Absorption
the process by which food material are mixed together
and propelled within the GI tract.

of digestion are absorbed within the small intestine.
the chemical and mechanical process of degrading food
material into small particles.
the act of taking something (food, medicine, liquid,
poison etc.) into the body through the mouth.
the process by which undigested food particle are
expelled out of the body.
the process by which chemical enzymes are secreted by
the Digestive System aiding Digestion.
Consider this statement:
"Gastric bypass surgery condemns the recipient to starve to death over many years."
Using your understanding of the digestive system, defend or refute the statement.
Include:
200-300 words
impact of gastric bypass on homeostasis
diagram of the digestive system to support your position

- Name the major organs of the digestive system. Digestion (di-jest′yun) is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of foods and the absorption of the resulting nutrients by cells. Mechanical digestion breaks large pieces of food into smaller ones without altering their chemical composition. Chemical digestion breaks down larger nutrient molecules into simpler chemicals. The organs of the digestive system carry out these processes. The digestive system consists of the alimentary canal (al″i-men′tar-e kah-nal′), extending from the mouth to the anus, and several accessory organs that secrete into the canal substances that are used in digestion. The alimentary canal (from beginning to end) includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. The accessory organs include the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas (fig. 15.1; see reference plates 4, 5, and 6). Overall, the digestive system is a tube, open at both ends, that has an…arrow_forwardList three ways in which proteins or their digestion products can be absorbed from the small intestine.arrow_forwardDiscuss the mechanical and chemical digestion of starch,protein, and fat, describing all the steps of each.arrow_forward
