Digestive

The digestive system is a severely underrated part of the human body. For most people, the digestive system is just something that gives them diarrhea after they eat poorly. Little do they know, that the digestive system is the key part to fueling our bodies. The digestive system is how you break down and absorb much needed nutrients. This is how we “fuel” our body. Our body breaks down the food we eat into manageable pieces, and then we are able to absorb it into our bloodstream so that it can be

D2 how the digestive system, cardiovascular system and respiratory system all link together How the digestive system works? Food moves through the GI tract. Digestion starts in the mouth with chewing and finishes in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them

down. Pepsin (an enzyme) breaks down proteins and hydrochloric acid to break down solid food. Food can spend up to 15 minutes to 24 hours in the stomach, depending on the size of meal. Surprisingly the stomach of a horse only takes up 10% of the digestive system. Because of how small it is the horse must eat little and often. After the food has gone through the stomach, it moves onto the small intestine. Food moves through it between 30 minutes to an hour. It is made up of three parts. The Duodenum

Human Digestive System Single-celled organisms can directly take in nutrients from their outside environment. Multi-cellular animals, with most of their cells removed from contact directly with the outside environment, have developed specialized structures for obtaining and breaking down their food. The human digestive system is a complex series of organs and glands that processes food. It is a coiled, muscular tube (6-9 meters long when fully extended) extending from the mouth to the

The Digestive System What are the main functions in digestion of the a) mouth b) stomach c) small intestine The mouth takes in the food and uses the teeth and the salivary glands do break down the food so it could move onto the next phase. The teeth chew food while the salivary glands, liver, bile duct and pancreas produce digestive juices to break down food. The stomach is a L shaped, organ situated on the left side of the abdominal cavity beneath

choices we make, a vital system in our bodies is composed of several organs that work together to chew, swallow, breakdown, absorb, and expel what was once lunch, into usable energy for every day tasks (Yale, Kathleen). This system is known as our digestive tract, or our gastrointestinal tract (GI). Of the many important organs that make up the GI tract, our stomach acts as an intermediary

Andres Nogales Professor Dr. Felton Essay 1: Since this student had a bag of chips which is carbs and turkey sandwich which is considered protein and fat and water. The first stage in the digestive system is ingestion when the student enters his lunch in their mouth. In this stage there is mechanical and chemical digestion taken place. The mechanical digestion is take place by biting and tearing the food into smaller parts which would then be known as bolus. Chemical digestion is occurred when

The digestive system is the process of turning food that we eat into nutrients that the body uses for energy. This system also creates waste that the body needs to eliminate. We are now going to talk about the journey of food through the digestive system to see how everything works together to reserve the nutrients of the food we take in everyday and how the body removes all the remaining substances from our body. As I enter the mouth, there is already I liquid that the salivary glands have produced

The Digestive System Parts of the Digestive System (https://www.thinglink.com/scene/496007041890910209) The digestive system comprises of multiple organs like the mouth, which consists of the salivary glands, saliva, tongue and epiglottis; the Pharynx, Oesophagus, Diaphragm, Stomach, Spleen, Liver, Pancreas and the Lower gastrointestinal tract which includes the small and large intestine and the caecum. The major role

Anatomy and Physiology of the Digestive System Mouth and Salivary Glands The mouth, also referred to as the oral cavity, is the entryway into the digestive tract. The opening is formed by the lips, which guide food into and contain food in the mouth. The palate forms the roof of the mouth and separates the mouth from the nasal passages. The uvula is important in sealing off the nasal passages during swallowing. The tongue forms the floor of the mouth and guides food within the mouth during
