The first stop of these food is your mouth. Suppose you had a sandwich for your lunch and it is made up of bread, cheese and beef. Now, you have a really good bit of that tasty sandwich. What happen next? you start to chew the sandwich. The movement of your mouth break down the food into smaller pieces which would help your body to further break them down. In your mouth, before you eat it, you feel saliva is secreting. This mouthful of saliva contains a enzyme names amylase, which would help to break down carbs--the bread part of your sandwich. As the name shows, amylase break downs polysaccharide into monosaccharide. Then you will swallow it into your stomach ]]> 2017-02-20 07:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/zsk9851/mwl6bt7zh28b/wish/154874057 zsk9851 https://padlet.com/zsk9851/mwl6bt7zh28b/wish/154875282 Food that already had been chewed would go down from your esophagus into your stomach. In your stomach, HCl is secreted to activate pepsinogen into pepsin. The environment inside of the stomach is very acidic due to gastric juice--about a pH of 2. In there, food are further broken down into even smaller pieces with the smashing activity of the stomach. Proteins from beef starts to break down into monomers called amino acids. After blend with gastric juice, the substance entering the small intestine is called chyme. ]]> 2017-02-20 07:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/zsk9851/mwl6bt7zh28b/wish/154875282 zsk9851 https://padlet.com/zsk9851/mwl6bt7zh28b/wish/154876570 The first part of small intestine is duodenum. Here, food will meet bile from gall bladder. Bile would first neutralize the acidity of chyme to avoid hurting of small intestine. Bile also contain lipase, which would break down fat from food. The secretion of pancreas also goes into duodenum and  it contains three kinds of enzyme: endopeptidase, lipase and amylase. They will help the "monomerizatio" of complex organic materials. Chyme moves down small intestine and enter into the part of ileum. Here, nutrients would be absorbed into blood vessel to be used by body. On the wall of small intestine, there are small villi adn even micro villi on top of each villi that elongate the length of small intestine.]]> 2017-02-20 08:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/zsk9851/mwl6bt7zh28b/wish/154876570 zsk9851 https://padlet.com/zsk9851/mwl6bt7zh28b/wish/154879730 After almost all nutrients are absorbed by small intestine, food enters your big intestine. In small intestine, water is absorbed. With water, soluble content like mineral are also been absorbed. In then end of colon is rectum where waste product are kept. The waste product goes out of body from anus.]]> 2017-02-20 08:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/zsk9851/mwl6bt7zh28b/wish/154879730 mahipauldayaram https://padlet.com/zsk9851/mwl6bt7zh28b/wish/161699270
Impressive understanding of the details of the digestive system, especially the enzymes and their uses.
