These smooth muscles work in a coordinated, wavelike manner to move the bolus (the ball of food) from the mouth to the stomach. Peristalsis is also how materials are moved through the rest of the digestive system, including the small and large intestine. ]]> 2016-11-05 20:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135567375 Esophagus elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135567396 The esophagus is the long tube that connects the mouth with the stomach. The epiglottis, a small flap at the beginning of the esophagus, covers the trachea so that the bolus does not get into the lungs. ]]> 2016-11-05 20:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135567396 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135568309 2016-11-05 21:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135568309 3.

The stomach is where the bolus (a ball of food) is turned into chyme, and where some of the chemical digestion occurs. A mucous lining in the stomach protects the cells and muscles of the stomach wall from being burned by the extremely acidic environment in the stomach. The stomach has a pH between 1.5 and 2.5, very acidic. ]]> 2016-11-05 21:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135568838 Pepsin elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569083 Pepsinogen is a inactive enzyme secreted in the stomach' lining. When pepsinogen interacts with hydrochloric acid it become pepsin, the active form. Pepsin is a enzyme specialized in breaking down proteins, being an important factor in chemical digestion. Proteins are made out of long chains of amino acids. Pepsin breaks these chains down into polypeptides. ]]> 2016-11-05 21:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569083 Sphincters elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569505 Two sphincters control the openings to the stomach. A sphincter is a ring of muscles that can relax and contract to enable flow of liquids or solids in and out. The top sphincter of the stomach is called the esophageal sphincter, since it connects the esophagus with the stomach. The bottom sphincter is called the pyloric sphincter, and it connects the stomach with the small intestine (duodenum to be specific).]]> 2016-11-05 21:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569505 Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569768 Hydrochloric Acid is secreted from cells lining the stomach, and it is a strong acid. Hydrochloric acid kills harmful bacteria, germs, and other substances that enter the body along with the food. Besides providing protection for the body against invaders, hydrochloric acid also activates pepsinogen, turning it into pepsin.]]> 2016-11-05 21:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569768 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569864 2016-11-05 21:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569864 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569871 2016-11-05 21:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135569871 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570087 2016-11-05 21:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570087 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570107 2016-11-05 21:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570107 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570162 2016-11-05 21:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570162 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570177 2016-11-05 21:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570177 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570182 2016-11-05 21:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570182 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570221 2016-11-05 21:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570221 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570222 2016-11-05 21:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570222 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570226 2016-11-05 21:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570226 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570227 2016-11-05 21:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570227 Section 4 + 5 elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570259 2016-11-05 21:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570259 4 Small Intestine Absorption elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570344 Duodenum

The large intestine secretes mucous, which helps the food move along the digestive tract. All the chemical digestion has happened at this point. The main function of the large intestine is to absorb final vitamins (like K and D), and excess fluid.]]> 2016-11-05 21:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570675 Anus elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570697 The anus is the final part of the large intestine.

Fibre is an important part of a human's diet, and why it is important becomes apparent in the large intestine. Cellulose, the main component of plant cell walls, is unable to be digested in the human body, but it provides bulk. Once food reaches the rectum, it no longer has many absorbable nutrients left, and is known as feces. Fibre helps the feces (with contained toxins) to move through the large intestine faster, and be expelled quicker and in more comfortable manner.]]> 2016-11-05 21:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570708 Colon elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570863 The colon is the largest and longest part of the large intestine. The colon stores waste material before it is expelled from the body. The colon contains smooth muscles which, when stimulated, move the waste materials along the large intestine through peristalsis motions. In the colon water is reabsorbed into the body, and minerals, vitamins, and salts are also absorbed. ]]> 2016-11-05 22:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135570863 Gastric Acids elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135571201 The stomach secretes gastric juices which break down the food until it is a soupy liquid with nutrients easily accessible.
The three components of gastric acid secreted in the stomach are mucus, pepsin, and hydrochloric acid. Gastric acid secretion is stimulated by the hormone gastrne.

All of the small intestine is lined with villi, which increase surface area. Villi are finger-like projections off the intestinal walls, and each villi is covered in microvilli, increasing the surface area even more. The villi and microvilli absorb nutrients from the chyme, and blood capillaries and lymph vessels carry the nutrients to cells or other organs.]]> 2016-11-05 22:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135571681 Ileum elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135571682 The ileum is the final section of the small intestine.

Trypsinogen 
Erepsin
Lipase
Pancreatic Amylase
The pancreas also produces insulin, which regulates blood sugar.                                                                                                                                                                                                          ************FATS***********                                                                                                               ************************************************Carbohydrates***********************************************]]> 2016-11-05 23:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135573430 Gallbladder  elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135573436 The gallbladder is a small accessory organ that is attached to the underside of the liver. The gallbladder stores bile secreted by the pancreas when it is not being used to break down fats. When stimulated by CCK, the gallbladder released the bile back into the small intestine. The bile travels from the gallbladder to the small intestine through the bile duct, which, when blocked by gall-stones, can cause a great deal of pain.]]> 2016-11-05 23:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135573436 Liver elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135573450 The liver is a larger organ found underneath the diaphragm, which produces bile. The liver can be divided into four lobes, and it is full of blood vessels, since it helps filter toxins from the blood. When the body does not need immediate energy, the liver converts glucose into glycogen, which is a form of energy/sugar which the body can store. ]]> 2016-11-05 23:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135573450 Trypsin elisabethmaria767 https://padlet.com/elisabethmaria767/o54hng3gmp5w/wish/135576327 Trypsinogen is the inactive form of trypsin, and it is secreted by the pancreases.
