The digestion system breaks down food. Digestion begins in the mouth and ends in the small intestine.
The mouth breaks down food by both mechanical (chewing) and chemical (enzymes in saliva) processes. This helps to physically and chemically break down food into smaller molecules that the body can absorb. Saliva also helps to moisten food and initiate the digestion process.
The stomach mixes the food with acid which helps to break down the proteins and complex carbohydrates so the body can utilize them.
Digestive SystemHow it works in the bodyThe digestive system breaks down food into nutrients or glucose that the body and the body cells can use. Which leads onto stuff about the Circulatory System and The Skeletal System. Hope this helpsKawey8:)
Hydrochloric acid in the human body helps to break down food in the stomach, aiding in digestion and the absorption of nutrients. It also helps to kill harmful bacteria that may be present in the food we eat.
Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing cells to take in glucose from the bloodstream. Enzymes secreted by the digestive system help break down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body for energy.
Mixing food with saliva helps to break down carbohydrates in the food into simpler sugars, which can then be detected by taste buds. Saliva also contains enzymes that aid in digestion, making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients from the food we eat.
Yes, one example of good bacteria in your body is the bacteria in your digestive system that helps break down the food that you eat.
Your body breaks down food so that it can get the nutrients into usable form.
Most food needs to be broken down into smaller molecules so that it can be absorbed by the body. These smaller molecules can then be transported through the blood to cells where they are used for energy, growth, and repair. Breaking down food also helps to release nutrients and make them accessible for the body to utilize.
