| The digestive system is another way of saying the stomach.
your digestive system is a series of a hollow organs that join into a twisted
tube that leads from your mouth to your anus. In side this tube there is
tiny little glands that help you digest your food properly. When you digest
it involves the mixture of food, the way it breaks down into small pieces.
When you start to digest it contains to chew and swallow and then it goes
into your small intestines. Your stomach has muscle all over that makes
the inside of your stomach the walls will move. The typical movement of
the esophagus, stomach, and the intestine is called peristalsis. The action
of peristalsis looks like an ocean wave moving through the muscle. When
the food enters the stomach which has three mechanical tasks to do.
First the stomach must store the food and swallow the food and liquid.
The esophagus
is the organ into which the swallowed the food gets pushed into the stomach.
It connects the throat above with the stomach below. The food approaches
the closed ring, the surrounding muscles must relax and allow the
food to pass.
The glands that act first are in the mouth the salivary glands. Salivary
production by these glands contain an enzyme that begins to digest the
starch from the food that we eat and brings it in to smaller molecules.
After the food empties the food and it s juice into the small intestine
and then the organs mix.
In conclusion I find it is a very important to know about the digestive
system and how it works. |
