1. Food We Eat
The Body’s
of the
Breakdown
CARBS
• Digestion begins in the mouth via chewing and
salivary amylase
• The food mixture, known as chyme, passes
through the stomach to the small intestine
• The pancreas releases the enzyme amylase to
break down polysaccharides
• Lactase, sucrase and maltase enzymes are also
produced to break down disaccharides into
monosaccharides, or simple sugars
• These simple sugars are absorbed into the
bloodstream, where they can be used as an
energy source
FIBER
• Dietary fiber passes through the stomach,
small intestine and colon, and out of the body
• Some fiber is digested by bacteria in
the colon
• Other fiber passes through the body mostly
unchanged
FATS
• Digestion begins in the mouth where
lingual lipase breaks down short-chain lipids
into diglycerides
• The majority of fat digestion happens once it
reaches the small intestine
• The pancreas releases enzymes that break
down fats
• The liver produces bile to digest fats and
certain vitamins
PROTEIN
• Hydrochloric acid and enzymes in the stomach
break protein into smaller chains of amino acids
• These amino acids chains are joined by peptides
• The small chains of amino acids move into the
small intestine
• Microvilli in the small intestine aid in absorption of
amino acids and other nutrients
• Once absorbed, amino acids are released into the
bloodstream to support muscle maintenance, tissue
repair, immune function and hormone synthesis
SUGAR
• Digestion occurs in the mouth, stomach and small
intestine
• All forms of sugar break down into the smallest
possible sugar molecule with the help of digestive
enzymes located in the lining of the small intestine
• Once sugars are broken down into
monosaccharides, it is absorbed through the
intestine and into the blood as glucose
DAIRY
• Lactose is broken down into two individual
sugars (glucose and galactose) in the small
intestine by an enzyme called lactase
The digestive system works like a giant food processer. Its primary functions
are ingestion, secretion, mixing, movement, digestion, absorption and execretion.
