explain digestion from mouth to duodenum
Answers
Answer:
The small intestine When food enters the duodenum, the pancreas releases enzymes to help break down fat, protein and carbohydrate The gall bladder releases bile, which has been produced by the liver, to help further break fats down into a form that can be absorbed by the intestines.
Answer: Organ Major Digestive Function(s)
oral cavity, salivary glands generation of saliva to lubricate masticated food; secretion of salivary enzymes; carbohydrate digestion only
stomach production of HCl; secretion of digestive enzymes; protein and lipid digestion only; secretion of gastric hormone ghrelin
pancreas secretion of lipid and protein digestive enzymes; secretion of bicarbonate to neutralize gastric acid
liver production and secretion of bile acids required for lipid digestion in small intestine
gallbladder storage and concentration of bile acids
small intestine production of disaccharidases required for carbohydrate digestion; terminal digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids; absorption of nutrients and electrolytes
large intestine (colon) storage of digestive waste; absorption of water and electrolytes
