New cards

the mouth & pharynx

-aids with chemical & mechanical digestion

-chemical: saliva in the mouth has enymes that moistens/binds the food together into a bolus, also dissolves chemicals so you can taste

-mechanical: teeth grind food into smaller bits

New cards

1) saliva

-mix of mucus & fluids

-moistens & binds food together into a bolus

2) how food travels from mouth —> stomach

Esophagus

-muscular waves move the food down the esophagus —> peristalsis

a layer of tissue that holds our organs in place

4)role of stomach in digestion

-has muscles that move in 3 directions —> movemnent helps to break down food

-rugae: folds in the stomach (muscles) that are present when the stomach is empty

-the stomach is acidic which aids in digestion

-mucus in the stomach: protects tissues from acid

-gastric pits: release chemicals to aid in digestion

-chief cells: release pepsinogen

-parietal cells: release HCI

-chyme: mass of partly digested food expelled by the stomach into the duodenum

5)gastric pits (in stomach)

release chemicals to aid in digestion

-pepsin: enzyme that digests protein

-HCI: acid that activates pepsin

-mucus: protects tissue

6)function of pancreas in digestion

makes digestive enzymes that break down food

-secretes enyzmes into duodenum

-alkaline (basic) neutralizes acidic chyme

7)bile/gallbladder

-bile: a yellow/green water solution that breaks down fats, formed by the liver

-gallbladder: stores bile

New cards

8)small intestine

-most food digested here

-so long: so that all food can be digested

-absorbtion of nutrients:

villi: small fingerlike projections found on SI

microvilli: further facilitate absorption of nutrients, tiny projections of plasma membrane

-3 parts of SI: 1 duodenum, 2 jejunum, 3 illium

9)large intestine

-main goal: absorption of water & some vitamins

-has haustra (bumps that slow down progression of food through intestine so that water can be absorbed)

-no digestive enzymes

-dries out indigestible food —> feces

-appendix: hangs from LI & contains good bacteria
