We derive energy for all our physical activities from the food we consume
This energy is obtained because of our digestive system
The process of digestion begin when we put a morsel of food in our mouth
We use our teeth to cut break and two morsels of food
Saliva heads to softens the food and contains and enzyme that aids digestion
The softened food is rolled into a ball called the bolus and is pushed by the tongue into the throat
The food is pushed to the back of the fairings and travel down the pipe known as the Easter faeces
During this time a flap known as the epiglottis covers the opening of the windpipe and prevents the food from entering the track here
Movement of the food occurs due to a wave-like contraction known as peristalsis
When the food reaches the entrance of the stomach
A sphincter known as the lower east of eagles center relaxes and the food enters the stomach
The stomach contains gastric juices that breaks the food into smaller particles or molecules
The HCL acid present in the stomach converts the food into chyme
Converts the food into time this time now passes into the small intestine time this
This chime exists the stomach through the pyloric sphincter and enters a part of the small intestine known as the duodenum
The chime enters a part of the small intestine known as duodenum
The bile duct from the liver and gallbladder and the pancreatic duct from the pancreas releases this accretion into the duodenum
The bile helps breaking down fats and the bank cratic choose breaks down other food particles
This needs in the further digestion of food
Most of the nutrients from the food are absorbed in the small intestine
This occurs in a part of the small intestine known the jejunum
The food particles are further broken down inside the jejunum
Most of the nutrients from the food are absorbed in a part of the small intestine known as jejunum. The food particles are further broken down inside the jejunum
The walls are lined with finger like projection known as Billy that absorb the small food particles each villas contains a capillary and a lacteals
This allows the small intestine to absorb the required nutrients needed our body
The nutrients are then transported to different part of the body through the bloodstream
The larger food particles that cannot be absorbed move to the ileo-cecal valve and enter the large intestine or colon
The colon absorb water manufacturers minerals and produces mucus
The undigested food gradually solid defies as it moves through the colon
This food is considered as waste formed into faeces
The waste of faeces moves into the last part of the large intestine known as the rectum
It is ultimately expelled from the anus trough the defecation
