Q

Chewing food does what?

A

Chewing food makes the food particles smaller and increases the surface area of the food. This increases the contact area for the digestive enzymes. Chewing also makes is the food particles with saliva and digestive enzymes.

Q

What are pancreatic juices and bile for?

A

Pancreatic it juices and bile are added to the chyme in the duodenum to digest the carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Specialized in zymes split these micronutrients into the smallest subunits for absorption. Bile is added to emulsify lipid droplets and facilitate digestion and absorption.

A

Finger-like projections in the small intestine nine

18
Q

The G.I. tract is a ______ long tubular structure that reaches from the mouth to the anus

A

6-8m

19
Q

List the three primary digestive functions of the stomach

A

1) Stores large quantities of food and tell it can be accommodated into the intestine.
2) Mixes food with gastric secretions and hydrochloride HCI acid to break down proteins and form a homogenous, acidic, soup like liquid or paste called chyme.
Regulates emptying of chyme into small intestine by action of the pyloric sphincter.

False
