DESCRIPTION

http://www.leslie-samuel.com - We love to eat, and I love explaining how the digestive system works. This lecture deals with the processes of ingestion, digestion, absorption and elimination, following the food from the mouth to the esophagus, stomach to the small and large intestines and out the anus. I then deal with the endocrine system and how hormones are involved in the control of the body.
