When it comes to processing our food and the nutrients that we get from the food, there's a simple process that it goes through, which we refer to as digestion.
00:09
So digestion begins in the mouth and then makes its way down the esophagus, which then gets us to the stomach once it gets through those two.
00:17
So as it's in the stomach, it's going to break it down through the gastric acid a bit more so that it can then get sent on through the small intestines.
00:26
So here, circling in the green, is our small intestines.
00:30
And this is where most of the nutrient absorption happens and occurs.
00:35
So now we're going to zoom in a little more with this second picture here.
00:39
So this second picture is showing us being inside the small intestine.
00:44
So we can see some of the folds that are right here in the small intestine.
00:48
But when we zoom up even more, we see kind of like these thread -like or string -like structures.
00:54
And these are going to be known as the villi.
00:57
So villi being more than one or villis is a single one...
