Ever wondered how that delicious pizza turns into energy for your body? The process of digestion and absorption is a fascinating journey that transforms complex food into simple molecules. This complex process involves multiple organs and enzymes working together. In the NEET Biology exam, this topic carries approximately 3 to 4 percent weightage, typically appearing as 1 to 2 questions. Understanding the digestive system is crucial not just for your exam, but also for appreciating how your body functions every day. The alimentary canal is a continuous muscular tube that runs from the mouth to the anus. It consists of several specialized regions, each with unique functions. The mouth is where mechanical breakdown begins through chewing and mixing with saliva. The esophagus transports food to the stomach through rhythmic contractions called peristalsis. In the stomach, food is mixed with gastric juices containing hydrochloric acid and enzymes for protein digestion. The small intestine is where most nutrient absorption occurs, aided by its large surface area of villi and microvilli. Finally, the large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes, forming feces for elimination. Digestive enzymes are specialized proteins that catalyze the breakdown of complex food molecules into simpler forms that can be absorbed by the body. Amylase, found in saliva and pancreatic juice, breaks down complex carbohydrates like starch into simpler sugars such as glucose. Pepsin, activated by stomach acid, begins protein digestion by breaking peptide bonds. Trypsin, secreted by the pancreas, continues protein digestion in the small intestine. Lipase enzymes break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. These enzymatic reactions are essential for proper nutrient absorption and utilization. For the NEET exam, remember the specific location and substrate for each enzyme, as well as the products they form.
