How long a shower should last depends upon the flow rate of your shower. If you have the hot water turned high, it won't last very long. Typically, the average shower consumes about 15-25 gallons of hot water. Try replacing your shower head with a low-flow type. If your water heater is electric, one of your heating elements might be burned out or you could have a bad thermostat. A plumber should be able to diagnose and correct the problem for you.

The small intestine is the location in the body where the majority of the nutrients from ingested food are absorbed. Whereas the stomach is responsible for the churning and mechanical breakdown of food, the small intestine is very important for absorption.he ileum is preceded by the jejunum. This section of the small intestine is approximately 6 to 12 feet (3.5 meters) long. The ileum absorbs mainly vitamin B12, other water soluble vitamins, bile salts, and nutrients that were not absorbed in the jejunum.
The main parts of the digestive system are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gull bladder, and pancreas. Food does not actually pass thro â¦ ugh the liver, gull bladder and pancreas, but they do produce a green liquid called bile that helps digestion.he blood carries nutrients from the small intestine to all over the body. The villi in the small intestine allow nutrients from digested food to pass through the intestinal w â¦ all to the blood vessels. Then the blood carries the nutrients away. 1 person found this useful.
