Food and digestion
Description
With energetic graphics and simple experiments, this program illustrates the entire process of digestion in human anatomy. An outline of food types and how they nourish the body begins the video, followed by a step-by-step guide through the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and large and small intestines. The processes of the liver, pancreas, colon, and rectum are also described. Distinguishing between chemical and mechanical digestion-and reinforcing specific principles associated with each-the program uses demonstrations with everyday materials to make key concepts entertaining and easy to understand.
