This document summarizes carbohydrate digestion. It explains that carbohydrates are broken down into simpler molecules through digestion in the oral cavity by salivary amylase and further in the pancreas and small intestine by pancreatic enzymes. The end products of digestion - glucose, fructose, and galactose - are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal walls, either through facilitated diffusion down a concentration gradient or active transport against a gradient using sodium-glucose transport proteins.
