Journey Of The Cheese Sandwich
The function of the tongue is to move the food arond
The function of the teeth is to break the food down into smaller bits
Then it goes out the anus, where the fices leave the body
Describe why the body needs this food
Cheese
Protein- Is important for growth and development, and helping to build and repair tissues of the body
Calcium- Is important for the health and for the bones
Vitamin A- is important for vision
Bread
Carbohydrate:
without it, muscle tissue breakdown will occur,
fatigue will set in,
and brain power will diminish,
How are enzymes get involved in digestion?
This is an important consideration when considering enzymes. First, amylase is contained in everyone's saliva. Amylase is the enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates. When you chew carbs/breads, it becomes sweeter as you chew because the mechanical action of your teeth and amylase in the saliva are breaking the carbohydrates down to their component sugars.
In the stomach there is an enzyme called pepsin. Pepsin is breaks the bonds between the amino acids of protein, the body then absorbs the individual amino acids and uses them to built thousands of proteins needed throughout the body.
Journey Of The Cheese Sandwich
Small Intestine
Mouth
-The mouth is the first part of the digestive system. It is where that the food is chewed (with the teeth) and with the addition of saliva which contains the enzyme amylase the food is crushed and made small enough to swallow with help from the lubricating saliva. It is formed into a small ball and passes down the Esophagus to the stomach.
This organ produces bile which is used to break down large fat globules into smaller droplets
As it reaches the small intestine, about 90 percent of digestion occurs. The body also absorbs nutrients from the food in the small intestine. The nutrients are then carried into the bloodstream.
Esophagus
Large Intestine
Water from the waste food is absorbed in to large intestine
The function of the large intestine is to transport waste and re-absorption of water from it before it is separated.
In the digestive system, the oesophagus pushes food into the stomach by strong waves of contractions along its muscular walls
And the muscles are that powerful, that you can eat backwards and the food will still go through
Stomach
Your stomach is found at the end of your esophagus and is where the food comes to an end and is digested. The food is then made into chyme.The stomach receives chewed food then continues to chemically break it down into tiny pieces where it creates more surface area for your small intestine to absorb nutrients.
