This sandwich looks tasty. Now, I wonder what happens to the food we eat. I will see a video on it after eating.
Ingestion
The teeth will chew and grind the food
Mouth contains saliva which softens the food and helps to swallow easily.
Mouth
Digestion
Stomach
mucus (protects the stomach from damage) and digestive enzymes (pepsin) (digests proteins) which kill the bacteria. The muscles contract to enhance digestion.
The mouth grinds and crushes the food. The carbohydrates are digested here.
The girl eat's her sandwich and goes and sees a video to learn about the methods of digestion.
Absorption
This where the the energy from the food is released into the the bloodstream
Pancreas
Ingestion is the method of taking in food using the mouth
Assimilation
Breaking down of complex food into soluble form is known as digestion. Digestion occurs in our mouth,stomach and the small intestine.
Egestion
The energy from the food is released into the blood stream.
Small intestine
The small intestine absorbs nutrients from the food.The lining of the small intestine has finger like projections called villi. This makes absorption more efficient and increases surface area
The blood (with the energy) gets transported to the all the whole body. The blood gives energy to the body to work,function and repair damaged parts.
