When it comes to the digestion of a meat lovers pizza, there are many organ systems that work together to help with nutrient breakdown. For the lipid aspect of the pizza, once the pizza enters the mouth, little digestion occurs. The salivary glands release an enzyme called, lingual lipase which aides in the digestion of some triglycerides. The bolus of food then passes into the stomach where it is broken up, turning it into smaller droplets. It is then up to the gallbladder to release bile that further breaks down and emulsifies the droplets into smaller droplets. The pancreas then releases pancreatic lipase cholesterol esterase which digests the lipids and cholesterol consumed.
When it comes to lipid breakdown, the majority of breakdown occurs in the small intestine, within the mucosal lining. When lipids enter the small intestine they are further broken down monoglycerides, fatty acids, and free cholesterol, which then

The salivary glands secrete the enzyme salivary amylase, which begins to break down starch turning it into maltose. Disaccharides are not digested until it reaches the small intestine. Interestingly, there is no further breakdown of carbohydrates in the stomach and the majority of digestion occurs in the small intestine. The pancreas secretes pancreatic amylase into the small intestine to digest the remaining starch into maltose. There are finger-like protrusions called microvilli along the mucosal lining of the small intestine which break down the disaccharides into monosaccharides with the enzymes maltase, sucrase, and lactase. The now monosaccharides are then absorbed by the small intestine to enter the bloodstream. Once the monosaccharides enter the bloodstream fructose and galactose are then converted to glucose via the liver. If the glucose is for immediate use it will then travel to the cells for energy. If it is not immediately needed, it is stored in the liver and muscles for later
== Amylase is an enzyme found in our bodies, which digest starch into
The digestive system otherwise known as the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) is a long tube which runs from the mouth to the anus. It operates to break down the food we eat from large macromolecules such as starch, proteins and fats, which can’t be easily absorbed, into readily absorbable molecules such as glucose, fatty acids and amino acids. Once broken down, these molecules can cross the cells lining the small intestine, enter into the circulatory system and be transported around the body finally being used for energy, growth and repair.
Imagine you are eating a sandwich containing wheat bread, ham, lettuce, and Swiss cheese. Do you ever wonder where the nutrients go from all of the previous listed ingredients? Well, when a bite of this sandwich is taken, the mouth produces a saliva enzyme called amylase. This enzyme immediately goes to work by breaking down the carbohydrates that are in the bread. Once, the bite is completely chewed, the contents then are swallowed and go down the esophagus and begin to head towards the upper esophageal sphincter and the is involuntarily pushed towards the stomach. The next passage for the sandwich is to go through the lower esophageal sphincter; which transports the sandwich into the stomach.
It begins in the mouth by the salivary glands from the enzyme that is called amylase. The salivary amylase breaks down the complex chains of polysaccharides into disaccharides molecules into maltose. The maltose is then broken into single molecules of glucose to provide energy. The disaccharides cannot be broken down by the salivary amylase so it moves to the stomach. Nothing happens in the stomach except that the digestive juices stop the action of the salivary amylase which then the disaccharides move down to the small intestine. The pancreatic amylase which is the enzyme released by the pancreas helps break down the disaccharides. The other digestive enzymes attached to the small intestine help split the disaccharides into two monosaccharide molecules. The maltose is split into two glucose units and the sucrose breaks down into one glucose and one fructose. The carbohydrates are chemically broken down into single sugar units and are transported into the inside of intestinal cells. The monosaccharides are absorbed by the small intestine and then enter the
During digestion, the body breaks down food into smaller molecules that could then be used by the body’s cells and tissues in order to perform functions. This starts off in the mouth with the physical movements of chewing and the chemical breakdown by saliva. Enzymes in the stomach break food down further after traveling from the mouth through the esophagus. The food from here then moves into the small intestine, where pancreatic juices and enzymes dissolve proteins, carbohydrates, and fibers, and bile from the liver breaks down fats into these small molecules. Any portion of the fibers or food that were unable to be broken down are passed from the small intestine to the large intestine, which is where the digestive tract transitions into the excretory tract, then the colon and out of the rectum. Any liquids that have been stripped of their nutrients by the body proceed from the stomach to the kidneys. In the kidneys, sodium ions (Na+), uric acid, and urea are exchanged with water, which moves urinary bladder and is excreted through the
Pizza My Heart is one of the most successful pizza restaurant businesses in the Bay area. Founded in 1981, this family-owned business soon became a favorite place for the surfers and beachgoers, and grew into a chain that operates at eighteen locations in northern California. As it emphasized in the mission statement that they want the highest quality in pizza and service, Pizza My Heart is well known for its freshness and taste. Its strategy to source food with more natural and local ingredients and less processing worked when it was awarded “Best in the Silicon Valley” for being the best pizza of the year in 2006 and 2007 from tews.com.

