Trávicími

Trávicími refers to the digestive processes and components within an organism. It encompasses the breakdown of food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the body for energy, growth, and repair. This complex system involves a series of organs working in coordination, beginning with ingestion in the mouth.

In the mouth, mechanical digestion through chewing and chemical digestion through saliva start the process. Food then travels down the esophagus to the stomach, where strong acids and enzymes further break it down into a semi-liquid mixture called chyme. From the stomach, chyme moves into the small intestine. Here, the majority of nutrient absorption occurs with the help of enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver.

The large intestine follows, primarily responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible material. Waste products are then formed into feces and eliminated from the body. The efficiency of trávicími is crucial for overall health, influencing nutrient availability and waste removal. Disruptions in these processes can lead to various digestive disorders.
