    Study Notes

    Digestive System Overview

    • The primary role of the stomach in the digestive system is to break down food.
    • The stomach aids in breaking down fats.

    Digestion Process

    • After nutrients are absorbed in the small intestines, wastes move next to the large intestine.
    • Food is further broken down and mixed with chemicals from the gallbladder in the small intestine.

    Functions of Organs

    • The esophagus serves as a passageway for food to move from the mouth to the stomach.
    • The liver further processes some nutrients after absorption in the small intestine.
    • The small intestine is responsible for absorbing more nutrients and mixing with chemicals from the gall bladder.
    • The large intestine is the final step in the digestive process before waste leaves the body.

    Nutrient Absorption

    • Digested nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine.

    Meal Transportation

    • Food is carried from the mouth to the stomach through the esophagus.

    Organ Interactions

    • The mouth interacts with the environment to take in food.
    • Tissues contribute to the functioning of organs in the digestive system.

    Digestion Mechanisms

    • Mechanical digestion involves breaking down food using physical movements.
    • Chemical digestion involves breaking down food using chemicals.

    Stomach Functions

    • The main function of the stomach during digestion is to break down food.
    • The stomach stores swallowed food and liquid.

    Waste Elimination

    • After passing through the rectum, waste is eliminated from the body through the anus.
