Chyme released from the stomach enters the small intestine, which is the primary digestive organ in the body. Not only is this where most digestion occurs, it is also where practically all absorption occurs. The longest part of the alimentary canal, the small intestine is about 3.05 meters (1...
duodenum- the part of the small intestine between the stomach and the jejunum small intestine- the longest part of the alimentary canal; where digestion is completed Based on WordNet 3.0, Farlex clipart collection. © 2003-2012 Princeton University, Farlex Inc. ...
Ducts from the pancreas, gall bladder, and liver empty pancreatic juice, bile, and other digestive fluids into the duodenum. The duodenum is the uppermost part of the small intestine, so it receives chyme from the stomach. This is where most chemical digestion occurs and where the absorption ...
Gastric emptying is regulated by both the stomach and the duodenum. The presence of chyme in the duodenum activates receptors that inhibit gastric secretion. This prevents additional chyme from being released by the stomach before the duodenum is ready to process it. Chemical Digestion The fundus pl...
55 Within the GI tract, CCK is predominantly synthesized and released from the duodenum and jejunum,56 where its local regulatory effects include stimulation of gallbladder contraction and inhibition of gastric emptying.57 In addition to its GI tract distribution, CCK is also widely distributed ...

In higher animals and man, most supramolecular aggregates and large molecules—that is, proteins, products of incomplete protein hydrolysis, carbohydrates, and fats—are split in the lumen of the small intestine chiefly by enzymes that are secreted by the pancreas and that reach the duodenum. Un...
For instance, in healthy human subjects, the pH in the small intestine gradually increases from pH 6 in the duodenum to about pH 7.4 in the terminal ileum, then drops to pH 5.7 in the caecum, but again gradually increases, reaching pH 6.7 in the rectum73. Upon inflammation, the pH in ...
The breakdown happens in the pancreas allowing for amino acids to be absorbed in the upper part of our abdomen, called the duodenum. Amino acids are typically regarded as a marker for protein quality and they are essential to many important functions including muscle and tissue repair. There ...
In camelids, fermentative digestion occurs in the first two gastric compartments (C1 and C2) and the cranial four fifths of the third gastric compartment (C3). The first gastric compartment occupies most of the left side of the abdomen. It consists of large cranial and caudal sacs, which are...
