Excellent! These are the parts of the
digestive system.

until it is finished)

 Mouth. Digestion starts at the

very beginning, with food
being chewed in the mouth.
Food is broken down into
smaller pieces and the saliva
in the mouth begins digesting
it. An enzyme in saliva called
amylase breaks certain
starches down into the smaller
sugars, maltose, and dextrin.
 Esophagus. The esophagus
is a tube that's inside the
throat, behind the windpipe.
After food is chewed and
swallowed, it travels down
through the esophagus and
to the stomach. The muscles
in the esophagus contract to
move food along, which is
called peristalsis.
 Stomach. After the food is
deposited in the stomach, the
digestive process continues.
The food is mixed with the
acids and enzymes that are
secreted from the stomach
wall. After the food is
thoroughly broken down, it is
moved along into the small
intestine.
 Small Intestine. The small
intestine is a long tube where
most of the vitamins and
nutrients are absorbed from
food into the bloodstream.
More enzymes are added into
the small intestine as the food
moves through to help
facilitate the process. The
small intestine is composed of
three parts, the duodenum,
the jejunum, and the ileum.

 Large Intestine. After moving

through the small intestine,
the food is now partially
digested and mostly in a
liquid form as it passes
through a sphincter called
the ileocecal valve
and enters the large intestine.
The large intestine is where
much of the water is absorbed
from the waste material. By
the time the stool reaches the
end of the large intestine, it is
in a more solid form. The
sections of the large intestine
are called the cecum,
ascending colon, transverse
colon, descending colon, and
sigmoid colon.
 Rectum. At the end of the
large intestine is the rectum, a
reservoir that holds stool until
it can be passed out of the
body. When the rectum
becomes full with stool, it
gives off a signal to the brain
that it's time to go to the
bathroom.
 Anus. The anus has two sphincters
that serve to hold stool inside the
body until it is time to pass it.
When a person consciously relaxes
their external sphincter, the stool
can then leave the body.

Very good question class. Before I’ll
answer that question let me first talk (Class listens
about ingestion so that you will be distinctively)
able to picture out in your mind the 5
stages of food processes involved
in the digestive system. Firstly,
ingestion is the intake of food from
various sources in the environment.

thru the esophagus.
Digestion then takes place. It is the
process of breaking down of complex
food into soluble form by the action
of digestive juices and enzymes (ex.
Salivary amylase, insulin, bile). Once
it is turned into simpler form, the
digested food then enters into our
bloodstream and it is what we call as
absorption. It is then utilized by the
cells to produce energy and building
materials in the process called
assimilation. And lastly, Defecation
or egestion or elimination is the
process through which the
undigested food, dead cells and waste
products are thrown out of the body
in the form of feces/ stool being
deposited shortly in the rectum and
exits thru the anus.
