Your digestive system is a complex group of organs that work in harmony to transform food into energy and nutrients.
- Digestion begins in the mouth. Once the food is chewed and mixed with saliva, it goes down into the esophagus, then down into the stomach, where stomach acid and special enzymes begin to digest proteins and other nutrients.
- The food bowl then passes through the small intestine, where it is divided into simple molecules and where nutrients are absorbed into the blood.
- The final stage of digestion takes place in the large intestine (also called the colon). The electrolytes and water are absorbed and the residues are compacted and then transported to the rectum.
- The stool is then stored in the rectum, until a sufficient volume triggers the receptors for evacuation. Constipation can occur when the waste in the rectum is too dry to trigger the ejection reflex. In turn, this can make the stool harder because it stays in the rectum, which causes pain , flatulence, and bloating.
