1. In this lab, we made an approximate model of the size of the digestive system from start to finish.
2.I am 1.8 meters tall, but my digestive system is 9.7 meters long. My digestive system is over 5 times longer than I am. The way the digestive system fits inside the human body is by being small, but layering itself on top of other portions of itself.
3. I would say it takes 6-7 hours for food to be digested and absorbed. It takes 6-8 hours to digest food depending on sex, and size of the individual.
4. In digestion, food is broken down to basic elements that the body can absorb. This is done mostly in the stomach and beginning of the small intestine. Absorption takes place in the majority of the small intestine and some of the large intestine.
5. What would happen if the intestines were shortened?
