    Study Notes

    Digestive Physiology Overview

    The digestive process is essential for breaking down food into molecules that can be absorbed by our body's cells. This process occurs in several stages within the gastrointestinal tract (GI), which spans from the mouth through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and finally anal canal. Here's how it works:

    1. Mechanical Digestion: Food enters your mouth where teeth chop, tear, or crush food into smaller pieces, known as mechanical digestion. Salivary enzymes also begin the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates during this stage.

    2. Chemical Digestion: As the chewed food moves past the pharynx into the esophagus, it reaches the stomach. Stomach acids continue the chemical digestion process while churning and mixing the food. Hydrochloric acid and pepsin break proteins apart, creating simpler structures called peptides.

    3. Absorption: From the stomach, partially digested food continues along the GI tract via muscle contractions called peristalsis. It passes through the small intestines and the large intestines before reaching the colon. The intestines extract nutrients such as fats, sugars, starches, vitamins, minerals, water, salts, amino acids, and other chemicals from the digested food. These nutrients pass into capillaries lining the small intestine and eventually enter the bloodstream.

    4. Elimination: Any remaining undigested materials move into the large intestine, where further absorption takes place. Water is reabsorbed by the walls of the colon, making stool more solid. If needed, excess fluids are removed through osmosis. Finally, waste products exit the body through defecation.

    In summary, the digestive process transforms ingested food particles into absorbable nutrient compounds, allowing us to derive energy and necessary components for growth, repair, and maintenance of organs and tissues.
