  • Mouth -breaks up food particles
  • Pharynx- swallows the food
  • Salivary Glands- saliva moistens
    and lubricates food
  • Esophagus-muscular tube that moves food to stomach
  • Liver -breaks down and builds up many biological molecules
  • Gallbladde -stores and conrntrates bile
  • Stomach -stores and churns food pepsin digest protein
  • Pancreas -Hormones regulate blood glucose levels Bicarbonate
  • Rectum -stores and expels feces
  • Large intestin -reabsorbs some water and ions form and stores feces
  • Small intestine -complete digestion mucus protects gul wall absorb nutrients
  • Anus -opening for elimination of feces
  • Bile duct- connects gall bladder with small intestine
  • Gallbladder- store bile from liver
  • Liver- detoxifies the body, produces bile to aid fat digestion, regulates blood sugar level
  • Gallbladder -store bile from liver
  • Pancreas- secretes enzymes that break down carbohydrate protein and fats into simple sugars amino acids and fatty acid respectively
  • Stomach -churn food into chyme
  • Stomach- mix food with gastric juice containing hydrochloric acid pepsin and intrinsic factor
  • Pancreas -produce enzymes that break down carbohydrate protein and fats
  • Salivary glands- secrete saliva which contains amylase an enzyme that breaks starch into maltose
  • Salivary glands -secrete saliva which contains amylase (enzymes)
  • Small Intestines- site where most absorption occurs
  • Rectum- temporary storage area for waste material
  • Large Intestines- absorbs water and electrolyte
  • Small Intestines -absorption of nutrients
