The Digestive Process - University of Michigan Health System

Animated diagram of the digestive tract highlighting digestive organs from the time food enters through the mouth to elimination. Digestive system organs shown include the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, gall bladder and colon or large intestine.

This is the most dramatic explanation of the digestive system I have ever seen.

I honestly don't know how all my organs can fit within my meatbag.

i have no idea why anyone would dislike this, it is so useful, not even annoying at all.

Thanks for sharing! It's also really helpful to know the indicators of a healthy gut! They include: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools.

It just goes to show that just about everything turns to 💩

Ahhhh....This was a very calming and relaxing video that soothed my insides....

So that’s what happens to my Pizza 🍕 it arrives at Central Station 🚉 bookings and departures for luggage processing and during its journey in the brown moist muck tunnel, it transforms into a turd 💩 before finally arriving at its holiday station destination 🚽

Now I want to take my

Thank you for helping me with my science assessment :)

in short words - the process starts with right hand ends with left hands or vice versa.

Thanks for helping with my Science Assignment!!!

I really appreciate you making this video. My ex of 4 years cheated and gave me Herpes virus during our relationship and I was devastated. You've made me feel so much better and seeing all these people share their stories #DrAdigba

our digestive system is made up of a series of organs that allows our body to get the nutrients and Energy it needs from the food we eat Digestion starts in the mouth where chewing and Saliva breaks down food, so it is more easily processed by your body Once you swallow the food enters the esophagus Which is a muscular Tube that connects the Pharynx or throat to the stomach? the esophagus contracts as it moves food into the stomach a Valve called the lower esophageal [sphincter] or le s is Located just before the opening to the stomach This valve opens to let food Pass into the stomach from the esophagus And it prevents food from moving back up into the esophagus from the stomach Next is the stomach an organ with strong muscular Walls It holds the food and mixes it with acid and enzymes that continue to break the food down into a liquid or paste Almost 20 feet long the small intestine also called the small bowel is the workhorse of the digestive [system] It will continue to break down food with enzymes released by the pancreas and bile released from the liver It is made up of three segments the duodenum which continues the breakdown of food and the Jejunum and ileum Which are mainly responsible for the absorption of nutrients? Aiding the digestive process is the pancreas among its other functions the pancreas helps digestion by producing digestive enzymes and Secreting them into the duodenum the first segment of the small intestine these enzymes break down protein fats and carbohydrates The liver is another organ with many functions its main responsibilities in the digestive process are to make and secrete bile and To process and purify the blood which contains newly absorbed nutrients that are coming from the small intestine Bile has two main purposes to help absorb fats and to carry waste from the liver that cannot pass through the kidneys bile made in the liver travels to the small intestine through bile ducts if The bile isn't needed immediately it is stored in the gallbladder Which is a pear-shaped reservoir located [just] under the liver the gallbladder sends this stored bile into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of food Next along the Journey is the colon or [large] intestine It is a five to seven foot long muscular Tube that connects the small intestine to the rectum and is Responsible [for] processing waste so that defecation is easy and convenient the rectum is an eight-inch chamber that connects the colon to the anus [the] rectum receives stool from the colon [sends] signals to the brain if there is stool to be evacuated and holds stool until Evacuation can happen the last part of the digestive tract the anus consists of pelvic floor muscles and two anal Sphincters internal and external Together their jobs are to detect contents in the rectum Determine whether the contents are liquid gas or solid and then control when stool should or shouldn't be excreted from the body It's useful to understand the digestive [system], and the role it plays in your overall health and well-being Knowing where to go when conditions of the digestive system affect your health and well-being is just as important The University of Michigan health system is home to one of the largest digestive health and liver disease programs in the country providing prevention diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract and liver
