The Stomach
ENZYMES are chemicals that SPEED UP the chemical break down of food in our bodies. When the food enters the stomach several things happen: The stomach acts like a cement mixer and CHURNS the food.
The Intestines
The food passes from the stomach into the SMALL INTESTINE. Here, more ENZYMES are added to help chemically break down the food and the food is ABSORBED through the walls of the small intestine. After passing through the small intestine the UNDIGESTED FOOD moves into the LARGE INTESTINE. In the large intestine WATER IS ABSORBED. At the end of the large intestine the undigested food is STORED in the RECTUM before it is removed from the body through the ANUS. The LIVER makes BILE - as this is alkaline - the small intestine works best in alkaline conditions. The PANCREAS makes enzymes to aid in the chemical break up of the food.
A villus
Each villus has a DENSE CAPILLARY NETWORK so that the food is more easily absorbed into the bloodstream.
