describe the function of stomach and liver of humans in digestion
Answers
The Function of stomach of human in digestion are:
The stomach is a hollow organ, or "container," that holds food while it is being mixed with enzymes that continue the process of breaking down food into a usable form. Cells in the lining of the stomach secrete a strong acid and powerful enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown process. When the contents of the stomach are sufficiently processed, they are released into the small intestine.
The function of liver in human :
The liver has multiple functions, but its main function within the digestive system is to process the nutrients absorbed from the small intestine. Bile from the liver secreted into the small intestine also plays an important role in digesting fat. In addition, the liver is the body's chemical "factory." It takes the raw materials absorbed by the intestine and makes all the various chemicals the body needs to function. The liver also detoxifies potentially harmful chemicals. It breaks down and secretes many drugs.
Function of stomach:-
It secretes gastic juice which contains HCl,Mucus and Pepsin. HCl makes the food acidic,Mucus protects the stomach's wall and Pepsin breaks the protein present in the food.
(NOTE:-Pepsin works on acidic food only.)
Functions of liver:-
Liver secretes bile juice which makes the food basic and also emulsify the fats present in the food.
