Digestive System | Saba Mam

  • Breakdown of large complex food molecule into simple small food molecules so that energy can be produced
  • 3 Digestion
    • Carbs(Starch) > Glucose
    • Protein > Amino Acid
    • Fat > Fatty Acid/Monoglyceride

Ingestion

  • Intake of food

Digestion

  • Mouth
    • Mechanical Digestion: Chewing & Swallowing
    • Chemical Digestion:
      • Salaiva + Food = break down composition of food
        • Bolus(Semi solid): It is the product of final digestion of our mouth
  • Stomach
    • Starch >> maltose
    • Fat >> Diglyceride
    • Protein >> peptide
      • Chyme(Semi liquid): It is the product of final digestion of our Stomach
  • Small Intestine
    • Maltose >> Glucose
