Q

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.

A

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.

Q

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.

A

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.
