    Digestive System: Dr. Kochuthresia Jose

    The digestive system breaks down food and water into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. It includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and accessory organs like the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Food is broken down by mechanical and chemical digestion involving enzymes, acids, and other secretions. Nutrients are then absorbed along the small intestine and remaining waste is eliminated as stool through the large intestine and anus. Yoga poses like child pose, forward bends and twists can help stimulate organs of the digestive system.

    DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

    DR. KOCHUTHRESIA JOSE


    INTRODUCTION
     Body is living with the nutrients from food & water.
     Nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins &
    minerals.
     Digestive system is the only system meant for digestion
    & absorption of food & water.
     It is also called as Gastro intestinal tract /GI
    tract/Digestive tract.
     This a tract starts from Mouth, ends in Anus.
     Organs of this system are- mouth, esophagus, stomach,
    duodenum, intestines (small & large) rectum& anal
    canal. Also includes accessory organs like liver, gall
    bladder & pancreas.
     After digestion protein break into Amino acids, fats
    break into fatty acids & glycerol, and carbohydrates
    break into simple sugars.
     Digestion means in simpler words breaking of food &
    water in simpler forms which makes it easier for
    absorption.
     Various enzymes ,hormones ,acid ,and other secretions
    also facilitates digestion & absorption.
     Movement of food & water through GIT is by
    peristalsis.
     The final product of digestion is stools (excreta) which
    will be eliminated out from anus.
    MOUTH
     Organ for chewing, grinding, moisturizing,
    and reducing the particle size of the gross food.
    Parts are
    A. Teeth - ( 32, with hardest material dentin, for
    reducing particle size)
    B. Tongue – Muscular organ with papillae for taste
    perception- sweet, sour, bitter & pungent ) ,also
    makes the food easier for swallowing.
    C. Salivary glands – moisturizes food ,makes it
    easier for swallowing & absorption.
    ESOPHAGUS
     Tube like structure which connects mouth with
    stomach.
     It helps to transport chewed food to stomach.
     Lower part is closed by a sphincter (esophageal
    sphincter) which prevents the back flow of food from
    stomach.
    No absorption happens in this area
    STOMACH
     Most distended part of GIT.
     Muscular organ which stores and digests food passed
    from esophagus.
     Contains most concentrated acid –hydrochloric acid
    for digestion.
     Chewed food is now called as “CHYME’’
     Digestion starts from here with the help of HCL &
    Digestive enzymes of gastric juice.
    SMALL INTESTINE
     Longest coiled part.
     3 parts – duodenum, jejunum, & ileum.
     Duodenum – 1st part to which liver (bile) &
    pancreas (pancreatic juice) secretes their
    secretions.
    PH will be alkaline.
     Jejunum - 2nd part which is highly coiled.
     Ileum - 3rd part ,continues with large intestine.
     Maximum absorption takes places in this area.
     Absorption is by intestinal villas ( finger like
    projections).
    LARGE INTESTINE
     More water absorption occurs here.
     Area for Formation of stools .
     Rich bacterial flora helps in absorption and formation
    of stools.
     after complete digestion & absorption the waste will
    be excreted out as stools through rectum and anal
    canal.

    Importance in yoga
     Main system in which yoga acts very effectively.
     For each organ site separate asanas are their.
     Examples ;
    1. Paschimothana asana (seated forward bend)
    2. Baala asana (child pose)
    3. Pavana mukta asana (wind relieving pose)
    4. Trokona asana(triangle pose)ardhamatsyendr asana
    (half lord of the fishes pose)
