DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Digestion is the process by which food broken down so that it can be used by the body. The digestive system begins in the mouth. The digestive tract is a long tube running from the mouth to the anus. In a living body it is contracted to twelve to fourteen feet (12-14 ft). Digestion begins in the oral cavity. Food enters the mouth and then mastication takes place. Mastication begins the process of mechanical digestion, in which large food particles are broken down into smaller ones. The teeth crush or tear the food into small pieces. The tongue, large muscular organ, moves food in the mouth and, in cooperation with the lips and cheeks, holds the food in place during mastication. It also plays a major role in the process of swallowing. The tongue is a major sensory organ for taste, as well as being one of the major organs of speech. During chewing, much greater quantities of saliva are secreted by three pairs of extrinsic salivary glands, namely the parotid glands (located under the skin anterior to each earlobe), the submandibular glands (located under the base of the tongue), and the sublingual glands (located in the floor of the mouth). Saliva is a watery fluid containing several components including lysozyme, an enzyme that kills bacteria, and salivary amylase, an enzyme that begins the digestion of starch. Once the food is chewed and softened in the mouth, the tongue rolls it into a ball or bolus and then pushes the bolus to the throat to be swallowed. As the food passes to the pharynx or throat, the epiglottis is tipped posteriorly so that the opening in the larynx is covered, preventing food from entering the larynx. The food then passes into esophagus. Esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the mouth with the stomach. Like a stretchy pipe that's about 10 inches (25 centimeters) long. The esophagus moves the food to the stomach by a serious of muscular contractions called peristalsis. Peristalsis is the wavelike contraction of muscles that move food through the digestive system. This takes about 2 or 3 seconds. The lower end of the esophagus, which passes through a hole in the diaphragm to meet the stomach within the abdominal cavity, has a lower esophageal (or cardiac) sphincter which briefly relaxes to allow the bolus of food to enter the stomach.
As the food enters the stomach, muscle contractions begin to twist, turn, and churn the food. The twisting, turning, and churning of food in the stomach are part of mechanical digestion. The stomach is a muscular sac that is located in the upper left portion of the abdominal cavity. The inner lining of the stomach wall contains millions of tiny gastric glands that secrete gastric juice, which dissolves the food to form a thick liquid called chyme. Gastric juice contains several substances including hydrochloric acid, intrinsic factor (which is essential for the intestinal absorption of vitamin B 12) and pepsinogen (an inactive protein -digesting enzyme). The hydrochloric acid has several functions including destroying ingested bacteria, and converting pepsinogen into its active form, pepsin, in order to initiate the digestion of protein. At the lower end of the stomach is the pyloric sphincter, a valve through which chyme must flow to enter the small intestine. Over a period of three to six hours, peristalsis moves chyme through the duodenum into the next portion of the small intestine, the jejunum, and finally into the ileum, the last section of the small intestine. The small intestine is a long, coiled organ about one inch in diameter. The small intestine is 6 meters in length. It consists of three segments named the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. During this time, the liver releases bile into the small intestine. The bile enters the small intestine through the bile duct. The liver filters out harmful substances or wastes, turning some of the waste into more bile. Bile prepares the fats for digestion; it helps to absorb fats into the bloodstream. And the gallbladder serves as a warehouse for bile, storing it until the body needs it. Pancreatic juice, secreted by the pancreas, contains enzymes that break down sugars and starches into simple sugars, fats into fatty acids and glycerol, and proteins into amino acids. The pancreatic juice enters through pancreatic duct. The walls of the small intestine release enzymes that complete the digestion of all three basic nutrients. In the walls of the small intestine are millions of small projections called villi. These villi increase the small intestine capacity for absorption. Digested food is absorbed into these blood vessels and carried to all body cells. Food may spend as long as 4 hours in the small intestine and will become a very thin, watery mixture.\ A watery residue of indigestible food and digestive juices remains unabsorbed. This residue leaves the ileum of the small intestine and moves by peristalsis into the large intestine, where it spends 12 to 24 hours. The large intestine forms an inverted U over the coils of the small intestine. It starts on the lower right-hand side of the body and ends on the lower left-hand side. The large intestine is 1.5 to 1.8 m (5 to 6 ft) long and about 6 cm (2.5 in) in diameter. The large intestine serves several important functions. It absorbs waterabout 6 liters (1.6 gallons) dailyas well as dissolved salts from the residue passed on by the small intestine. In addition, bacteria in the large intestine promote the breakdown of undigested materials and make several vitamins, notably vitamin K, which the body needs for blood clotting. The large intestine moves its remaining
contents toward the rectum, which makes up the final 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) of the alimentary canal. The rectum stores the feceswaste material that consists largely of undigested food, digestive juices, bacteria, and mucusuntil elimination. Then, muscle contractions in the walls of the rectum push the feces toward the anus. When sphincters between the rectum and anus relax, the feces pass out of the body.
