bio
chemical digestion
Enzymes break down food into smaller molecules.
physical/mechanical digestion
the process of breaking food into smaller pieces
pancreas
Produce enzymes. (amylase.protease, lipase)
release enzymes into the stomach
Small intestine
Two main functions
Mechanical and chemical digestion
Absorb nutrients.
Deudoneum, jejunum, ileum
Cell lining absorbs nutrients and transports to the circulatory system
Large intestine
anus, rectum, colon
Absorb water, mineral, and vitamin
Oesophagus
Muscular tube which moves ingested food to the stomach using peristalsis (ingestion)
Oral cavity
site of ingestion
mechanical digestion(teeth)
chemical digestion(enzyme)
Enzymes are amylase and lipase
Amylase
Break down carb
Protease
Break down protein
Liplase
Break down lipids
Liver
Produce bile
Stomach
churning(muscular movement to mix food)
Protease enzyme(pepsin) secreted by the stomach to start protein synthesis
Chyme(partially undigested food)
Digestive juice
Ingestion
Food getting consumed
Digestion
Food getting broken down
Absorption
Nutrients getting drained
Egestion
Waste getting removed
