• stomach

  • pummels the food with muscular walls.
  • produces protease enzyme (pepsin)
  • produces hydrochloric acid to kill bacteria and give the right PH for protease enzyme to work
• gall bladder


  where bile is stored before released into small intestine
• pancreas


  produces protease, amalyse and lipase enzymes and releases these into the small instestine
• large intestine


  where excess water is absorbed from the food
• small intestine

  1. produces proteases, amalyses and lipases enzymes to complete digestion
  2. where the digested food is absorbed out into the blood
