When the sandwich is put into the mouth, the salivary glands moisturize it in enzymes which help break down the food. The teeth will chew the food up, which also helps break the sandwich up. The sandwich is then swallowed and moves on to the next stage of digestion.]]> 2019-04-10 21:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350556397 tlrdelyea451 https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350559426 Once the sandwich is swallowed, it moves down the esophagus with the help of peristalsis, which is a sort of contraction that helps the ball of food that was swallowed be pushed down into the next stage of digestion. After this stage, the sandwich is a ball of mush (food bolus).]]> 2019-04-10 21:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350559426 tlrdelyea451 https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350559654 Once the food bolus reaches the stomach, it will undergo mixing and grinding due to the vast amount of enzymes in the gastric juices produced in the stomach. These items help break down the food even more and once it is done, it is a liquid/paste-like consistency and then moves on to the fourth stage of digestion.]]> 2019-04-10 21:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350559654 tlrdelyea451 https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350559759 The food bolus will make its way to the small intestine. First, the food bolus will travel through the duodenum (the shortest section of the small intestine) where it will be broken down even more by enzymes. After that, it will enter the section of the jejunum.  The jejunum is much like the duodenum but has many of its own functions as well. It consists of projections called villi, which help expand the surface area of the intestine. It also absorbs and transports the nutrients in the cheese sandwich (carbohydrates and proteins). The ileum is the last section of the small intestine and it also includes villi. It also absorbs anything that the jejunum left, such as bile salts. In this last section of the small intestine, the food bolus is broken up and passed to the next stage of digestion.]]> 2019-04-10 21:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350559759 tlrdelyea451 https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350559996 The large intestine is received whatever is left over after being passed through the small intestine; it is the leftover waste that the large intestine has to deal with. This waste, once known as the cheese sandwich, is passed through the large intestine much like the way the food was passed through the esophagus - the help from peristalsis. The waste enters the cecum, which is connected to the ileum. It then travels upward in the ascending colon, crossways through the transverse colon, downwards through the descending colon, and finally stored in the sigmoid colon where it waits to be released through the next stage of digestion.]]> 2019-04-10 21:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350559996 tlrdelyea451 https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350560099 The rectum is the next stage of digestion where the bodily waste will have to pass through to release from the anus. When the waste moves into the rectum from the sigmoid colon, it starts the movement of bowels. This leads to the very last stage of digestion.]]> 2019-04-10 21:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350560099 tlrdelyea451 https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350560353 When the bowel movements have started, the waste (cheese sandwich) leaves the body through the anus. ]]> 2019-04-10 21:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350560353 tlrdelyea451 https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350562137 The pancreas is a producer of enzymes and spreads those enzymes to the small intestine to help break down the nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) in the food. ]]> 2019-04-10 21:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350562137 tlrdelyea451 https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350562303 The liver’s main job is to make and produce bile. It also cleanses the blood coming from the small intestine. ]]> 2019-04-10 21:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350562303 tlrdelyea451 https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350562431 The gallbladder is where the bile produced by the liver is stored.  ]]> 2019-04-10 21:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tlrdelyea451/bkupxujld1fu/wish/350562431
