Question

draw the level diagram of human digestive system with the help of this diagram describe the process oof digestion of food in human

Answer 1

Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble foodmolecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.,,
The digestion process can be divided into different stages, such as digestion in the:

Oral cavity

Stomach

Small intestine

Large intestine

Digestion includes a complex combination of mechanical and chemical processes. Some of the activities in the process include ingestion and propulsion of food, mechanical or physical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption, and defecation.

Answer 2

■ MOUTH:-

♤ FLUID CALLED SALIVA SECRETED BY THE SALIVARY GLANDS.

♤ THE SALIVA CONTAINS AN ENZYME CALLED SALIVARY AMYLASE.

♤ FUNCTION :- BREAK DOWN STARCH INTO COMPLEX MOLECULE TO GIVE SUGAR.

HELP IN MOISTENS THE FOOD EASY FOR CHEWING AND SWALLOWING

■ OESOPHAGUS:-

♤ THE CANAL HAS MUSCLES THAT CONTRACT RHYTHMICALLY TO PUSH THE FOOD FORWARD & THIS MOVEMENT OF FOOD IS CALLED PERISTALTIC MOVEMENT WHICH OCCURS ALONG THE G.UT.

■ STOMACH:-

♤ GASTRIC GLANDS ARE PRESENT IN STOMACH.

♤ IT RELEASE HYDROCHLORIC ACID (HCL).

♤ FUNCTION:- KILL HARMFUL BACTERIA THAT ENTERS WITH THE FOOD.

MAKES THE MEDIUM ALKALINE.

♤ PEPSIN:- THEY ARE PROTEIN DIGESTED ENZYME.

♤ MUCUS:- PROTECTS THE INNER LINING OF THE STOMACH FROM THE ACTION OF HYDROCHLORIC ACID.

■ SMALL INTESTINE:-

♤ THE EXIT OF FOOD FROM THE STOMACH IS REGULATED BY A SPHINCTER MUSCLE.

♤ IT HELPS IN DIGESTION OF CARBOHYDRATES, PROTEINS AND FATS.

■ LIVER :- IT SECRETE BILE JUICE IN GALL BLADDER.

♤ FUNCTION:- TURN ACIDIC MEDIUM TO ALKALINE.

EMULSIFY THE ACTION OF FAT.

♤ PANCREAS:- IT SECRETE PANCREATIC JUICE IT CONTAIN ENZYME LIKE:-

♤ TRYPSIN :- HELPS IN BREAK DOWN OF PROTEINS.

♤ LIPASE :- CONVERT FAT INTO FATTY ACID AND GLYCEROL.

■ INTESTINAL JUICE:- THE WALL OF SMALL INTESTINE CONTAIN GLAND WHICH SECRETE INTESTINAL JUICE.

♤ FUNCTION :- CONVERT PROTEINS TO AMINO ACIDS.

♤ COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES INTO GLUCOSE.

♤ FATS INRO FATTY ACIDS AND GLYCEROL.

■ VILLI:- THE INNER LINING OF THE SMALL INTESTINE HAS NUMEROUS FINGER LIKE PROJECTIONS CALLED VILLI.

♤ FUNCTION:- INCREASE THE SURFACE AREA FOR ABSORPTION.

THEY ARE RICHLY SUPPLIED WITH BLOOD VESSELS WHICH TAKE THE ABSORBED FOOD TO EACH AND EVERY CELL OF THE BODY

■ LARGE INTESTINE:-

THE EXIT OF WASTE MATERIAL FROM THE BODY IS REGULATED BY THE ANAL SPHINCTER.
