Understanding how your digestive system works is crucial to supporting a healthy one. Try Reflexology to support a healthy digestive system. 

The organs that make up your digestive tract include: the mouth, salivary glands, Esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine (Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum), and large intestines (appendix, cecum, colon, rectum, and anus.)

Chewed food takes approximately 36 hours, or 2-5 days, to move from the mouth through the colon. Digestion begins in the mouth by producing the digestive salivary amylase enzyme, which breaks down carbohydrates. Once the food is soft and mushy, called Bolus, the tongue pushes the Bolus back of the throat for swallowing and makes its way down into the Esophagus.

How does Your Esophagus keeps your digestion healthy

Esophagus is a flattened tube that connects from your mouth to your stomach. It takes food about 3 seconds to pass through your Esophagus. Food is mixed with pepsins and hydrochloric acid to aid in the digestion of protein, milk, and cheese. This thick processed food is called CHYME. Chyme passes from the stomach by motility. 

Motility: Chyme moves through the small and large intestines by peristalsis. Peristalsis is a wave-like muscle contraction that moves Chyme and liquids through the digestive and urinary tracts. The small intestine is an approximately 10- to 16-foot-long muscular tube divided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Each of the three parts plays a significant role in digestion and absorption. 

Small intestine is the longest part of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and is where most of your digestion occurs. Chyme is broken down into liquid form and moves through the small intestines with water. Most of the nutrients are absorbed through the lining of the small intestines into the bloodstream. Then, the circulatory or lymph system delivers the digested food and nutrients to the entire body for use or storage. 

Large intestines: The large intestine is the last part of your digestive tract. It is a muscular tube approximately six feet long divided into three sections: the cecum, the colon, and the rectum. Solid waste moves through the large intestines to turn waste into feces.

Where do gastrointestinal problems begin?

Upper GI and lower gastrointestinal problems refer to issues affecting different parts of the digestive tract. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between these two categories:

Smaller Intestines or Upper Gastrointestinal Problems: The upper gastrointestinal tract includes the parts of the digestive system located higher up in the body, closer to the mouth. Common problems of the Esophagus include heartburn, acid reflux, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), caused by acid flowing up from the stomach and irritating the lower part of the Esophagus. Also, conditions like GERD and gastritis are more common in the upper GI tract.

Large Intestine (Colon and Rectum): The large intestine absorbs water from the remaining digested material and forms stool. Lower GI problems can involve the colon and rectum, including conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and colorectal cancer, and ulcerative colitis are associated with the lower GI tract.
