oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, rectum
the movement of nutrients across digestive epithelium into capillaries
absorption

lymph vessel
expulsion of fecal matter from the body
defecation (pooping)
the three divisions of small intestines in order
duodenum, jejunum, ileum
where proteins are digested

pancreatic acinar/acini
the innermost layer of the digestive tract that produces mucous
mucosa
the cell produces bile
hepatocytes
this type of tooth is responsible for tearing and shredding
cuspids
the enzyme that first chemically digests proteins
pepsin
the nephron structure in which secretion takes place
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
collecting duct
after processing in stomach with gastric juices, its called
chyme
structure that stores bile
gallbladder
this cell secretes pepsiogen
chief cells
the structure responsible for elimination of urine
