11Digestion has two parts

1. [blank_start]Mechanical means[blank_end]

b. [blank_start]Peristalsis[blank_end] – wavelike muscular contractions of the GI tract that push its contents along. Involuntary

2. [blank_start]Chemical means[blank_end]
a. [blank_start]HCl, (Hydrochloric acid)[blank_end] – in your stomach! The walls of your stomach make sure it doesn’t touch your other organs.

12Steps of [blank_start]ingestion[blank_end]
[blank_start]2[blank_end] Food is mixed and moistened by [blank_start]saliva[blank_end], which also keep your teeth clean.
[blank_start]4[blank_end] [blank_start]Bolus[blank_end] of food is propelled to the stomach by [blank_start]peristalsis[blank_end]. [blank_start]Peristalsis[blank_end] will make this ball smaller.
[blank_start]3[blank_end] Food is chewed and rolled into a ball called a [blank_start]bolus[blank_end]. Bolus is swallowed.
This is all [blank_start]involuntary[blank_end], as long as you’re healthy. If you are unhealthy, you can have many complications with your [blank_start]digestion[blank_end] and even lose your ability to [blank_start]salivate[blank_end] and eventually your teeth.
[blank_start]1[blank_end] Put food in your [blank_start]mouth[blank_end].

13[blank_start]Digestion[blank_end] processes
Stomach time
[blank_start]Chyme[blank_end] – food mixed with [blank_start]saliva[blank_end], or [blank_start]bolus[blank_end] that is now a [blank_start]semi-liquid mass[blank_end] after being transformed by [blank_start]peristalsis[blank_end] and [blank_start]your saliva[blank_end]
Chyme activates the hormone [blank_start]gastrin[blank_end], which stimulates the release of [blank_start]HCl[blank_end].
HCl will make the chyme more and more [blank_start]liquid[blank_end].

[blank_start]Small intestine[blank_end] (final stages of digestion)
[blank_start]Secretin[blank_end] (hormone) – causes release of [blank_start]sodium bicarbonate[blank_end], [blank_start]increasing the pH of chyme[blank_end] back to neutral levels
[blank_start]Cholecystokinin[blank_end] (hormone) – [blank_start]causes release of bile to emulsify fat[blank_end]
[blank_start]Pancreatic[blank_end] enzymes for nutrients – change chyme into absorbable [blank_start]nutrients[blank_end]. Example: amolase

4. Dbolus
5. Esemi-liquid mass
6. Fperistalsis
7. Gyour saliva

[blank_start]Facilitated diffusion[blank_end] – nutrient absorption with the help of a [blank_start]carrier molecule[blank_end]

[blank_start]Active Transport[blank_end] – nutrient absorption with the help of [blank_start]carrier molecule and energy[blank_end]

[blank_start]Transportation[blank_end] – process by which the body moves nutrients to target [blank_start]body tissues[blank_end]
[blank_start]Portal circulation[blank_end] – directs [blank_start]nutrients[blank_end] in the blood from [blank_start]the small intestine[blank_end] to [blank_start]the liver[blank_end]
[blank_start]Lymphatic system[blank_end] – for [blank_start]fats. Fats[blank_end] travel through [blank_start]lymph[blank_end] and enter circulating blood near the heart
