@instituteofhumananatomy: Your stomach's exit valve only lets about 3 milliliters through at a time. 🔬 The pyloric sphincter is so tight that anything too big gets pushed back for more mixing and breakdown. That's the churning wave, back and forth, until particles are small enough to sneak through. How long it lasts depends on what you ate. Carbs break down fastest, protein's next, and fat is the slowest of all. 👉 Comment "DIGESTIVE" and we'll send you 30% off our Exploring the Digestive System eBook (this month only). #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign #LearnBiologyOnTikTok #stomach #digestivesystem #anatomy #humanbody #cadaverlab #pyloricsphincter #anatomyandphysiology #medstudent #iohaanatomy
So how does a piece of corn get through fully intact then?

Can eating food in large pieces (bitten parts of food) be harmful? And can it also prolong the feeling of satiety?

So this is why my granny always said to chew 40 times before swallowing a bite of food.

Ok but… what happens in a stomach when a person eats something “wrong” and then this something causes an almost immediate reaction of an organism? (And then ‘Hi toilet 👋’)

I had gastric bypass almost 20 years ago and would LOVE to see what a “pouch stomach” looks like next to a regular one and explain how it functions differently. Thank you for sharing these very interesting videos!

Please some of us if we eat after some minutes we can pull the food we ate back to our mouth, chew it again and swallow like some animals do. Please is it normal or see my doctor
