| the purpose of digestion | breaking down food using substances such as enzymes and emulsifiers |
| what happens to food that is not digested? | It is eliminated. |
| What is the function of saliva? | contains amalyase enzyme that breaks large sugars into simple sugars |
| What is the purpose of chewing? | It physically breaks down food (mechanical digestion). |
| Enzymes | Proteins that break food down into its simplest form |
| 2 ways food is broken down for the body to use | - mechanical (chewing, grinding) chemical digestion (-enzymes) |
| Part the stomach plays in digestion | enzymes there break food down into chyme; HCl, Pepsin breakdown of protein |
| Where food is TOTALLY broken down | duodemun (1st section of Small Intestine) |
| Organs that help the small intestine break down food | - pancreas - Liver (gall bladder) |
| This happens to Nutrients as food is broken down | They are released and absorbed into the blood stream in the jejunum and ilium |
| Liver's role in digestion | Bile to emulsify fat- processes nutrients - gives nutrients back to blood stream |
| These carry nutrients to the cells in the body | Arteries and Blood Stream |
| The Function of the (colon) Large Intestine | structure that absorbs water |
| gastric juices | hydrochloric acid, water and enzymes |
| structure that moves food from the mouth to the stomach | esophagus |
| projections that increase surface area of small intestine | villi |
| Name of the acid in the Stomach | Hydrochloric Acid |
| structure that covers trachea when swallowing | epiglottis |
| Word that describes moving food along the digestive tract | Peristalsis |
| know enzymes that break down fat, carbohydrate/starch, protein | Book: page 981 :) |
