Journey of Food

Peristalsis
The muscles in the wall of the canal cause rhythmic, wave-like contractions called Peristalsis. This process can be visualized as a squeezing action, forcing the food along.

Oesophagus
Food moves on to the stomach by peristalsis.
Any Digestion? No digestion

Motility in the oesophagus The canal has layers of muscles in its walls:
Circular muscles
Longitudinal muscles
![Page 6: Lesson 2 How does food move down the oesophagus?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8899/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Peristalsis When the circular muscle
contracts, the longitudinal muscle relaxes causing the
gut wall to constrict thus squeezing and pushing the food forward.
When the longitudinal muscle contracts, the circular muscle relaxes
and the gut dilates becoming wider for food to enter.

Your ideas?

Eat and drink in space?
No gravity Eating and drinking –
possible in the absence of gravity?
If yes, Why? If no, Why?

Digestion in the stomach
The stomach is a muscular bag which contracts and relaxes to mix the food.
In here: Digestion
Of only
PROTEINS

Peristalsis revisited
How does peristalsis play a role in the stomach?
Continual contractions & relaxations of stomach wall muscles result in a churning action
Physical digestion Breaks up food particles
↑ SA / V of ingested food Mixes food well with gastric juice
for efficient enzymatic action

Stomach Main function: store
food turn it into liquid (chyme) release it in small quantities at a time to the rest of the gut
Stores food temporarily for 3 to 4 hours.
![Page 23: Lesson 2 How does food move down the oesophagus?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c02b1a28abf838cd8899/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Contains gastric glands: secrete gastric juice that mixes with food to form chyme Gastric juice:
water + enzymes + hydrochloric acid pH around 2.0

Function of Hydrochloric acid in the stomachFunctions Actions
Digestion
Anti-bacterial
Neutralisation
Optimal pH
Activates the enzymes pepsin
Kills harmful bacteria ingested with food
Neutralizes the alkaline saliva from the mouth (i.e. stops the action of salivary amylase)
Lowers pH to pH 2 at which the gastric enzymes work best

Conversion of inactive form of enzymes to active form
Both enzymes are secreted are produced as inactive form – pepsinogen & prorennin
Why must both enzymes be secreted in theinactive form?
