The process of the digestive system:
When individuals smell, think or see food, saliva begins
to form in their mouth
...
The enzyme in saliva purpose is to breaks down starch
into sugar which is called amylase
...
This happens by the teeth
tearing and crushing the food into small molecules that
can fit the throat
...
The tongue allow individuals to experience tastes that
are: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter
...
Each receptor in a taste bud responds best to one of the basic
tastes by sending the brain a message of what the taste
of food they are eating
...
After the food has been swallowed it’s carried down the
oesophagus towards the stomach
...
Food moves down the oesophagus by using muscles
...
Then
slowly it reaches the stomach
...
The stomach also contains hydrochloric acid and
digestive enzymes that continues the digestion of food
that began in the mouth
...
Gastric juices help to kill bacteria that
might be in the food which is eaten
...
The food is pushes out of the stomach into the small
intestine, where chemicals called enzymes breaks
the food into three types of food molecules – fat,
proteins and sugars
...
Then an enzyme in the
lining of the small intestine splits into glucose molecules that can be absorbed into the blood
...
The pancreas makes enzymes that digest proteins, fats and carbohydrates
...
The liver processes the molecules of food so that it can be used as
fuel by the rest of the body
...
The liver also produces bile
...
At the beginning of the large intestine the caecum, the contents are very fluid, and
the job of rest the large intestine (ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid colon) is to make the
rest of the food waste more solid
...
The rectum stores it until
individuals have to go to the bathroom to remove
the waste
...
