Q

Mouth and Pharynx’s role in digestion

A

Mastication=chewing
saliva=libricant to help food travel GI tract, begin chemical digestion
saliva contains amylase-enzyme that breaks down starches

Q

6 Functions of the Digestive System

A

1) ingestion–food comes in
2) secretion–saliva chemicals release to break it down
3) digestion–taking what we can
4) motility–move the stuff through
5) absorption–nutrients and fluid blending into body
6) elimination–leave the body

Q

Liver and Gallbladder

A

Gallbladder delivers bile
Liver is nutrient storage facility–converts glycogen into glucose
Filters and detoxifies blood
Liver’s roles: digestive, storage, metabolic
