Why do enzymes in saliva stop working before reaching the stomach?

Enzymes in saliva, such as amylase, primarily break down starches into sugars. These enzymes get inactivated by stomach acid, as the acidic environment disrupts their structure and ability to function effectively. Therefore, their activity decreases once they reach the stomach, where the acidic pH is around 2.

What happens if your digestive system stops?

Digestive system consists of many organs; both large and small. Different organs have different functions and hence, play their part when necessary. Now if the digestive system was to stop working, then the organs taking part in the digestion process should stop working as well. Here are the list of organs along with their major functions during in digestion: > Mouth [chewing], > Salivary glands [lubrication of food], > Oesophagus [transportation of bolus from mouth to stomach], > Lungs [metabolism; oxygen from lungs helps in the breakdown of food materials/ bolus], > Stomach [major digestion point], > Liver [produce digestive juices], > Pancreas [produce enzymes], > Gall Bladder [bile production], > Small Intestine [major food absorption], > Large Intestine [water absorption and excretion of solid waste materials], > Rectum [let the person know about the evacuation of stool and holding it till evacuation], > Anus [control of stool evacuation with the help of sphincter muscles] So basically, if the digestive system was to stop working, then the above given organs along with some other (unmentioned) organs have to stop as well. The result might be horrifying. But a logical result will be choking, hormones deficiency, loss of weight, thirst, imbalance in immune system, etc and maybe more graver conditions.
