When Tanya went to a restaurant and ate hamburger. Describe how used five organ systems eat digest her hamburger.?

When Tanya ate a hamburger at the restaurant, her body utilized five organ systems to digest if effectively:

1. Digestive system:

- Tanya's mouth secret saliva contain the enzymes amylase to begin the breakdown of carbohydrates n the hamburger bun amylase breaks down complex sugars (starches) into simpler sugars (maltose) for absorption.

- The tongue assist in mixing the burger with saliva forming the first stage of digestion called the bolus.

- The bolus travels down the esophagus to the stomach through peristaltic motion(muscular contractions).

- In the stomach, the bolus is mixed with the acidic gastric juice secreted by the stomach lining. The enzyme pepsin begins to digest protein in the burger, breaking them into smaller peptides.

- The partially digested food mixture from the stomach enters the small intestine.

2.Pancreas:

- The pancreas releases digestive enzyme into the small intestines, including:

- Amylase,which further breakdowns carbohydrates.

- Proteases such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, which helps continue the digestion of proteins

- Lipase, which breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

3.Gall Bladder:

- It release bile, which helps in emulsify fats present in the hamburger.

- Bile breaks down fats into tiny droplets, enabling the enzymes lipase to work more efficiently.

4.Liver:

- The liver plays several essential function during the digestion of the hamburger. It:

- Produces bile, which aids in the digestion of fat.

- Remove waste products, including breakdown protein and toxins from the bloodstream

- Regulates the blood glucose level by storing excess glucose as glycogen when the hamburger contains carbohydrates; and later releasing glucose when needed.

5.Respiratory System:

-While not digestive organ directly involved in digestion provides the oxygen necessary for the cellular processes associated with energy productions.

- The oxygen inhaled during breathing is crucial for the cellular respiration that occurs within cells to produce energy.

- The absorbed nutrients from the hamburger provides the body with energy ,which supports the function of all the organ system ,including those mentioned above.
