How Do You Study The Physiology Of Digestion In The Human Body?
• Understand how digestion works in humans and animals. The digestion process in the body of humans is typical of all kinds of the mammal group of animals. The process of digesting food is required by virtue of the fact that food contains macromolecules, such as proteins and carbohydrates, that need to be degraded into small molecular fragments of amino acids and mono-sugars, in addition to individual fatty acids. This is a required process because the blood of humans is unable to degrade these molecules by itself. Namely, the blood of humans does not have appropriate enzymes for this process of digestion of macromolecules into small fragments. • Study the distinctiveness of the digestion process in humans. This involves mostly the degradation of three basic types of macromolecules: • One type of these macromolecules is the protein group of molecules. • The other group is the group of sugars, that are called “carbohydrates”. • The third, no less in importance, is the group of macromole
