Major Physiological processes of
Digestion
1 .


Ingestion+
: controlled intake of food into the moutn , involving
selection manipulation by teeth , tongue , and lips
7 :


Digestion : MouM :
mechanical and chemical breakdown
↑SA

chewing :
,
making it easier for enzymes to react

amylase produced by salivary glands
: to
beigin
breakdown of
complex carbohydrates

,3 .
Propulsion : movementof food + digestive materials turn
the
digestive tractcoordinated reflex
swallowing involving
↳ : mouth , throcty,
and to move food down
esophages
↳ peristalsis : rhythmic contractions of muscular walls
that propel food-
digestive materials forward
4 Bile :.

chemical breakdown ,
produced by the liver + stored in
The
gallbladder
↳ emulsipies fut - > did in digestion
S .
Stomach : mechanical + chemical breakdown
powerful contractions that mix food + gastric
churning
↳ :


juices(breaks down protein /But
enzymes pepsin- gastric lipage

Stomach Acid Hel denatures activates

1 Defacation
.
:
rectum senses feces ->
triggers urge to defecate
faces the
sphincter relaxes ,

↳ anal to exit urus

sensory evaluation : allows body to assess the food before it is
swallowed - >
tasce/ texture/temperature
↳ taste : faste buds (clusters ofsensory cells) , detect
chemicals-> brain =
Plavers
texture determines of food,

sensory receptors :
, sapety
stimulates digestive reflexes ,
including saliva production
