Question
Chapter 25, Problem 12RFT
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The food is ingested through the mouth and is masticated by the teeth. It is then propelled into the esophagus and is moved down to the stomach by peristalsis movement. The digestion of food occurs in the stomach and the small organic molecules are absorbed by the epithelial surface of the small intestine. The undigested food is eliminated from the body.

In what sense are nutrients from a recently ingested meal not really “inside” your body prior to the absorption stage of food processing?
After an eight-hour hike without food, your long-awaited favorite dish is placed infront of you, and your mouth waters in anticipation. Why?
If you fed an experimental animal (a mammal) a special food that consisted of all 20 amino acids, glucose and a wide variety of fatty acids, along with all needed vitamins and minerals, how would its digestive system handle this food? What would be normal and what, if anything, would be abnormal about its food processing? Is it likely to be adequately nourished?
