- Hi there, Claire! Class ended early today.Mind if I sit in with you during lunch?
- Oh, hello! Sure thing, Mike! I was just about to take a bite.
- You're good in Biology class, right? I'm kind of struggling with our topic. How does the process of digestion actually take place?I could really use your help.
- SAM'S BURGERIA
- Digestion Process So it goes like this...
- Ah yes, sure. Let me enlighten you.Let's use these burgers as an example for digestion.
- (1) Right now as we eat, our food is being chewed by our teeth. As we are doing so, saliva is breaking down our burgers to make it soft enough to be swallowed.
- (2) Once it has been broken down enough, the food will then be pushed down to the esophagus and to the stomach.
- (4) Then once it comes out of the stomach, the food goes into the duodenum where it is broken down even more. This intestinal part also connects to other parts of the digestive system such as the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas.
- (3) Afterwards, the food is further broken down inside the stomach into smaller pieces. This takes place because the stomach contains hydrochloric acid which is known to be very corrosive. So once it is broken down, it actually becomes like a porridge texture substance called "chyme".
- (5) So we will now find a small, stretchy tube packed beneath the stomach located in the small intestine. This intestinal part breaks down the food furthermore so that the important vitamins,minerals, nutrients, and proteins are absorbed into the blood.
- (6) By the way, inside our digestive system, there exists certain substances which help digest our food! They are called digestive enzymes and they are being secreted by the salivary glands and cells which are all lined in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine.The most important digestive enzymes are:- Amylase- Lipase- Protease- Lactase- Sucrase- Maltase
- Well, that ends my explanation. I hope it became clear to you how the digestive process takes place, Mike!
- Oh, boy, it sure is now!Thank you so much, Claire! It was fun learning about the Digestive System and its Process with you,until next time!
- THEEND
- (7) Finally, all the unwanted excess materials all proceed into the large intestine, then passes through a part called the colon where the body has one last chance to absorb any water or minerals into the blood. At this point, whatever is left hardens as it keeps moving until it becomes excrement or feces, ready to be excreted.
