How does the digesting system work?

Answer 1

you eat food then it grinds using your teeth. The trachea and the Esophagus are jointed so there's the pharynx. It closes if the food is going down. If there's no pharynx the food will enter your lungs.Next the food will go to the stomach and mix with chemicals.It will be there for 2-3 hours. After that it will pass the intestines .small intestine absorbs nutrients and the large one absorbs liquid. Now it will pass to the rectum then to the anus and your feces is out

Answer 2

The seven main organs of the digestive system is the stomach, mouth, esophagus, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.

• You use your mouth to chew your food.
• You swallow your food which goes down your esophagus.
• Your food goes down to your stomach, where juices such as bile and pancreatic juice come and break down the bits of food into a dense liquid called chyme.
• It goes through the small intestine, which pulls all of the nutrients from it into the blood.
• Then it goes into the large intestine, where it sucks all the water out of the chyme, to make solid waste.
• It is then stored in your rectum.
• Later, you dispose it from your anus as feces.

Answer 3

There are two parts to it: the mechanical and the chemical digestion.

The mechanical digestion has the grinding of the mouth, the churning of the stomach, and the squeezing of the small intestine. The chemical digestion has the enzymes working to break the bonds between the molecules for absorption.

• When the food first enters the mouth, teeth and the tongue helps to chew the food to small bits, mixed with saliva, which contains the salivary amylase. The amylase works to digest carbohydrates and there are different types of them. This mass of food is known as a bolus and is then passed down to the stomach.
• Once it reaches the stomach, the sphincters close and the hydrochloric acid is released. This hydrochloric acid not only acts as an agent in destroying any foreign pathogens that might have passed through the mouth, but it also acts as a trigger for the inactive protein pepsinogen. Once activated, they become pepsin, the protein digesting enzymes. When that's done, the pyloric sphincter leading to the duodenum opens. Once it opens, the mass of food, now called chyme, can proceed to the small intestine.
• Since the chyme still has a great deal of hydrochloric acid, bicarbonate is released from the pancreas and gallbladder to neutralize it.
• Here in the small intestine is where most of the digestion occurs. In here, various digestive enzymes are released by the pancreas to break down lipid, carbohydrates, and even nucleic acid. The liver and gallbladder also adds in bile salt, which removes fat globules for easier breakdown by enzyme lipase. This pool of liquid is continually broken down and digested throughout the small intestine.
• Once it reaches the large intestine, the digestion stop as only the small intestine can absorb nutrients. The large intestine helps with absorption of water, to help make a solid fecal matter. In our stomach, there presides a bacteria E. Coli, which eats what was undigested by our body, and in return gives off vitamin K for us to use.
• When the feces is passed to the rectum, it is passed out through the anus as waste.
