Whenever you eat a contaminated food, the bacteria send a message to the brain. The brain will tell the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine to move faster which results to watery jebby/poop
DIGESTION: process of mechanical and chemical breakdown
DIGESTION: large molecules are broken down into simpler molecules that the body can absorb
DIGESTION: Works with muscular system and nervous system(brain tells the muscles to move).
FOOD TUBE: made up of smooth muscles(without conscious control/move on its own)
ABSORPTION: process in which digested food materials are absorbed by the cells
ABSORPTION: Works with circulatory, red blood cells travel with the nutrients
GLUCOSE: came from carbohydrates
GLUCOSE: to make chemical energy/ATP
GLUCOSE: To get inside the cells, it needs hormone or endocrine system
INSULIN: like a key to get inside the cells(divide when there are a lot to absorb) which came from the pancreas
excess glucose that was unable to be digested because of lack of insulin, the tendency of the body is to throw it to your kidney/goes out with pee
When the kidney can no longer filter sugar/glucose, it will become a stone that will prevent the kidney to filter water which will eventually lead to dialysis
DIABETIC/POOR INSULIN: if you don’t get enough insulin, glucose(source of energy) will all be thrown out
PROTEINS: will eventually be the alternative source of energy even though proteiNs are to repair the cells.
If the protein is used as energy: it will not prioritize its main task which is repairing cells anymore.
+ Antiperistalsis -vomitting
Some food don’t digest because of lack of enzymes, they don’t undergo mechanical digestion
ASSIMILATION: Transport and use of absorbed nutrients by the cells such as the food’s
EXCRETION: Passing of undigested material out of the digestive tract through anus
Bacteria makes the undigested food rot and produce gas/fart
Excretion: Works with muscular and nervous system
Anus has special nerves which tells us what will go out
FOOD TUBE: made up of organs that food and liquids travel through when they are swallowed, digested, absorbed, and leave the body as feces
Mouth: the organ for the assimilation
Apart from the entrance of food, the presence of teeth, tongue and salivary glands makes it an valuable organ in this system.
ESOPHAGUS: muscular organ that connects the pharynx to the stomach.
The swallowed food is moved down in this muscle through the process called peristalsis.
Stomach: a sack like and the most expandable organ in the food tube
STOMACH: inner surface is highly folded, allowing it to collapse when empty and expand as food fills it.
Small Intestine; about 20 feet long and an inch in diameter.
The presence of various enzymes in this organ allows the final digestion or transformation of food particles in their simplest form
SMALL INTESTINE: small particles are absorbed in its velvety tissue lining
This tissue are composed of villi, the finger like projections with capillaries and lacteal inside where the nutrients are absorbed.
LARGE INTESTINE: also known as the large bowel
LARGE INTESTINE: the last part of the gastrointestinal tract and of the digestive system in vertebrates.
LARGE INTESTINE: shows how undigested food leaves the digestive tract through the anus. This process is called excretion .
