dentin
In the stomach, proteins are broken down by the enzyme _____
pepsin
functions of the tongue include
manipulate or push food between teeth
senses taste and texture of food
helps form the bolus for swallowing
The structure that prevents food from entering the respiratory track when you swallow is the
epiglottis
chemical digestion begins in the
mouth (starch)
the passage that carries food between the pharynx and the stomach is the
esophagus
the stomach breaks down food into a soft, semifuluid partially digested mixture called
chyme

peristaisis
Food is mixed with digestive juices in muscle contractions called
segmentation
the projections in the mucosa of the stomach which allow for distention are called
rugae
gastric juice consist of

Which cell in the gastric glands of the stomach secrete HCl and intrinsic factor?
parietal cells
which cell in the gastric glands of the stomach secrete mucus? why?
mucous cells, for protection and lubrication

chief cells
What activates pepsinogen to pepsin?
HCl acid

intrinsic factor
the ball-like mass of mechanically digested food formed by the tongue and saliva is called the
bolus
