Q

What does the liver remover from the blood

A

The liver removes toxins from the blood

36
Q

What happens once blood is detoxified in the liver

A

The blood enters general circulation via the hepatic vein

37
Q

what is the purpose of the GI tract

A

to digest and absorb nutrients through absorption

38
Q

What are the 5 functions of the GI tract

A

Ingestion, digestion, nutrient absorption, excretion of waste products, the movement of water and enzymes

39
Q

Where does physical digestion begin

A

In the mouth

40
Q

What are used in the first stage of physical digestion

A

Your teeth and tongue

41
Q

Salivary amylase

44
Q

Where is the hard palate

A

Top of the mouth

45
Q

Where is the soft palate and what does it do

A

The middle of the top of the mouth, prevents food from entering the nasal cavity

46
Q

A

Salivary glands, liver,gallbladder,pancreas

49
Q

What does the pancreas produce that effects the stomach

A

It produces sodium bicarbonate which helps to neutralize stomach acid

Insulin and glucagon

51
Q

When is insulin produced by the pancreas

A

When blood sugar is high

52
Q

What does the liver do with insulin when blood sugar is high

The liver takes it and turns glucose into glycogen and stores it

53
Q

What does the pancreas produce when blood sugar is low

A

Glucagon

54
Q

What does glucagon tell the liver to do

A

It tells the liver to turn stored glycogen back into glucose to increase sugar in the blood stream
