mouth liver stomach mucus

The cavity lying at the upper end of the alimentary canal, bounded on the outside by the lips and inside by the oropharynx and containing in higher vertebrates the tongue, gums, and teeth

A muscular membranous tube for food from a pharynx to the stomach;the gullet

The enlarged,saclike portion of alimentary canal, A similar digestive structure of many invertebrates Any of the four compartments into which the stomach of a ruminant is divided.

the part of the intestine that lies between the stomach and colon, consists of duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, secretes digestive enzymes, and is the chief site of the absorption of digested nutrients

The large intestine similar to the small intestine is located In the abdominal cavity. The first part is called the cecum and it is in the Lower Right Quadrant, just inside your hip bone, the next part is the ascending colon and it goes up at an angle up to about your 10th rib, then the transverse colon goes across the front of your abdomen under the ribs and above the naval (belly button) to your left side about the 10th rib, and then it goes down to just inside your other hip bone

The Liver is another important thing in the body.Your liver produces many substances and maintains the balance of many nutrients. Our body makes many waste products which can be excreted only by the liver.

bodily outgrowth or process;

a large lobulated gland of vertebrates that secretes digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagon

a membranous muscular sac in which bile from the liver is stored

Enzymes complete very, very specific jobs and do nothing else. The robot that was designed to move a car door can't put brakes on the car. The specialized robot arms just can't do the job. Enzymes are the same.

a duct by which bile passes from the liver or gallbladder to the duodenum

Mucus may be very very nasty but It helps a lot. The viscous, slippery substance that consists chiefly of mucin, water, cells, and inorganic salts and is secreted as a protective lubricant coating by cells and glands of the mucous membranes

What is the chemical digestion? It's the chemical breakdown of food into simpler compounds. Proteins are broken down to amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down to simple sugars, and fats are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol.

the process of absorbing or of being absorbed of nourishment in the small intestine compare

The Mechanical Digestion, mechanical- takes place in the mouth, because your teeth chew on the food. chemical- using chemicals to digest/ break down food. this takes place in your stomach, where gastric juice of hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and pepsin is released.

Salivary amylase is the enzyme in the saliva that breaks down starches into sugars. This is what starts the digestive process. Amylase is also made in the pancreas.

one of the minute finger-shaped processes of the mucous membrane of the small intestine that serve in the absorption of nutriment

a thin watery acid digestive fluid secreted by glands in the mucous membrane of the stomach Duodenum

The duodenum is the shortest part of the small intestine, only 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) long. It receives food from the stomach, and passes food on to the jejunum, the second section of the small intestine.

the semifluid mass of partly digested food expelled by the stomach into the duodenum
