Assalamualaikum and hello there! Thank you for clicking the link and WELCOME!
First and foremost, for those who just clicked the link without knowing what is this blog about, you guys can check our profile by scrolling this blog until bottom okay? because i dont want to repeat it all over again as we are so excited to start our post right now on this momment. (again,over excited).....
Enough with that. So we proceed with our main topic today.As you can see on our post title, it is about Anatomy and Physiology of the Normal Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT). no no no don't leave !
Its not that complicated at all. We are here to help. okay? so first what is mean by Anatomy? well Anatomy is the bodily structure of the living being like your physical appearance and your internal organs as well. From the picture below, it shows the anatomy of our digestive system. These include the mouth, tongue, pharynx and many more stated here. Now you slowly get it right? Good! (why theres no emojis provided-.-)
Then what is physiology? Mr. Google would say that physiology is the branch of biology dealing with the functions and activities of living organisms and their parts, including all physical and chemical process. Well in our simple words, Physiology is the function perform by the anatomy structure. The function of mouth, pharynx, small intestine or stomach. As simple as that :)
Then, move on to a little bit complicated part which is the Gastrointestinal tracts. open your mind okay peeps? well Gastrointestinal tracts also known as Digestive Tract. It is actually the tract that involved in our digestion process or we can say it is and organ system within humans which take in food, digest it into small pieces in order to extract the energy and nutrients. At the end, it will expels the remaining waste as feces and urine.
Here, we have provide for you guys the physiology of each of the structures involve as the digestive tracts.
Well there are several words that you might never heard of or you have heard but did not have the heart to know what it is right? well we will clear it here. So first, at the salivary glands, they mention amylase digest polysaccharide. so, Amylase is an enzyme(act as catalyst) that will breakdown carbohydrate or polysaccharides contain in the food we consume at our mouth. Next, in stomach there is pepsin, also an enzyme and HCL(hydochloric acid) acid that produce by stomach's cell to maintain its acidity. Whereas in pancrease, trypsin, chymotrypsin, amylase and lipase are the enzyme produce by pancreas.
Besides that, in liver, the biological molecules is referring to the glucose(smaller form of CARBS) and also amino acid (smaller form of protien). It also mention the bile, an alkaline fluid secreted by the liver's cell that aid in digestion. Next in small intestine, it state the peptidase, sucrases and amylase where all of them are enzyme that help to breakdown the large food molecules into smaller piece so that it wolud be much easier to be absorb to circulation,
Well well well, i guess i should stop for now right? Thank you for lending a little of your golden time here with us. Stay tune for our next post okay !!! #heartyourGIT
