WHAT IS DIGESTION?

Digestiona. Breakdown ingested food to acquire

energyb. Chemical Digestion:c. Mechanical Digestion:

PROCESS DURING DIGESTION

1. Ingestion2. Secretion3. Mixing and propulsion4. Digestions: mechanical and chemical5. Absorption6. Release of Wastes

STRUCTURES USED IN CHEWING

1. Chewing by teeth2. Saliva is mixed w/ food

1. contains enzyme: salivary amylase

3. Tongue functions to swallow food

PATH TO STOMACH

1. Esophagus: muscles move food to stomach

2. Stomach: 1. HCL bath2. Enzyme: pepsin- breakdown proteins

INTESTINES

1. Small Intestine: Site of nutrient absorption into body

a) Enzymes from the pancreas are added for further breakdown starch, proteins, fats, and nucleic acid

b) Maltase, sucrase, lactase break disaccharides

c) Peptidase breaks dipeptides

2. Large Intestine: Absorption of water

ORGANS THAT HELP

Pancreas: releases enzymes to SI to break starches, proteins, fats and nucleic acids

Liver: secrets bile to break fat, stores glycogen and fat reserves
