It is made up of a series of muscles that coordinate the movement of food and other cells that produce enzymes and hormones to aid in the breakdown of food. Along the way are three other organs that are needed for digestion: the liver, gallbladder, and the pancreas.
Carbohydrate breakdown begins in your mouth with the enzyme salivary amylase, which cuts large starch molecules into smaller pieces. Enzymatic breakdown of carbohydrates pauses in your stomach and resumes in your small bowel. Pancreatic amylase continues the digestion of complex sugars and starches.Enzymes in the wall of your small intestine complete the final digestive step by breaking two-sugar carbohydrates, or disaccharides, into single sugar molecules, or monosaccharides.here they encounter other proteases that further digest them into their component amino acids. Free amino acids pass through the lining of your small intestine and enter your bloodstream, which transports them to your body tissues. Amino acids are used to form new proteins and fuel energy production.
