Question
Chapter 25, Problem 12RFT
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The food is ingested through the mouth and is masticated by the teeth. It is then propelled into the esophagus and is moved down to the stomach by peristalsis movement. The digestion of food occurs in the stomach and the small organic molecules are absorbed by the epithelial surface of the small intestine. The undigested food is eliminated from the body.

There are several processes that take place from the moment food enters our mouth until it is completely digested and used for energy.
Using approximately 400-500 words, describe in detail and in order of process the mechanical (stomach and intestine)and chemical (gastric acid and enzymes) digestion of eating a grilled chicken sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomatoes. Note what role the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver play in digestion of the ingredients? From what ingredients is your body deriving its energy and how many basic calories from the macronutrients ingested?
Include at least two scholarly references (using APA formatting and style) to guide your answers (note that you can use your textbook as one of your references).
In which part of the digestive system the absorption of following substances takes place?(a) Certain drugs(b) Glucose, fructose and fatty acids(c) Water, some minerals and drugs(d) Simple sugar and alcohol

- In order for the food to be processed and absorbed in an optimal way, there are several feedback mechanisms. One of the most important starts when the food reaches the small intestine, this is sometimes also called the intestinal phase. Describe what happens if the food that reaches the duodenum contains a lot of fat and a lot of protein. The answer must include: Which different mechanisms are affected by the respective stimuli (fat and protein) and how (increases or decreases the activity). What cell type senses stimuli and how these cells react. Which different signaling pathways (including the signaling substances involved) control the different mechanisms that are affected by the respective stimuli. Feel free to draw.arrow_forwardDescribe the digestion and absorption of each macromolecule (Proteins, Lipids (large and small), Carbohydrates, DNA/RNA)arrow_forwardDigestion takes place in a long tube-like canal called the alimentary canal, or the digestive tract. Food travels through these organs in the following order: 1) Mouth, gullet, stomach, small intestine,large intestine and rectum 2) Mouth, oesophagus, stomach, large intestine,small intestine and rectum 3) Mouth, stomach, oesophagus, small intestine,large intestine and rectum 4) Mouth, stomach, gullet, small intestine,large intestine and rectumarrow_forward
- Which of the following regions of the digestive tube is associated with the function of "mechanical" digestion? 1. mouth 2. esophagus 3. stomach 4. liver 5. large intestine (colon) Choose from the following: (A) 1 and 2 (B) 1, 2, and 3 (C) 2 and 3 (D) 1 and 3 (E) 2 and 4 (F) 3 and 4 (G) 3, 4, and 5arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT an enzyme secreted into the small intestine as an aid to chemical digestion: A) Bile B) Lipase D) Amylasearrow_forwardYou will only describe how proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are digested in the body. The goal is to get to a point where there are only amino acids(from proteins), fatty acids (from lipids), and glucose (from starch). Enzymes are only part of chemical digestion. Provide a simple description of Ingestion, Movement, Mechanical digestions, absorption, and elimination related to your food. Lastly describe what glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids will be used once they are absorbed into the bloodstream.arrow_forward
