When you take in food, it gets physically broken down into smaller pieces by your teeth. Your salivary glands are triggered and saliva is released to moisten and lubricate the food. This is where the fun begins. Your swallowing kicks in and moves the food from your mouth into your esophagus. Contractions from a muscle called the peristalsis transports the food down this tube and into another, more familiar muscle, the stomach. Your stomach churns your food and mixes it with naturally produced bodily chemicals. Gastric juices, acidic fluids, and enzymes breakdown your food at a molecular level and turns it into a creamy paste called chyme. At the bottom of your stomach, there’s a little gateway called the pyloric sphincter which control the entry of the chyme into your intestine. At the start of your small intestine, fluids lubricate the chyme and neutralize its acidity. Enzymes further break the chyme down and digest the proteins, fatty acids, and carbohydrates present. These smaller molecules are then able to absorbed by the body into the bloodstream. After all the useful stuff, like vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, are absorbed from the food, what’s left are watery, indigestible components of the food. Those components are passed into the large intestines. The large intestines then extract water and electrolytes from the indigestible food matter. And then send it further down the tube. Which sends a response for your body to head to the bathroom. source:pzizz
