What is the portion of gastrointestinal tract that absorbs water?

What does the jujunum do in the digestive system?
The jejunum and the ileum are suspended by mesentery which gives the bowel great mobility within the abdomen. It also is wrapped by smooth muscle that helps to move food along by a process known as peristalsis.
How is food broken down mechanically and chemical in the mouth?
Enzymes break down the food in the mouth so you take all the nutrients.
Why is the small intestine to the digestive system?
we need small intestines so we can keep the nutriants in our body
Does the environment effect the digestive system?
Yes. Your digestive system houses numerous amounts of bacteria. These bacteria are not bad though, their colonies function in harmony to balance out your system

How are various organs all connected and the roles they play in the digestive process?
What are the physical liaisons between the circulatory and digestive system of a frog?
In humans the two systems are related like so. After the food goes through the stomach which chemically digests the foods with enzymes, the food passes to the small intestine which finishes the digestion process. The food then makes it'a way to the big intestin. in the big intestine veins absorb the nutriments from what is now feces. These nutriments travel through the blood stream and feeds the cells (supplies them with energy) kinda like the O2 does.
What are the important steps to the digestive system?
The main steps are
1. Teeth/Tongue and Salivary glands
2. The Esophagus
3. The Stomach
4. The Pancreas and Liver (in the duodenum)
5. The Small Intestine (jejunum)
6. The Large Intestine
7. The Rectum
Some lists include 8 (i.e. chewing and saliva as separate processes)
Both steps 4 and 5 take place past the stomach, in the small intestine. The upper part, the duodenum, is where pancreatic enzymes and bile from the gall bladder are added. The lower part called the jejunum is where food is absorbed, and other nutrients in a third section called the ileum.
How is appendix removed from body?
The abdominal cavity is opened, the appendix is tied off from the large intestine, and then cut off.
How does digestion take place in amoeba?
Digestion in amoeba is intracellular taking place within the cell. The food taken in remains in a food vacuole or gastric vacuole formed by the cell membrane and small part of the cytoplasm. The vacuoles are transported deeper into the cells by cytoplasmic movements. Here they fuse with lysosomes that contain enzymes. Two enzymes amylase and proteinase have been reported. Thus, amoeba can digest sugars, cellulose and proteins. Fats, however, remain undigested.
The contents of the vacuole become lighter and the outline of the vacuole becomes indefinite indicating that the digestion is complete.
Are most drugs given in oral form absorbed from the large intestine?
Most oral drugs or drugs taken by mouth travel to the stomach or intestine where they are absorbed into the bloodstream. These drugs are not effective or useful until they are absorbed into the bloodstream where they are transported to the organ or desired receptor.
How are the digestive and respiratory systems interdependent?
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM is the process of respiration. The lungs is the main organ of the respiratory system because it receives oxygen and take out the carbon dioxide. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM is the process of digestion. The main organ is the stomach because this is where the digestion occurs.
Chemical :digestion is when your saliva breaks down the food into small enough molecules for your cells to absorb
Mechanical: digestion is when you chew the food
How is the respiratory circulatory and the digestive system interdependent?
All the human systems are interrelated on some manner. Digestive, circulatory and respiratory are the main systems, all of them managed by the CNS in the brain. They are interdependent because they need a common factor to keep on functioning: the blood.
Which nutrient cannot be digested?
Because it is in a form which is already digested e.g honey. Honey is already digested by bees so it is far more easier for the human digestive system to absorb.
