Elderly male with stomach cancer, had a feeding tube inserted into his…

- - - - Solid food
        
        Lacks mechanical digestion to do so
    - - Liquids, processed, blended food
    - - Stomach and other digestive components are bypassed
        
        more frequent smaller meals
        
        Cannot digest big amounts as well, will be full much quicker
  - - - Couldn't digest lipids
        
        Lipids would digest when they reach the liver, bile would break them down
      - Couldn't digest proteins
        
        These would digest later at the jejunum of the small intestine, carboxy peptidases would digest protein
    - - Could not digest proteins
        
        Would digest in the rest of the small intestine and pancreas, Carboxy peptidases in the small intestine and Tripson, Carboxy peptidases and proteinases in the liver
      - Could not digest lipids
        
        Would digest in the Liver and gallbladder with bile, and then the pancreas with pancreatic lipases
      - Could not digest nucleic acids
        
        Nucleic acid would be digested at the pancreas, Pancreatic nucleuses would digest it
      - Could not digest bacteria
        
        Would digest at the jejunum, Ileum, Colon, and Liver
    - - Replaced by the tube
        
        Only would allow liquids or blended foods
        
        Would be easier to digest for the weaker digestive system
    - - Could not digest lipids in the bile
    - - Food is through a tube, making these inactive
        
        Only would allow liquid or blended food
  - - - Would need to take vitamin supplements
        
        Duodenum absorbs iron, B9,A, D, Glucose
- - - - Delivers food to stomach
    - - Mechanically and chemically breaks down food
        
        HCL- Breaks down carbs
        
        HCL and pepsin- break down protein
        
        HCL and gastric lipase- Break down lipds
    - - Swallowing and bridge from mouth to esophagus
    - - Duodenum
        
        Breaks down chyme
      - Jejunum
        
        Absorbs nutrients
      - Ileum
        
        Absorbs other nutrients not absorbed by the jejunum
    - - Teeth
        
        Mechanically breaks down food
      - Tongue
        
        Aides in swallowing
      - Tonsils
        
        catches bacterial debris that enters
      - Salivary glands
        
        Moistens food and mouth
        
        Salivary amylase- Breaks down carbs
        
        Salivary lipase- Breaks down lipids
    - - Cecum
        
        Absorbs waste fluid from the small intestine
      - Appendix
        
        MALT
    - - Connects Large intestine to anus
    - - Process nutrients absorbed by the intestines
        
        Bile- breaks down lipids
        
        Kupfer cells- kills bacteria
    - - Store and concentrate bile
        
        Bile-breaks down lipids
    - - Chemically breaks down nutrients
        
        Pancreatic lipases- breaks down lipids
        
        Pancrearic proteinases and tripson- break down protein
        
        Pancreatic amylases- breaks down carbs
        
        Pancreatic nucleuses- breaks down nucleic acids
  - - - Energy
    - - Stored energy
    - - Builds body tissue and fuel
    - - DNA, RNA
    - - breaks down nutrients
