Title : Digestive System

 

Today we learnt about the digestive system which starts from the lip to the gum, teeth and tongue .

we spoke about the PH in the stomach to be 1.3 -1.5 as it is always acidic the the human stomach.

we learnt about the Transverse colon which is triangular in shape as well as the Sigmoid colon which is S in shape

We also learnt in details how food is ingested in the human body which is taking in food through the digestive system and Propulsion which is the way food is move around in the body.

Also the way food which can not be broken down in the digestive system is eliminated from the body through defecation .

The stomach is 15 -25 cm long and it is divided into Fundus, body and pylorus

 

We learnt that the pancras goes behind the stomach, and that most absorption of nutrients are done in the small intestine , and must go through the liver to be absorbed to the blood stream.

Going forward I now know how the digestive system in the human body works from when food is ingested through the mouth and go down to the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed  then go through the liver to be absorbed into the blood stream.
