17
Q

Structures in the mouth that aids digestion:

A

Teeth
- cut, tear, crush and grind food.
Salivary glands
- produce and secrete saliva into the oral cavity.

Mouth also contains
- Parotid (beneath the cheeks)
- Submaxillary (below the jaw bone)
- Sublingual (below the tongue)
- saliva moistens the
food and contains enzymes (ptyalin or salivary amylase) that begins digestion of starch into smaller polysaccharides.

18
Q

Mechanism/Phases of Swallowing

A

Buccal phase
Pharyngeal phase
Esophageal phase

19
Q

Gastric food contains

A

Proteins
Lipids

20
Q

They are produced in the stomach

A

Pepsin
*major enzyme

Mucus
*lubricates foods, converts bolus into liquid

21
Q

Small intestine absorbs

A

•80% ingested water
•Vitamins
• Minerals
•Carbohydrates
•Proteins
•Lipids

22
Q

Movement in small intestine

A

Mixing: Segmental contraction that occurs in small intestine
Secretion: Lubricate, liquefy, digest Digestion: Mechanical and chemical
Absorption: Movement from tract into circulation or lymph
Elimination: Waste products removed from body

23
Q

Liver filters outside

A

Toxins
Drugs
Alcohol
Poisons

24
Q

Types of wastes

A

Solid wastes
Metabolic wastes
-Carbon Dioxide
- Salts

25
Q

Removal of wastes
