Question

DESCRIBE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING ORGANS
MOUTH
OESOPHAGUS
STOMACH
SMALL INTESTINE
LARGE INTESTINE

Answer 1

Answer:

The two main functions of the mouth are eating and speaking. The face's trigeminal nerve provides sensation (feeling) and helps us to bite, chew and swallow. Some disorders of the mouth include infections, ulcers, cancer, cleft palate, dry mouth syndrome, dental caries and speech problems such as lisping.

The oesophagus is a muscular tube. It connects your mouth to your stomach. When you swallow food, the walls of the oesophagus squeeze together (contract). This moves the food down the oesophagus to the stomach.

The core function of the human stomach is as an aid to digestion. This is an adaptive process that has had to modify itself many times in human history to adapt to changes in diet, lifestyle and microbiome.

The main functions of the small intestine are secretion and absorption. The epithelial cells of the small intestine secrete enzymes which digest chyme into the smallest particles, making them available for absorption.

The 4 major functions of the large intestine are recovery of water and electrolytes, formation and storage of faeces and fermentation of some of the indigestible food matter by bacteria. The ileocaecal valve controls the entry of material from the last part of the small intestine called the ileum.
