liver | makes bile, stores glycogen |
gall bladder | stores bile to be released into sm. intest. |
small intestine | main organ of digestion (absorbing) |
large intestine | organ which absorbs mostly water |
esophagus | tube connecting oral cavity to stomach |
mechanical | grinding/chewing type of digestion |
chemical | digestion breaking into molecules |
diarrhea | NOT absorbing enough water from waste |
constipation | absorbing too much water from undigested waste |
bile | breaks down fat molecules |
enzymes | speed up chemical digestion |
specific gravity | measures how heavy urine is compared to water |
insulin | hormone telling cells to absorb glucose |
glucagon | hormone which tells muscles/liver to release glucose |
diabetes I | not enough insulin is produced |
diabetes II | insulin is produced, but cells cannot use it |
