| Digestion | The process of breaking down food to individual components. |
| Amylase | The enzyme that breaks down starch to simple sugras |
| Fat globules | require bile salts and lipases to digest |
| Bile salt | Is a detergent that is made in liver |
| Hydrochloric acid | Helps to unfold proteins |
| Folded protein | Gets degraded by hydrochloric acid and proteases |
| emulsification | Biles salts breaking of large fat globules into many small droblets |
| proteases | enzymes that break large proteins into smaller amino acids. |
| small intestines | where the final products of digestion are absorbed and brought into the blood. |
| These are the molecules that are the final products of digestion | amino acids , glycerol , sugars and fatty acids. |
| saliva | contains amylase and his a fluid that helps swallowing |
| esophagus | long tube that connecst the mouth to stomach |
| peristaltic contractions | how food is pushed by smooth muscle cells in the digestive tract |
| chyme | The mix of stomach acid , chewed food and stomach secretions make a semisolid substance |
| Gastrin | the hormone made in the stomach and control how much acid the stomach makes |
| Ulcers | holes in the lining of stomach that form is someone has a tumor that makes too much Gastrin. |
| accessory organs that aid digestion food bever gets into these organs | pancreas and liver |
| pancreas | the organ that makes and releases many digestive enzyjmes into the first part of the small intestine called duodenum |
| duodenum | the first part of th small intestine that get acid rich stomach contents |
| villi and microvilli | these are the structure that project from the small intestine and absorb the digested food |
| small intestine | This organ helps to regain much of the liquid that we swallow and secrete |
| colon | Does not have villi and functions to compact solids. Act as a trash compactor. Has large numbers of bacteria |
| feces | The undigested food and bacteria |
| portal vein | the vein that goes into liver and has filled up withall the substances from the intestine |
| hepatic vein | the vein that leaves the liveer and sends blood to the heart |
| Liver | organ that makes proteins, bile salts, removes toxins and control blood sugar levels |
| rectum | the final part of the intestinal tract |
| anus | the opening where feces exits the body |
