    The document discusses carbohydrate metabolism in the body. It lists different types of carbohydrates including monosaccharides like glucose and fructose, disaccharides like sucrose and lactose, and polysaccharides like glycogen and starch. It then outlines the pathway of carbohydrate metabolism, noting that carbohydrates are broken down in the mouth by salivary amylase, pass through the stomach and esophagus undigested, and are further broken down in the small intestine and pancreas before being absorbed as glucose in the bloodstream.
