Organ/Structure Function
Incisors/Molars Incisors are used for cutting
foods. They are thinner than
other teeth and are shovel
shaped. The molars function is
to grind food so that it can
break down into smaller bits.
Salivary Glands The Salivary glands produce
saliva. It helps to lubricate the
mouth, protect teeth against
bacteria and helps in chemical
digestion by saliva breaking
down the food.
Esophagus The esophagus makes sure the
food you eat makes it down to
the stomach safely. By moving
food down by constricting and
contracting muscles so that it
can push the food down to the
stomach.
Stomach The stomachs role is to
separate nutrients from the
food also known as breaking
food down. It relies on bile
and gastric juices to
chemically digest the food.
Effect on Food
As the japanese ramen enters
the mouth, the ramen,
mushrooms, eggs and bbq
pork all get chopped by the
incisors. Which results in the
ramen being cut so that it can
fit in the mouth. The molars
then start mechanical digestion
by grinding the ramen,
mushrooms, eggs and bbq
pork.
While the ramen is being
grinded. The salivary glands
are hard at work producing
saliva, helping to lubricate
your mouth and the ramen.
The ramen is being chemically
digested by the saliva.
As soon as the mushed up
ramen enters the esophagus,
muscles around the esophagus
wall start constricting and
contracting to help push the
ramen down to the stomach.
This sequence takes around
6-8 seconds.
In the stomach, the grinded
ramen is at the floor of the
stomach. Gastric juices in the
stomach come and break
down the bbq pork, eggs and
chicken stock from the ramen
into amino acids called
peptides. Hydrochloric acid is
also present in gastric juices. It
helps kill dangerous microbes
in the ramen that could enter
the body. Gastric juices have
no effect on the stomach
however due to the mucin on
the stomach walls that protect

Pyloric Sphincter The pyloric sphincter allows
digested food that is in the
chyme state to enter the small
intestine. If it is not chyme the
pyloric sphincter will not
allow the food to enter.
Small Intestine The small intestine has three
different phases. Bile is
released from the gallbladder
to help digest food that is
already mixed with enzymes
from the stomach. This phase
is called duodenum. Later on,
The small intestine absorbs
nutrients from the food if the
body is lacking them. It will
not absorb nutrients it does not
need. This phase is called
jejunum. Lastly the body
absorbs the remaining bile and
vitamins for other functions.
This phase is called ileum.
Pancreas The pancreas plays various
roles. It can convert food into
energy for the body’s cells. It
produces enzymatic secretions
to assist in digestion. It also
helps to regulate your blood
sugar levels.
Gallbladder The gallbladder produces bile.
A yellowish brown enzyme
that breaks down food.
Large Intestine The large intestine is
it from gastric juices. The
ramen is in the stomach for
around 1-4 hours.
Once the ramen breaks down
into chyme, the pyloric
sphincter opens up. It will not
open if the food is not chyme.
It allows the chyme (ramen) to
enter the small intestine.
The ramen is now going
through the small intestine.
The chicken stock, eggs and
bbq pork are now being
further digested by bile. Bile is
stored in the gallbladder and
produced by the liver. Every
single ingredient in the
japanese ramen is being
absorbed for vitamins and
minerals after the digestion.
The ramen stays here for
around 4 hours.
The ramen doesn’t actually go
through the pancreas. The
pancreas releases enzymatic
secretions to the small intestine
to help digest the ramen even
more.
Ramen does not go through
this organism. Bile on the
other hand. Leaves the
gallbladder and enters the
small intestine to help digest
fats. Specifically the chicken
stock bbq pork and eggs.
By the time the ramen end up
 responsible for soaking up all
the water and sending all
waste from food to the rectum
so it can be turned into feces.
Rectum The rectum Absorbs nutrients
from the food. It also stores
the waste from food and turns
it into feces so that it can leave
the body.
Anus The anus’s function is to
escort food out of the body.
When the rectum is full, nerve
cells are sent to the brain to let
you know that “it’s time to
go”. Sofourth, the food comes
out of the anus and ends the
digestive tract.
in the large intestine, it will be
mostly water and waste. The
large intestine absorbs the
water and sends all waste from
the ramen to the rectum.
All the waste from the ramen
is then stored in the rectum.
Like the large intestine, the
rectum absorbs vitamins and
minerals. Mostly sodium. The
rest of the ramen stays in the
rectum and slowly turn into
feces.
At this point, some of the
ramen is now absorbed in the
blood and the rest is in the
rectum. Once the rectum is
full, the ramen waste is
moving down to the anus so it
can leave the body into the
toilet and eventually in the
sewers.
