A. Background Information for Learners
Digestion –is the process of breaking down
food into nutrients, which the body uses for
energy, growth, and cell repair. It consists
mainly of a long muscular tube called the
digestive tract. This starts at the mouth,
continues via esophagus and stomach, to the
intestines and ends at the anus. The system
also relies on the pancreas, liver and gall
bladder to help digest the food. Accessory

organs of the digestive system include the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver,
gallbladder and pancreas.
Organs of Digestion:
1. Mouth – it is the first part of the digestive system composed of teeth and the
tongue. The tongue and the
teeth are involved in the
digestion of food in the mouth.
There are different kinds of teeth
and performs different functions
in the digestion.
Incisors – front teeth with

teeth-anatomy-labeled.jpg
sharp edges for biting
and cutting the food. Canines – pointed teeth which grip and tear the food.
Premolars – crush and grind the food Molars – flat teeth used for chewing
the food.
2. Esophagus – is a long
muscular tube that connects
the pharynx to the throat to the
stomach. The walls of the
esophagus is lined with smooth
muscles that contracts

rhythmically to move the food through the digestive system in the process of
peristalsis.
3. Stomach – is a large J-shaped
organ at the end of the esophagus,
on the left side of the body. The
capacity of the stomach is 50ml
when empty and can expand up to 2
to 4 liters when full. The end of the
stomach has a sphincter muscle that
closes and opens to allow the flow of
from the esophagus to the stomach.

4. Small intestine- is the long coiled 2016/10/Fotolia_73664591_Subscription_Monthly_M.jpg
connected from the stomach. If it is stretched, it is about seven meters long. It
has villi, small like finger projections that protrude in the lining of the intestinal
wall to increase the absorptive area.
There are three parts of the Small
Intestine:
 Duodenum – the upper 20 cm.
connected to the stomach
 Jejunum – is about 2.5 meters long.

 Ileum – is the longest half coiled

through the abdominal cavity
5. Large intestine or colon – is a large,
coiled tube attached to the end of the
small intestine. It is only about 1.5 meters
long, which includes the colon, rectum,
and appendix and twice as wide as the
small intestine. The last 20 or 30
centimeters of the colon are called

intestine.jpg?resize=650,400 rectum.
Steps of Digestion Process:
1. The process of digestion begins when we put a morsel of food in our
mouth.
2. The softened food is rolled into a ball called the bolus and is pushed by the
tongue into the throat.
3. Movement of the food occurs due to a wave-like contraction known as
peristalsis.
4. A sphincter known as the lower esophageal sphincter, relaxes and the
food enters the stomach.

: 0917-750-2982
5. The hydrochloric acid present in the stomach converts the food into
chyme.
6. The chyme enters the part of the small intestine known as the duodenum.
7. The bile helps in breaking down fats and the pancreatic juice breaks down
other food particles.
8. Most of the nutrients from the food are absorbed in a part of the small
intestine known as the jejunum. The food particles are further broken down
inside the jejunum.
9. The larger food particles that cannot be absorbed move through the ileo-
cecal valve and enter the large intestine or colon.
10. The colon absorbs water, manufactures minerals, and produces mucus.
This food is considered as waste formed into feces.

: 0917-750-2982
11. The waste or feces moves into the last part of the large intestine known as
the rectum.
