- - - - digestive juices: saliva
      - food particles broken down: starches or any type of carbohydrate
      - movement: chewing
      - the digestive process starts here
        
        Food starts to move through your GI tract when you eat. When you swallow, your tongue pushes the food into your throat.
        
        A small flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, folds over your windpipe to prevent choking and the food passes into your esophagus.
    - - peristalsis
      - small intestine digestive juice
      - breaks down
        
        proteins
        
        carbohydrates
        
        starches
      - three parts to it
        
        jejunum
        
        ileum
        
        duodenum
      - the fourth process of the digestive system
        
        The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion.
        
        The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream.
        
        As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine
    - - peristalsis
      - breaks down bacteria in the large intestine
      - also breaks down food
      - includes
        
        cecum
        
        is the first part of the large intestine
        
        colon
        
        is the middle of the large intestine
        
        appendix
        
        is a finger shaped pouch attached to the cecum
        
        rectum
        
        is the end of the large intestine
        
        last part of the digestive system
        
        The lower end of your large intestine, the rectum, stores stool until it pushes stool out of your anus during a bowel movement.
      - fifth process of the digestive system
        
        Waste products from the digestive process include undigested parts of food, fluid, and older cells from the lining of your GI tract.
        
        The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.
    - - upper muscle in stomach relaxes to let food enter
      - Lower muscles mix food with digestive juice
      - stomach acid
      - digestive juice
      - breaks down proteins
      - third process of the digestive system
        
        After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and liquid with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine.
        
        chyme is a thick liquid of partially digested food and digestive juices made in your stomach
    - - bile
      - breaks down fats
    - - movement: peristalsis
        
        means the movement of organ walls in the GI tract
      - second of the digestion process
        
        Once you begin swallowing, the process becomes automatic. Your brain signals the muscles of the esophagus and peristalsis begins.
    - - pancreatic juice
      - breaks down
        
        fats
        
        proteins
        
        carbohydrates
  - - - breaks into amino acids
        
        amino acids are the building blocks of proteins
    - - breaks down into fatty acids and glycerol
    - - breaks into simple sugars
  - - - then produces enzymes called lactase, sucrase and maltase. the monosaccharides are single sugars that are absorbed into the intestine
    - - the chyme enters the beginning portion of the small intestine.
    - - in response to the chyme being in the small intestine the pancreas releases the enzyme pancreatic amylase
    - - breaks down starches
    - - breaks down fats
    - - trypsin
      - chymotrypsin
      - pepsin
    - - they secrete saliva, which helps to moisten the food. the food is chewed while the glands also release the enzyme salivary amylase
    - - the mixture enters and goes to the stomach where it meets the chyme
    - - breaks down disaccharides into monosaccharides
