- OATS
- The oats begins in the mouth, where it chews to break up the food particles and an enzyme called amylase in saliva begins to break down carbohydrates.Then, the food travels down the oesophagus Smooth muscles in the oesophagus push down food.
- After traveling down the oesophagus , the food enters the stomach where it is broken down by chemical. The inside wall of the stomach is made of smooth muscles that constantly contract to break down the oats. Also, an acidic solution is found in the stomach which allows pepsin, an enzyme, to digest proteins.
- After leaving the stomach, the oats travels down the small intestine . Here, nutrients from oats are absorbed. The pancreas aids in digestion by producing enzymes that digest carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The pancreas also produces hormones to regulate blood sugar.
- The liver also helps by producing bile, which breaks down fat. Excess bile is stored in the gallbladder. In the smallintestine, the inner surface is made of villi, which are fingerlike structures that help increase the surface area for quick absorption of nutrients. After nutrients are absorbed from the oats
- After the small intestine, it enters the large intestine . The colon of the large intestine absorbs water and has bacteria that aids in further digestion.. The rest of the indigestible material is moved to the rectum as feces, where it is stored until eliminated through the anus.
