Why do we feel drowsy after eating
heartily? Because, while the stomach is
in action, a great proportion of the blood
is drawn toward it, and as the blood is
withdrawn from other parts of the body,
they lall into u state of langor.
Why does the milky or nutritious mat
ter separate from the innutritious, upon
admixture with bile? Because the bile
contains an oily matter which repels the
watery milk OF nutrition. The pancre-
attic juice also enters through the same
duct with bile. But its precise use is
not understood. 1t is fluid, much like
the salivary secretion OF the glands of
the mouth.
What becomes OF the nutrition when
it has entered the vessels of the circula-
ton? 1t is sent through large vein into
the heart, entering that organ OH the
right side, from Which the heart propels
it into the lungs, mixed venous blood,
and the venous or blue blood is sent
into the lungs, taking with it the milk,
the formation of which we have traced.
How is food digested in the stomach ?
1t enters the stomach in the form OF
paste, produced by the action of the
mouth; and directly the food enters, the
gastric juice, which is formed by glands
embedded in the coats OF the stomach,
trickles down it's sides. This is more
powerful solvent than the saivary juice !;
it is like the same kind Of fluid, only
much stronger, and it soon turns the
food from rough and crude paste into a
greyish cream (chyme). The cream is
passed toward the d0Or which leads out
ward from the stomach (pylorous); but
if, in the midst of the cream, there are
any undissolved particles of food, it
closes upon them, and they return again
to the stomach to be further changed.
How is the nutrition taken away from
theSDilious residue? The muscular
threads or bands, as we figuratiyely call
them), are Called the alimentary canal
or bowels. This canal is some thirty
feet in. length, and is folded in various
layers across the abdomen, and tied to
the edge of a sort of apron, which is
gathered up and fastened to the back
bone. All along this alimentary canal
those muscular hands are pushing the
digested mass along. But on the coat or
surface of the canal there are millions Of
little vessels called lacteals, which look
for the minute globules OF milk as they
pass and absorb them. There is an i'm
mense number of these little vessels, all
busiiy at work picking UP food for the
system
