It is made up of several main organs such as the stomach, small intestines and colon; and accessory organs such as the salivary glands and the gallbladder.]]> 2016-11-03 19:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135211602 lindzapple215 https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135213321 Accessory organs of the mouth are teeth, tongue and salivary glands. The salivary glands make saliva that has enzymes that break down food and lubricate the throat. There are three salivary glands, the sub-mandibular and the sublingual glands are in the mouth and the parotid gland is in your cheeks.]]> 2016-11-03 19:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135213321 lindzapple215 https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135214660 Enzymes called amylase break down carbs in your mouth.

The esophagus is a muscular tube that squeezes the food (called a bolus) down to the stomach.]]> 2016-11-03 19:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135216875 lindzapple215 https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135217901 The stomach, like many organs of the digestive tract has muscles that hold things in and out called sphincters.]]> 2016-11-03 19:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135217901 lindzapple215 https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135219044 The stomach stirs and churns food. Protiens are broken down in the stomach by Pepsin in the stomach.

Most digestion is done here. Lipids, Carbs and Protiens all are broken down here.]]> 2016-11-03 19:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135221234 lindzapple215 https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135223108 The Jejunum is the coiled part of the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream.]]> 2016-11-03 19:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135223108 lindzapple215 https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135423048 The appendix stores colonies of symbiotic bacteria, or the bacteria that helps us stay healthy.]]> 2016-11-04 15:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135423048 lindzapple215 https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135426238 2016-11-04 15:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135426238 lindzapple215 https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135427213 The large intestine has four main parts. The first is the ascending, which goes up. The second is the transverse that goes across and the descending that goes down. Lastly there is the sigmoid that is closest to the exit.

These are put into the blood stream using facilitated diffusion (diffusion by means of a helper protein). Proteins in the small intestine are broken down and also are put into the blood stream though facilitated diffusion. Lipids are broken down into globular bunches and go into the blood stream through passive diffusion. ]]> 2016-11-07 13:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lindzapple215/science/wish/135752288
