- The Consumption of a Hamburger
- I am a Hamburger made in a fast-food restaurant. I consist of preservatives such as PFAS chemicals and I contain at least 250 calories. Inside me is a bun (carbohydrate), a meat patty (protein and fat) and a slice of cheese (protein, fat and water), onion, lettuce, tomato and beetroot (sugar, fibre and starch).
- The Consumption of a Hamburger
- The process of mechanical digestion starts in your mouth when your teeth tear and grind food into small pieces you can swallow without choking. Saliva produced in the salivary glands contains salivary amylase, which breaks down starch into sugar and mucin, which helps to soften food in the mouth. When you swallow your tongue helps move the food bolus down to the esophagus.
- The Consumption of a Hamburger
- By using its two sets of muscle fibre The esophagus transports food from the mouth to the stomach
- The Consumption of a Hamburger
- The stomach is where protein digestion begins. The acid and gastric juice mix with the food inside the stomach. In response, the stomach wall muscles contract. It takes 4 hours for the food to pass through the stomach and move to the small intestine.
- The small intestine is made up of two parts called the duodenum and the ileum. In the duodenum bile (made in the liver) is released as well as pancreatic juice (made in the pancreas). Bile makes the fat droplet smaller and the food alkaline. The pancreatic juice contains amylase which breaks down the starch into sugar; protease which breaks down the protein and lipase which down the fat into fatty acids and glycerol. In the ileum, the broken down food is mixed with intestinal juice containing protease which finishes breaking down the protein into amino acids and enzymes breaking down the sugar to glucose. The ileum has a large surface area for absorbing food
- Large intestines absorb water and salt from undigested food and dispose of any waste products left behind. Fibre is partially broken down by mucus and bacteria, which nourish the large intestinal wall cells, therefore helping keep the large intestine healthy. The rectum is a chamber that begins at the end of the large intestine, immediately following the sigmoid colon, and ends at the anus
