Bile is created by the liver and stored in the gallbladder prior to being excreted into the small intestine. This basic environment promotes the reaction of a whole new set of enzymes that are produced by the pancreas and the small intestine lining.
Most of the nutrients your body needs for survival are absorbed from the food during this process. After the small intestine, food passes through the large intestine and eventually out of the body. Watch this activity on YouTube. In many situations it is helpful to simulate an activity before it is actually carried out. Simulation has saved a lot of human lives and provided engineers and researchers with much valuable information. Hopefully, the artificial stomach will continue this process by providing us with information about how certain medications and foods are processed by our digestive systems.
Can you think of any other examples of simulation being used by engineers as a research tool? Possible examples: Simulating car crashes with dummies that represent people, testing bridge and building designs, testing strength of rope [or other materials] before using it for rope climbing [or other purposes], testing airplane designs in wind tunnels before they are built, etc.
Kidney dialysis, pacemakers, synthetic skin, artificial joints, and prostheses are some products of biomedical engineering. Also called bioengineering. Nutrients from food are absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine. In mammals, the small intestine is composed of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. Drawing : Test students' prior knowledge of the digestive system by asking them to draw and label a simple diagram including all of the major digestive organs in sequence.
If necessary, allow them to use their textbooks or other source of information for help. If more digestive system background is needed, review material in the Digestive System lesson. Disscussion : Lead a classroom discussion about the importance of using simulation to do experiments rather than performing tests on humans. On the board, make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of using simulation. Artificial Organ Design : Have students draw their own design for a machine that simulates one of the major organs in the human digestive system.
Remind student to label areas in which a distinguishing organ characteristic is simulated for example, a simulated stomach might include an apparatus that mixes food with acid and enzymes. Have students use the internet to find several examples of simulation being used to perform experiments, and present their coolest finding to the class. Accessed December 20, Eisenberg, Anne.

World's First Artificial Stomach. Published November 16, Health Updates, India. Mandelbaum, Robb. Model Stomach Takes Digestion Out of the Body : Why food engineers, pharmaceutical companies, and organic farmers are lining up for the artificial organ.
Published December Thus, construction and analysis of stomach digestion occurs during one lab period. The digestive tract is a single long tube that functions to move nutrients, water, and electrolytes from the external to the internal environment of an animal. Electrolytes are substances that ionize in water such as sodium and potassium and are essential for homeostasis. The digestive tract is often associated with glands that aid in the process of digestion, such as the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas.
Ingested materials are in the form of simple and complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The digestive system produces enzymes and bile salts that break food down into amino acids, simple sugars, and fatty acids. These tiny components of food are nutrients that can be actively or passively absorbed through the intestinal epithelium into the body.
Once in the body, the nutrients are transported via the circulatory system into cells and used for cellular metabolism or stored for future use. Chewing in the mouth and peristaltic churning in the stomach or gizzard in many animals involves a mechanical digestion of food into much smaller particles. Bile, secreted by the liver, coats globs of fats and mechanically reduces the fats into small globules and tiny droplets. The breakdown of large bulky foods into microscopic particles increases the surface area available for chemical digestion.
Decomposition of macromolecules by enzymes is the principal means of chemical digestion. The stomach is an expanded portion of the digestive tract. Although there are variations, essentially a stomach is defined as an organ that produces gastric juices, particularly pepsinogen pepsin in inactive form and hydrochloric acid.
Since pepsin is a protease, the stomach begins protein digestion. Chemical digestion begins in the mouth and stomach but occurs primarily in the small intestine. Amino acids and monosaccharides are absorbed through the small intestine and enter the capillaries associated there. These digested nutrients are transported by the hepatic portal system to the liver, processed, and eventually released again into the blood supply.
Fats are not absorbed by this route, however. Once fats have been digested into monoglycerides and fatty acids, they are absorbed into the epithelial cells that line the small intestine. Inside these cells, the lipid components are reconverted into triglycerides and combined with cholesterol.
The reconstituted fats are transported into the lymph vessels closely associated with the intestinal wall and eventually absorbed into the vascular venous system. Bile salts are reabsorbed through the intestine and returned to the liver for recycling.
Label four zippered plastic bags with a permanent marker as shown in Table 1. Line four mL beakers with one each of the plastic bags. Follow the chart in Table 1 to fill the bag-lined beakers with the proper solutions. Use the graduated cylinders to measure the pepsin and HCl solutions into the bags. Do not add the sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3 to the artificial duodenum yet. The foods I usually test are steak or stew meat, cooked egg white, broccoli, and apple, all cut on a cutting board into approximately 1-cm pieces with a knife or razor blade.
Make the food pieces as close to the same size as possible. The broccoli can be broken or cut into a piece that includes the floret and part of its stalk. Assay Tools.
