A Sweet Story... [10 Jan 2002|04:26pm] [ mood | busy ] [ music | Moonpools + Caterpillars 'Polyester' ] I need to memorize this by tomorrow... The Digestion Process being in the Oral Cavity where the teeth, tongue, saliva, mucus, hard + soft palate break down the food to create a bolus. Its then liquefied + swallowed + pushed through the esophagus by peristalsis by the cardiac sphincter. It goes to the stomach where the Hydrochloric Acid + Pancreatic Enzymes are turned into chyme. The it is pushed to the Pyloric sphincter + the duodenum (1st part of Small intestine). The Liver produces bile + its sent to the gallbladder. Absorption happens in the Jejunum through diffusion + the waste is sent to the Ileum, passes through the Cecum to the Large intestine (Ascending, Transverse, + Descending). Waste is stored in the rectum till it becomes feces + is excreted through the anus. LOVELY... 2 + I ♥ Daniele
