    The document summarizes the key aspects of the human digestive system and digestive process. It describes the four main stages of digestion: ingestion, digestion, absorption, and egestion. It outlines the organs that make up the digestive system and their functions in breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. The document also discusses the physical and chemical breakdown of food that occurs through processes like mastication and the actions of enzymes and acids.

    FOOD
    The nutrients
    contained in food is
    essential for normal
    cell function and for

    DIGESTIVE PROCESS

    1.Ingestion
    2.Digestion
    3.Absorption
    4.Egestion

    INGESTION
    It is the process of
    taking food or drink
    into the body

    DIGESTION
    It is the breaking down of
    complex nutrient molecules
    mainly carbohydrates, fats and
    proteins into simpler
    onesDigestion is the primarily
    enzymatic processes by which

    PART OF THE FOOD


    oPhysical,
    BREAKDOWN
    performed by the teeth,ARE
    which cut:

    and chew food and the stomach which churns


    it
    oMechanically by cutting, grinding , chopping
    and crushing.
    oThe rest of the process is chemical; food is
    converted into simpler forms by the action of
    enzymes, acids and salts.

    ABSORPTION
    It is the movement of
    the products of
    digestion, such as
    glucose or amino acids,
    from the alimentary

    EGESTION
    It is the elimination of
    indigestible material, such
    as fiber, as well as dead
    cells and bacteria from
    the body in the form of

    DIGESTIVE
    SYSTEM

    It is a group of organs that:


    1. Breaks down food into chemical
    components that the body can absorb
    2. Use for energy
    3. Use for building and repairing cells
    and tissues, together with the accessory
    glands (endocrine and exocrine)

    Organs of the gastrointestinal


    (GI) tract are the mouth, pharynx,
    esophagus, stomach, small
    intestine, and large intestine.
    Accessory digestive organs are
    the teeth, tongue, salivary glands,
    liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

    FOOD IS DIGESTED
    INTO TWO WAYS:
    1. Intracellular Digestion
    Inside the cell particularly in the
    lysosomes, characteristics of a
    unicellular organism
    2. Intercellular Digestion

    LIPS

    The fleshy folds around the entrance of the


    mouth
    Externally skin
    Internally mucous membrane
    Main substructure: orbicularis oris or
    striated muscles and connective tissues
    Contains: eleidin

    FUNCTIONS OF
    LIPS
    KeepingTHE
    food in the mouth
    Helping to prevent the food from falling
    out during the process of mastification
    Helping to produce speech and other
    sounds (whistling)
    Drinking (especially with straw)
    Smaller muscles at the corner of the lips

    CHEEKS
    Fleshy part of the either side of the
    face below the eye and between the
    nose and ear
    Lined with mucous membrane and
    stratified squamous, nonkeratinizing type of epithelium
    Main substance: striated muscles

    MOUTH (ORAL /
    BUCCAL CAVITY)

    Where food is broken


    down for swallowing,
    composed of lips,
    cheeks, tongue and

    SWALLOWING OR
    DEGLUTITION
    Process by which food or liquid which
    is conveyed from the mouth is cut and
    ground by the teeth and mixed with
    saliva, the tongue pushes it back of
    the mouth to the stomach via an
    esophagus.

    Masticati
    on
    (Process
    of

    1. The canines and


    incisors (front teeth)
    shear the food
    2. Tongue pushes the
    food between the
    upper and lower
    premolars and molars
    (back teeth) to be
    ground by side-byside and circular
