You need to know how your digestive system works

    Hello healthy friends, see you again at my place. This video will show you, "How does the human digestive system work?".Healthy friends, we eat food every day. And we drink too. Do you know a healthy friend? How does our body process these foods? Or how does our digestive system work? was What is the process before it is absorbed by our body?

You need to know how your digestive system works

    This digestive system actually helps break down food from large to smaller sizes. And it all affects multiple organs in our body.The first digestive tract is the mouth. If there is no mouth, a hole must be made here. Or if your mouth doesn't work properly.

    Inside the mouth is what is called the oral cavity, and inside it are what are called teeth. Adults have 32 human teeth. So there are incisors that are in front. When you smile, your teeth fall out first. Then there is what is called the canine tooth.

    The incisors serve to cut incoming food. Therefore, when eating, bite the incisors early. Then there are the canines, there are four of them. The name canine tooth comes from the fact that its use is to tear food apart. And usually used for tearing meat. Then there are molars. And this type of molar is split again. Some are called premolars, others are called molars. Some people usually have uneven molar growth.

    So there is something that grows forward leaning, or what we call impaction.But I won't go into that further. The function of teeth is to chew food. Or the process of mechanically digesting food, called mastication. These teeth are then supported by the tongue. The tongue is responsible for stirring food in the mouth. Without a tongue, we would have a hard time chewing our food properly.

    The tongue is therefore responsible for arranging food so that the teeth can function properly. In addition, there are also salivary glands. These salivary glands produce saliva, or what we call saliva. Or cool language saliva. And that saliva contains enzymes. The name of the enzyme is amylase enzyme.

    Therefore, this enzyme helps convert starch into maltose or glucose. If you don't believe me, you can try. The test method is simple, just chew a spoonful of rice for about 3 to 5 minutes. Since the enzymes are working in the mouth, the taste of the rice will eventually become sweet. Eventually, after chewing the food with the help of the tongue pushing the food backwards, the food enters the esophagus or what we call the esophagus. This esophagus thus acts as a tube that connects the mouth to the stomach.

    The esophagus has a movement called peristalsis. The esophagus is made up of oval circular or circular muscles. Its purpose is to push food towards the stomach. Then move on to the next organ, the stomach. The stomach is also known as a ventricle or sac-like shape. So this organ is shaped like a big bag, on the left side, divided into three parts. The upper part associated with the esophagus or esophagus is called the cardia. After the cardia is the fundus. The lower part that connects to the duodenum is called the pylorus.

    The process of mixing food takes place in the stomach. So food mixes with stomach acid. And finally there is also the process. That's where enzymes come into play. In the stomach is gastric acid, or what we call hydrochloric acid. This hydrochloric acid therefore helps kill the bacteria that invade them.

    Therefore, this acidic nature can kill invading bacteria and ultimately protect our body and digestion from invading bacteria.So enzymes can work properly with this acid as well. So there is an enzyme called the pepsin enzyme that is responsible for converting proteins into peptones. Then there is the renin enzyme that converts casein to casein. This is the protein in milk. Then there are enzymes called lipase enzymes. This enzyme is responsible for converting fats into fatty acids.

    So it is decomposed into simpler ones for further processing. Food materials that are processed in the stomach are called chyme. The chyme from the stomach then enters the small intestine through the pylorus. The lower part of the stomach is called the pylorus. Then the previously leaked chyme entered the small intestine. The small intestine is divided into three parts. Thus, the small intestine, which has a tortuous shape, is divided into three parts. That is, duodenum or duodenum. Why is it called duodenum? The length when lined up is about 12 fingers. This is about 25 cm. Then proceed to the empty intestine or jejunum and then to the absorptive intestine or ileum.

    This is where the process of absorbing the essence of food takes place with the help of enzymes or juices produced by multiple organs.First from the gallbladder. This gallbladder thus produces bile, which is used to digest fats. So, bile is produced in the liver and distributed to the gallbladder, bile ducts, and duodenum to aid in the digestion of fats. The pancreatic organ produces the enzyme and hormone insulin.

    This insulin hormone plays an important role in maintaining blood sugar levels. This insulin is therefore used to transport sugars into the cells so that blood sugar levels remain stable or do not rise too high.It then proceeds to the intestinal fluids. Therefore, the intestine itself can produce several types of enzymes. Now read on.

    The first enzyme is sucrase, which speeds up the process of breaking down sucrose into glucose and fructose. Maltase, in turn, helps speed up the process of breaking down maltose into glucose molecules.Lactase speeds up the process of breaking down lactose into glucose and galactose. Then there are things called peptidase enzymes that help speed up the process of breaking down polypeptides into amino acids.

    These enzymes break down more complex molecules into simpler molecules for absorption. The remnants of the small intestine then enter the large or so-called large intestine. The rest of the food from the small intestine then enters the large intestine along with water and minerals.The water, minerals and leftover food that the body still needs are quickly absorbed from the large intestine. So, looking here, the shape of the colon looks like this.

    Therefore, this large intestine also has a movement called peristalsis. Therefore, it rises first from the ascending colon, then from the transverse colon, then from the descending colon. It is then discharged into the rectum and finally through the anus. The final digestive system is therefore called the anus or rectum. So, this is more or less a description of how the human digestive system process begins with the formation of feces through the mouth and is excreted through the rectum or anus.

    How long does it usually take to throw it away? Normally, or ideally, you need to go to the bathroom or defecate every day. What happens if you keep dirt and leftovers in your colon for a long time? It's like keeping trash at home for a long time. Eventually, the bacteria in the large intestine become devastated, and their numbers increase and infect their own bodies, causing disease. The above is a brief description of the human digestive system. I used simple words, hopefully this short video will help you understand.
