Grain from the bread provides carbohydrates, while proteins can be found in the tuna, lettuce, tomato and cheese of the sandwich. Lipids are represented in the cheese and mayo. All food groups are represented in the sandwich, with the exception of fruits. The function of digestion is to break down and transport nutrients from the food to their respected destination within the body as they are added through the lymphatic system and the blood stream. Major organs involved in digestion are the
The digestion process of this meal starts with the cephalic phase, which is the earliest stage of digestion, where your brain thinks about and preps the digestive organs to begin work once you consume food. At that very moment your food enters your mouth the digestion process starts. Chewing is the mechanical digestion process that breaks your food into smaller pieces that are easier to digest. While in your mouth saliva secreted from the salivary glands, which is the chemical digestion, is mixed
Digestion is classified as a catabolic process that breakdown of food into smaller particles, units, specific nutrients or molecules to monomers. Absorption is the movement of molecules from the lumen throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract into the circulatory system. Collectively, Digestion and Absorption take place in the organs of the Digestive System of the body, that are in two main groups. The groups are alimentary canal and accessory digestive organs. The aroma of a favorite food is great
organs break down food in two ways, mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. In mechanical digestion, the processes starts from the mouth to the stomach. During this process the food gets broken into smaller sizes. Then from there chemical digestions begins to occur. Chemical digestion is when many different enzymes break down the molecules so that they can be absorbed. Chemical digestion begins in the mouth and continues in the intestines. The mouth does two things, mechanical breakdown of
little better we will start from the beginning, the mouth. As we take food (Starch, protein, lipids) into our mouths we start the process with chewing which is a mechanical breakdown then salivary amylase which is in saliva combines with the chewed food. We then swallow forcing the food into the esophagus, where peristalsis the involuntary squeezing and relaxing of muscles propel food down to the stomach. When salivary amylase from the mouth reaches the stomach it starts to break down the carbohydrates
How did the carbohydrate, fats, and proteins differ in the digestion process, suitability and benefits of their intake and excretion?Nwachukwu ChristenciaCarrington CollegeDr Shepard04/07/2018. Nwachukwu 2How did the carbohydrate, fats, and proteins differ in digestion process? Explain expediency and benefits of their intake and excretionIntroductionThere are six classes of food, these classes of food are nutrients, and they are fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, water and minerals. These six
and serosa. Food enters through the mouth and passes through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and the large intestine before exiting the body through the anal canal. This occurs within the digestive system in four main steps; ingestion, where food enters through the mouth, digestion where food is broken down physically and chemically, absorption where nutrients are taken to their desired organ for use in the body, and elimination where waste is removed from the body due to being useless or toxic
to live and this energy provided by processes that called digestion. For example, when we eat some things like bread, meat, and vegetable, although they are delicious, but they are not forms of nourishment for the cells, therefore they need to change into an acceptable form such as smaller molecules to absorb by blood and carry to body cells. Digestion is break downing of food into appropriate form to absorb into the bloodstream. Digestion system contains the digestive tract called alimentary canal
of each of these sections of the digestive system:- Mouth (including teeth and tongue) Pharynx Oesophagus Stomach Gall bladder Liver Pancreas Small intestine Large intestine Digestive System: We need a continuous supply of nutrients to maintain the proper functioning and structure of our body. Digestive system ensures that these nutrients are made available for the body. These nutrients are derived from the food we eat. Food comes from water, organic molecules such as fats, carbohydrates,
bending tube from the mouth to the butt. The empty organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, throat, stomach, small digestive system, internal organ—which incorporates the rectum—and butt. Sustenance enters the mouth and goes to the rear-end through the empty organs of the GI tract. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the strong organs of the stomach related framework. The stomach related framework enables the body to process nourishment. Why is digestion important? Digestion is critical
