Diner and dessert digestive tract?

Question

You eat a burrito(your choice from Chipotle) and ice cream (your choice from ColdStone). From oral cavivty to large intestine, how are the starchs, glycogens, sugars, proteins, carbohydrates, etc. digested through the human digestive tract?

Answer 1

Amylase in your saliva starts to work right away, breaking down the starches into simpler sugars. Carbohydrates are sugars too, so they start as well. Your teeth begin the process of grinding up the food mechanically. In the stomach, both mechanical and chemical digestion takes place, your stomach produces acid which breaks down everything into its constituent parts. Protein into amino acids, carbs into sugars. Much of the sugar is absorbed while in the stomach. Then as the food exits the stomach as a soupy slop, bile is excreted and helps digest the fats. The pancreas also secretes juices into the soupy slop. The food moves through the small intestine, where most of the absorption of nutrients takes place. Your intestines are lined with vili, little finger-like things that increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients. Once the slop reaches the large intestine, this is where the water is re-absorbed and poop forms.
