In addition, called the small and large bowel, or colloquially the “guts,” they constitute the greatest mass and length of the alimentary canal and, with the exception of ingestion, perform all digestive system functions.

Arrange the following parts of the digestive system in the order in which food passes through on the way from the mouth to the anus. The digestive enzymes in the gut break down the large food molecules into smaller ones that can be absorbed through the walls of the villi.

It breaks down food and absorbs nutrients into the bloodstream, which are essential for growth, energy, and bodily processes. Disorders affecting the digestive system's function can significantly impact health and well-being and elevate the risk of chronic conditions. Proper nutrition is vital for overall health.

At the mouth the large food molecules are taken into the gut - this is called ingestion. The indigestible waste products are eliminated from the body by the act of egestion (see diagram 11.1). The food that enters the mouth passes to the oesophagus, then to the stomach, small intestine, cecum, large intestine, rectum and finally undigested material exits at the anus.

The tiny finger-like projections of the villi increase the surface area for absorption. Glucose and amino acids pass directly through the wall into the blood stream by diffusion or active transport. Fatty acids and glycerol enter vessels of the lymphatic system (lacteals) that run up the centre of each villus.
