Mouth
Stomach digestion
gastric juice= gastrin, pepsinogens,
hydrochloric acid = proteins
Gastric juices
gastrin, pepsinogens,
hydrochloric acid
gastrin, pepsinogens,
hydrochloric acid break down
Proteins
PANCREAS digestion
= pancreatic amylase, lipase and
protease = starches, lipids & proteins
Pancreas via common bile duct
= pancreatic amylase, lipase and
protease = starches, lipids & proteins
pancreatic amylase, lipase and
protease break down
starches, lipids & proteins
LV/GB digestion
bile salts = emulsification of fats for
increased digestion
Bile salts
emulsification of fats for
increased digestion
Small intestine sections
