Storyboard Text
- 4 Hours After Deglutition
- Acessory Structures Involved: Teeth, Tongue, Parotid Salivary Glands, Submandibular Salivary Glands, Sublingual Salivary Glands, epiglottis (creates vacuum to protect repiratory system from food as it is pushed into the pharynx).
- Digestion begins in the mouth. Food is mechanically digested and begins to break down with saliva. In Deglutition food is pushed to the back of the oral cavity into small morsels called bolus.
- 8 Hours After Deglution
- 2 Seconds After Deglutition
- After deglution, the boluses are slowly pushed down the esophagus by the esophageal sphincters.
- 24 Hours after Deglutition
- 6 Seconds After Deglutition
- The boluses have now reached the stomach. Stomach bile in the form of pancreatic enzymes Amylase, Lipase, Trypsin begin to digest them, but due to the processing agent tBHQ, ramen takes longer to digest than foods with more organic substances.
- Accessory Structures: Pancreas (Enzyme Production and Amylase), Liver (Stomach Bile and Blood Purification), Gallbladder (Stores Bile)
- Digested food parts are now passed through the pyloric sphincter into the small intestine where lipase is present for fat digestion.
- After working through the small intestine the waste continues through the ileocecal valve into the large intestine. Lipase is still present.
- After passing throught the large intestine the waste begins the defacation process. It goes through the Internal Anal Sphincter and passes to the Exterior Anal Sphincter to put the waste outside the body and complete the defacation process.
