is the first place where food is mechanically chewed up before it reaches the stomach. It also is mixed with saliva which makes it moist and carries amylase an enzyme that begins the breakdown of carbohydrates,

alimentary canal

The pH of your stomach changes depending on what you are eating. If you are digesting a fat the solution can increase.

Nucleases are produced in the pancreas. These are enzymes that digest nucleic acids, and the word nuclease represents any nucleic acid breaker.

the soil that they grow in is too un-nutrient-ous

by the digestive system

no what? that dont make sense;why is the digestive system important for sport - NO ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

the picture is an unlabelled inside diagram of the lungs. It shows how your oesophagus keeps your airways clear of mucus, dirt or anything else that might threaten to block it using cilia which have a hairline structure.

How do antacids reduce indigestion?

(Lansing State Journal, October 26, 1994)

----

Gastric juice, the digestive juice used by our stomachs to digest food, is quite acidic -acidic enough in fact, to digest zinc metal! Our stomachs have a special lining that normally can handle these conditions by constantly shedding its cells and replacing them. Occasionally, however, such as when we eat something that is difficult to digest (like pizza with everything on it) or when we are under a lot of stress, our stomachs produce more acid than they can handle. The excess acid causes the stomach to shed the cells of its protective lining faster than it can replace them. If this happens occasionally we feel the discomfort of indigestion. If it happens a lot we can wind up with an ulcer. To take care of the excess acid, we can take an antacid. Antacids contain weak bases. Bases neutralize acids by reacting with them to form water and a salt. The reason weak bases are used instead of strong bases is because strong bases would neutralize too much acid and would most likely kill you.

no, the carnivores and the herbivores are not same by the sence of dijestive system. the car......... have rumen and a cemical called cellulose.

1.) Food enters the oral cavity

2.) Passes through pharynx

3.) Enters esophagus via glottis

4.) Involuntary wave of smooth muscular contractions (peristalsis) moves food down esophagus to cardiac stomach (food broken down by muscular contractions and gastric juices...hydrochloric acid and pepsin)

5.) pyloric stomach

6. small intestine via pyloric sphincter

-duodenum: digested food mixes with enzyme secreted by intestinal epithelium, bile form gallbladder, and enzymes of pancreas

-jejunum: chemical digestion and nutrient absorption takes place

-ileum

7.) enter large intestine via muscular sphincter

caecum: fermentation reservoir where cellulose is digested

-colon:

-descending colon

-rectum

*water reabsorbed form wastes of digestive tract, feces becomes more solid

8.) fecal matter expelled through anus

The etiology, or cause, of cholecystolithiasis which are also known as gallstones depends on the kind of stone. One variety of gallstones is caused by excess cholesterol, the other is caused when too many red blood cells are destroyed which leaves bilirubin in the bile.

If a person's small intestine is not working well food will not digest properly and it can become backed up inside the intestine. The person may experience stomach pain and need to see a doctor to obtain medication for cleaning out the intestine.

esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine

The gullet (when you swallow and the windpipe is shut off the food goes down into the gullet and muscles in the wall of the gullet contract-get smaller-to push the food down and the food gets pushed down to the stomach. if something is wrong with the gullet, food will get stuck and that will do lots of damage. )

The stomach (in the stomach the food is churned up with a strong acid of pH1-2. if you do not have a balanced diet the acid might not be strong enough and the food won't dissolve quick enough. )

The small and large intestine (particles that make up food are call molecules and these molecules are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine and turned from insoluble molecules to soluble molecules. in this process, the molecules get broken down to less than 1/4 of what they were before. sugars (e.g. glucose), vitamins and minerals are small and soluble in water and so can pass through the wall of the small intestine. larger insoluble molecules, like starch, fats and proteins, need to be broken up into small, soluble molecules by chemicals called enzymes.

the long intestine and the shorter intestine

if they can't break down the food ,the other stomachs will do the process
