- Can be absorbed
- Saliva
- The secretion of saliva
- Helps to produce a bolus

- helped
- by the
muscular
contractions
of peristalsis
- Peristalsis is the
rhythmic contraction of
muscles
- Begins In the esophagus
- and continues along
the wall of the stomach
- and the rest of the
gastrointestinal tract
- and continues along
the wall of the stomach
- This initially results in the production of chyme
which when fully broken down in the small intestine
is absorbed as chyle into the lymphatic system.
- Begins In the esophagus
- Peristalsis is the
rhythmic contraction of
muscles
- by the mastication of
food by the teeth

- Most of the digestion of
food takes place in the small
intestine
- Water and some minerals are reabsorbed

- A major digestive organ is the stomach.
- Within its mucosa are millions of
