5 Interesting functions of the digestion system

• If the body’s energy stores fall below certain points the brain sends a signal and we feel hunger.
• Pleasure and comfort that can be derived from ingesting food, thus the activation of the hypothalamus is not the only source of hunger.
• The bolus is moved toward the lower esophageal sphincter at a rate of 4 cm/s.
• An amount of chemical digestion occurs in the mouth, as saliva contains the enzyme amylase.
• The teeth are used to cut, tear, and grind chunks of food into smaller particles, thus they have an important part in the process.