Undigested lactose accumulates in the lumen of the small intestine because there is no mechanism for its uptake. This results in osmosis of fluid into the lumen.
Do you ever just feel like eating beef sirloin steak at home? Sometimes, you just don’t seem to feel like going out, even for food. Learning even a simple method for cooking steak will definitely come in handy for those days when you want nothing more than to eat steak without getting dressed or having to leave the house. Cooking a steak at home According to BBC Good Food Deputy Editor Natalie Hardwick, the key to cooking a steak is to pay special care and attention as you cook it.
Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins serve as a fuel for the human body. The nutrients are broken down into smaller pieces in the alimentary tract and are absorbed into the blood. This makes it possible for tissues and cells to transform the chemical energy of digestive end products into useful work. The majority of the absorbed products contain monosaccharides, glucose, monoacylglycerol, long chain of fatty...
When we eat, the body works to break down our food to this simplest form of organic molecule. Once the glucose is obtained, it is released into the bloodstream to be delivered to the cells, which is then absorbed into the cell and undergoes the process of respiration to get ATP. Most excess glucose is then stored as glycogen, mostly in the liver, so that the body tissues which need a constant glucose supply are able to get it without us having to be constantly eating.

Transferring dietary lipids (fats) - Lipids as well as lipid soluble are similar substance vitamins which are captivated meaning absorbed from the diet and are passed to the blood within the lymphatic system to a certain extent rather than by the venous drainage of the small intestine.
The exocrine function of the pancreas is that it produces enzymes that aids in the digestion of food. There are three important enzymes that are crucial in helping with digestion. The first digestive enzyme is amylase. Amylase function is to break down carbohydrates. The amylase enzyme is made in two places: the cells in the digestive tract that produces saliva and the main one specifically found in the pancreas that are called the pancreatic amylase (Marie, Joanne; Media Demand, “What Are the Functions of Amylase, Protease and Lipase Digestive Enzymes”). The amylase in the pancreas passes through the pancreatic duct to the small intestines. This amylase in the pancreas completes the process of digestion of carbohydrates. Consequently, this leads to the production of glucose that gets absorbed into the bloodstream and gets carried throughout the body. The next enzyme that aids in digestion of food is protease. While amylase breaks down carbohydrates, protease breaks down protein. Protease breaks down protein into the building block form of amino acids. The three main proteases that it produces are: pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin (Marie, Joanne; Media Demand, “What Are the Functions of Amylase, Protease and Lipase Digestive Enzymes”). Pepsin does not occur in the pancreas but it is the catalysis in starting the digestion of proteins. Trypsin and chymotrypsin are the two proteases that occur in
Can you imagine being part of someone’s meal? Neither can I, yet here I am being chewed and mixed with a juicy burger by Fred’s teeth. As Fred enjoys his meal, the first part of digestion is happening in his oral cavity. Fred’s burger is a mixture of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. As he chews and moves his food around with the help of his tongue, I can see his saliva coming from different angles and mixing with his food. There are three pairs of salivary glands, the parotids, submandibulars, and sublinguals. They secrete most (about 1L) of the saliva produced each day in an adult. (Thibodeau & Patton, 2008, pg397) Saliva contains mucus and a digestive enzyme called salivary amylase. As you can see here, the process of chewing combined with this mucus is allowing the food to break down into a small bolus. After this process I am now mixed up with the bolus and with the help of Fred’s tongue, I have began moving down into the pharynx and then down to this muscular tube called the esophagus.
