- Put the following terms in their correct order from the simplest to the most complex. Skin cell, Integumentary system , Epithelial tissue, Stem cell , Skin, Organism The stomach produces hydrochloric acid which increases the acidity of the stomach to digest the food. However, the small intestine are not damaged by strongly acidic food coming from the stomach. How does our body avoids damaging the small intestine with this strongly acidic food passes out of the stomach?arrow_forwardHow does the digestion and absorption of fat differ from that of carbohydrates? Absorbed fat first enters the lymphatic system, whereas carbohydrates directly enter the blood. Fat absorption occurs in the stomach, whereas carbohydrates are absorbed from the small intestine. Only fat must be worked on by bacteria in the large intestine before it can be absorbed. Carbohydrates need to be emulsified before they can be digested, whereas fats do not. Processing of fat does not require any digestive enzymes, whereas the processing of carbohydrates does.arrow_forwardWhich statement about the large intestine is FALSE? Group of answer choices It is involved with the absorption of sodium. It is involved with the absorption of water. It harbors beneficial bacteria. It secretes digestive enzymes. It is also called the colon.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is not true? a. Essential nutrients can be synthesized by the body. b. Vitamins are required in small quantities for bodily function. c. Some amino acids can be synthesized by the body, while others need to be obtained from diet. d. Vitamins come in two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble.arrow_forwardFigure 34.12 Which of the following statements about the small intestine is false? Absorptive cells that line the small intestine have microvilli, small projections that increase surface area and aid in the absorption of food. The inside of the small intestine has many folds, called villi. Microvilli are lined with blood vessels as well as lymphatic vessels. The inside of the small intestine is called the lumen.arrow_forwardFigure 34.11 Which of the following statements about the digestive system is false? Chyme is a mixture of food and digestive juices that is produced in the stomach. Food enters the large intestine before the small intestine. In the small intestine, chyme mixes with bile, which emulsifies fats. The stomach is separated from the small intestine by the pylloric sphincter.arrow_forward
- Intrinsic factor, found in the lining of the stomach, is needed to? Stimulate the release of bile from the pancreas Absorb vitamin B12 Stimulate the production of digestive enzymes in the liver All of the above.arrow_forwardWhat is the serous membrane? The innermost of the two middle layers of the wall of the gastrointestinal tract The outer layer of the wall of the gastrointestinal tract The inner layer of the wall of the gastrointestinal tract The outermost of the two middle layers of the wall of the gastrointestinal tractarrow_forwardwhat is responsible for fermenting and digestible carbohydrates and synthesizing B complex vitamins in the large intestine? digestive enzymes, bacterial flora, haustraarrow_forward
- The digestive system processes food into usable and unusable materials. The usable materials are sent to the body's cells as food. What happens to unusable materials? It goes into the pancreas to await disposal. It goes to the right ventricle to await disposal. It goes into the large intestine to await disposal. It goes into the small intestine to await disposal.arrow_forwardDrag and drop each item to the correct form of absorption. Movement is down the concentration gradient Moves small, hydrophilic molecules and organic nutrients Driven by ATP Active transport Moves mineral ions Moves small, hydrophobic molecules Facilitated diffusion Passive absorption Active absorptionarrow_forwardWhich of the following digestive system structures is greatly expanded in size in HERBIVORES, resulting in a very large surface area for microbes to digest plant material? Group of answer choices rumen stomach cecum gall bladderarrow_forward
