Dentin
Notability pg. 52. CLF Digestion Tooth Table
- Where does the digestion of carbohydrates begin?
In the mouth
Notability pg. 53. WKST-Food and Energy
- What organ stores bile?
Gallbladder
Notability pg. 53. WKST-Food and Energy
- What digestive organ releases enzymes that help break down starches, proteins, and fats in the small intestine?
Pancreas
Notability pg. 53. WKST-Food and Energy
- A flap of tissue that seals off the windpipe, preventing food from entering it
Epiglottis
Notability pg. 53. WKST-Food and Energy
- Where does the digestion begin?
In the mouth
Notability pg. 52. CLF Digestion Tooth Table
- What process involves muscle contractions that move food through the esophagus?
Peristalsis
Notability pg. 52. CLF Digestion Tooth Table
- The process which waste is eliminated is
Ingestion
Notability pg. 54. WKST- Digeston Process Begins, And Final Digestion And Absorption
- The ____________ stores bile and releases it through a tube into the small intestine.
Villi
The digestion review movie
- About half of the different _________ that make up proteins are made inside the body.
Amino acids
The digestion review movie
- Bacteria in the ESOPHAGUS make vitamin K.
False, Large intestine
The Digestion review movie
- Digestion begins in the STOMACH.
False, mouth
Notability pg. 52. CLF Digestion Tooth Table
- Food pushesthrough the esophagus to the stomach by the waves of muscle contraction known as ABSORPTION.
False, peristalsis
Notability pg. 52. CLF Digestion Tooth Table
- What is peristalsis? Give the the names of two organs in which it occurs.
Peristalsis moves of muscle contraction. Esophagus and stomach
- Give the letter and the name of the organ in which almost all chemical Digestion takes place.
Small intestine
In the digestion review movie
- Name the structure that line organ C and describe their function.
The structure are villi. Nutrient molecules pass into cells on the surface of a villus and from there into blood vessels. The villi provides a large surface area for absorption.
The digestion review movie
- What specifically is the name of the area of organ C shown? In general, could organ C perform its function without organ B, explain.
Duodenum of the small intestines. B is the pancreas, which produces enzymes that aid in chemical Digestion. Without those enzymes, chemical digestion could not be completed, so C, the small intestine, would be unable to absorb small nutrient molecules into the bloodstream.
In the digestion review movie
- Give the name of the organ through which food is absorbed.
The small intestine
Notability pg. 52. CLF Digestion Tooth Table
- Identify organ A and give its function.
A is the liver, which produces bile and cleaning the blood.
