ABSTRACT

The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract are the mouth, stomach, and intestine and absorb food with juice of digestive tract. An enzyme, hydrochloric acid and pepsin in the juice of the stomach starts the digestion of swallowed protein. Digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats continues in the small intestine. Starch and glycogen are broken down into maltose by small intestine enzymes and large fat are broken down into fatty acid and cholesterol by bile acid secreted in the liver. Pancreatic juice and proteases enzymes secreted by the pancreas that continue the breakdown of protein into small peptide fragments and amino acids. In this research suggests that network of established digestive system in vitro may have therapeutic potential for use in the treatment of new food and medical supplies.
