F. Developing mastery The processes of digestion include six activities: ingestion, propulsion, mechanical or
(leads to Formative physical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption, and defecation.
Assessment 3)
(EXPLAIN) The first of these processes, ingestion, refers to the entry of food into the alimentary canal
through the mouth. There, the food is chewed and mixed with saliva, which contains
enzymes that begin breaking down the carbohydrates in the food plus some lipid digestion
via lingual lipase. Chewing increases the surface area of the food and allows an
appropriately sized bolus to be produced.
Food leaves the mouth when the tongue and pharyngeal muscles propel it into the
esophagus. This act of swallowing, the last voluntary act until defecation, is an example
of propulsion, which refers to the movement of food through the digestive tract. It includes
both the voluntary process of swallowing and the involuntary process of
peristalsis. Peristalsis consists of sequential, alternating waves of contraction and
relaxation of alimentary wall smooth muscles, which act to propel food. These waves also
play a role in mixing food with digestive juices. Peristalsis is so powerful that foods and
liquids you swallow enter your stomach even if you are standing on your head.
In chemical digestion, starting in the mouth, digestive secretions break down complex
food molecules into their chemical building blocks (for example, proteins into separate
amino acids). These secretions vary in composition, but typically contain water, various
enzymes, acids, and salts. The process is completed in the small intestine.
Food that has been broken down is of no value to the body unless it enters the bloodstream
and its nutrients are put to work. This occurs through the process of absorption, which
takes place primarily within the small intestine. There, most nutrients are absorbed from the
lumen of the alimentary canal into the bloodstream through the epithelial cells that make up
the mucosa. Lipids are absorbed into lacteals and are transported via the lymphatic vessels
to the bloodstream (the subclavian veins near the heart). The details of these processes will
be discussed later.
In defecation, the final step in digestion, undigested materials are removed from the body
as feces.
