Answer 8

My text book> swallow.

The food, now called a bolus, goes down the esophagus to the
stomach. The esophagus is just a tube with no absorption taking place. The bolus is moved down the esophagus via muscular contractions; not gravity.

In 5 or 6 seconds it's in the stomach.

In theory, we should be able to hang upside down and still swallow. Please don't try it; I didn't mean that as a recommendation.

The stomach can be thought of as an enlargement and rotation in the digestive system whose function is to mix and digest. The stomach is more complex than we might think; a lot more than just a bag of acid. In fact it has four functional divisions and several specialized layers.

After mixing in the stomach, Thanksgiving dinner is now a liquid called chyme. Upon receiving the green light, the stomach squirts a measured amount of chyme into the duodenum, the first twelve inches of the intestinal part of the digestive system.

Within 2 to 4 hours, most of that dinner should have left the stomach, depending on how many helpings you had and how much fat was in grandma's gravy.

Three digestive system organs; the pancreas, liver and gallbladder, deliver digestive juices to the duodenum to continue the process. The chyme continues through the remaining 24 feet or so of the small intestine where most absorption of nutrients and some water take place; then it’s on to the colon.

The main function of the colon, about five feet long, is to recover water from the remaining mixture, and deliver the waste products of the digestive system to the rectum for elimination.

We don't want stuff hanging around in the colon too long and we will talk about fiber later on. Fiber keeps it moving through the last stages of the digestive system.
