HCl is one of the acids used by the stomach to break down foods aggressively. Pepsin is used to digest proteins. Chyme is more of a support chemical that helps increase enzyme surface area and activate other glands in the stomach. The stomach digest proteins.]]> 2020-11-23 18:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953590046 gnittoli0320 https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953590682 The epiglottis is a flap in the throat that prevents food from entering the trachea, windpipe, and lungs. It opens during breathing and when eating it covers the trachea. Choking occurs when the epiglottis does not close properly and food gets stuck in the trachea. ]]> 2020-11-23 18:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953590682 https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953591305 The salivary glands are located inside the mouth, and they produce saliva, which contains mostly water, but also the enzyme amylase, which is important for breaking down starches from carbohydrates into sugars, which can then easily be absorbed. The three salivary glands are the parotid gland, the sublingual gland, and the submandibular gland. The salivary glands help break down carbohydrates.]]> 2020-11-23 18:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953591305 gnittoli0320 https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953592113 The mouth, located on the face, is the first place food enters for ingestion. It’s main functions are to mechanically breakdown food by chewing, cover food in saliva to assist chemical digestion, and to form the food into a bolus, which is latin for ball, hence why the bolus of food is a sphere. Mouth uses enzymes to digest starches.]]> 2020-11-23 18:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953592113 gnittoli0320 https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953593538 A tube that connects the throat and the stomach. It is made of muscles that contract to move food to the stomach by peristalsis. Heartburn happens when the stomach acid flows back into the esophagus , which irritates the esophagus. Mucus helps food get digested and go down the esophagus correct.]]> 2020-11-23 18:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953593538 https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953596287 Bile flows from the liver into the gallbladder for digestion. The bile is used to emulsify large lipid droplets and break them into smaller ones, allowing more surface area for enzymes. The gallbladder is a small pouch that sits below the liver. The gallbladder stores this bile until needed and then sends through the bile duct to the small intestine. When the gallbladder is full, it can reach the size of a small pear, and after meals, it gets deflated. The gallbladder helps break down fats and eliminate bile.]]> 2020-11-23 18:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953596287 mprunty0615 https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953604729 The pancreas creates enzymes that are important for the digestion of foods. The pancreas and pancreatic duct transporting the enzymes are vital to the small intestine’s processes since it needs enzymes like insulin to digest food properly. Digests lipids and carbohydrates.

Lipids for example are broken into more simple fatty acids and are absorbed by villi located in the small intestine. The villi make a larger area for absorption. Absorbs all leftover nutrients.

Also can be referred to as the colon. Is one of the two intestines used in digestion, the other one is the small intestine. It absorbs water and creates vitamins to synthesis certain foods. The large intestine also transports feces to be excreted.  Absorbs the left over water and salt then gets rid of the waste product. ]]> 2020-11-23 18:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953610925 mprunty0615 https://padlet.com/mprunty0615/gszlz5vd9kjqwb5l/wish/953636671 The rectum is a small tunnel between the colon and the anus, and it’s job is storage of stool so it can notify you when you need to go poop.

It is at the end of the gastrointestinal system. It egests the waste out of the body.
