What do we eat and why?
– The main nutrients the body needs are:
carbohydrates (kolhydrater) for energy;
proteins (proteiner) for growth and repair;
fats (fetter) to store energy;
vitamins and minerals to keep the body healthy.

What is carbohydrates, proteins and fats?Carbohydrate
molecule one sugar molecule
protein molecule
one amino acid

The digestive system is really one long tube with an opening at each end.
Stretched out it is a 9m tube!
anus
mouth
But how does a 9m tube fit into a space, which is less than a metre long?

Okidoki!! Let’s go for a ride through your body!

Digestion begins in the mouth where food is broken down by the teeth. This is called mechanical breakdown. The small parts of food are mixed with saliva and swallowed.

After food is swallowed it enters the stomach, which is basically a muscular bag filled with hydrochloric acid.

the stomach
food enters from the gullet
Two things happen to food in the stomach:
the chemical breakdown of food begins; microbes are destroyed.

The stomach
Digestive enzymes are the chemicals that break large food molecules into smaller molecules. Otherwise the molecules are to big for our body to take up!

Duodenum - tolvfingertarm• Here the digested food is mixed with bile from
the gallbladder and juices from the pancreas.
The bile:• Breaks up larger fat drops to smaller droplets
The juices from the pancreas:• Neutralize the acid from the stomach• Mix the digested food with enzymes

The small intestine
It is in the small instestine the small molecules gets through the thin walls and reaches the blood vessels.
The walls are folded in so called villi (tarmludd).

The large intestine
Here in the large intestine water is sucked back into the body.
If this doesn’t work… then you get diarrhea.
Coli bacteria lives in the large intestine and help making K-vitamins.They help with the last of the digestion and then also make methane gas….
…a fart in other words!

The anus
The ex-food leaves the body through the anus.
When the poo reaches the anussignals are sent to the brain torelax the muscles and the poois pressed out.
