this type of tooth is responsible for tearing and shredding

cuspids

the enzyme that first chemically digests proteins

pepsin

DCT collecting duct

plays the primary role in digestion and absorbtion of nutrients

small intestine

a tooth used for cutting

incisor

the portion of the nephron that recieves filtrate from the blood

bowmans capsule

the enzymatic breakdown of food from small pieces into their monomers

chemical digestion

the tube that drains urine from nephron

after processing in stomach with gastric juices, its called

chyme

structure that stores bile
