Digestion Archives

of foods? how would the patients have to altar eating habits? why? do you think that people should have this type of surgery to treat life-threatening obesity?

I know the stages of course. Everyone does. Eat, digest then go crap in the bathroom. I just don’t know where all the “broken down” energy goes. Does it go in one place? or the entire body? I guess all of the body. Just curious to know. I don’t even know why our solid waste is brown. So does someone know the break down process when food is burned by hydrochloric acid.

Describe how the pancreas contributes to the digestion of fat, protein and carbohydrate in the small intestine. How are these materials digested and absorbed?

I have that phospholipids are digested by pancreatic phopholipases but I can’t seem to find anything else that will help. I am so lost can someone please help

I’m doing a new diet but I’m not comfortable with taking any pills (colon cleansing supplements). I want to do this the more natural way. I’m aware of prunes but what else could I eat.

This is a science project I am doing and I am trying to figure it out and look it up on the internet, but I cannot find anything on the topic!

My question is does the esophagus use mechanical digestion (the crunching, grinding, and mashing of food) or chemical digestion (the breaking down of food using acids, fluids, and other chemicals)

I am thinking it is mechanical digestion because of the esophagus’s use of peristalsis…Am I correct?

Help please! ASAP!

Like i need to know what it passes through, what happens to it as it reaches its point of destination (haha). please no attempts at being funny please, i just want an explanation :) thanks

I have a pit bull, and im not sure if its just the breed or my dog, he doesnt get fed people food. Ive tried a few dog food brands (pedigree dry and wet food and science diet) and he farts SO much. Hes an indoor dog so the farting is an issue when i have guests over for dinner. Anyone have any suggestions?
He and my husband are the loves of my life. Hes our baby and keeps me from feeling lonely while my husband is in Iraq. Money isnt an issue. I just dont want him not feeling well. Im sure hes not very comfortable feeling gassy all the time :)

What two processes help in the digestion of food?

I have extreme stomach pains. Everyone says its because my food isnt digestide yet.

How cna I make it go quicker?

Hi. I am planning to do a 3 day water fast to cleanse myself. My goal is clearer thinking and loss of addiction. I know that the main goal of a fast is for the stomach to stop working so the body has more energy to do other cleansing tasks. If I dirnk lemon in warm water will that stop that happening? Is it better to fast just n filtered water?
