digestion Flashcards
After you take your first bite of pie, your ______唾液腺 produce ______唾液 — a mixture of ________ that help lubricate and ______ food. Your teeth work to break down the pie while your tongue mixes it with _______.
After you take your first bite of pie, your salivary glands produce saliva唾液 — a mixture of secretions that help lubricate and break down food. Your teeth work to break down the pie while your tongue mixes it with saliva.
As you swallow the bite of pie, muscles in your mouth and throat propel it to your __________, the tube that connects your throat to your stomach. Muscles in the wall of your ___________ create synchronized waves — one after another — that propel the pie into your stomach.
As you swallow the bite of pie, muscles in your mouth and throat propel it to your upper esophagus, the tube that connects your throat to your stomach. Muscles in the wall of your esophagus create synchronized waves — one after another — that propel the pie into your stomach.
___________ in your stomach lining produce __________ and enzymes, which mix with the food to form a murky semifluid or paste called ________.
digestive glands in your stomach lining produce stomach acid and enzymes, which mix with the food to form a murky semifluid or paste called chyme.
In your ________, digestion continues as chyme from the stomach mixes with a variety of digestive juices from your pancreas, liver and gallbladder:
Pancreas. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes that help break down ____, _____ ____.
Liver. The liver produces ____胆汁, a solution that helps you digest ____.
Gallbladder. The gallbladder stores bile. As fatty food enters the upper portion of your small intestine (the duodenum), the gallbladder squeezes bile into the small intestine through the bile ducts.
In your duodenum, digestion continues as chyme from the stomach mixes with a variety of digestive juices from your pancreas, liver and gallbladder:
Pancreas. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes that help break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
Liver. The liver produces bile, a solution that helps you digest fats.
Gallbladder. The gallbladder stores bile. As fatty food enters the upper portion of your small intestine (the duodenum), the gallbladder squeezes bile into the small intestine through the bile ducts.
Small intestine —> digestion and absorption (enzyme from _____) , fat digestion
pancreas (upper small intestine)- _____ acid, enzyme break down all macromolecules
____(upper small intestine) - makes _____胆汁 that ____乳化 lipids(fats), to make it easier to digest
Small intestine —> digestion and absorption (enzyme from pancreas) , fat digestion
pancreas (upper small intestine)- neutralize acid, enzyme break down all macromolecules
liver(upper small intestine) - makes bile胆汁 that emulsifies乳化 lipids(fats), to make it easier to digest

The rumen serves as a large fermentation vat in which bacteria and other microorganisms reside. These microbes are capable of breaking down feedstuffs that the cow cannot.
