Mouth/buccal cavity -
the food is taken into the body through the mouth with the help of tongue.
Tongue-
the tongue is a fleshy muscular organ attached at the back to the floor of the buccal cavity. it mixes saliva with the food during chewing and helps in swallowing food. it has taste buds that detect different taste of food.
oesophagus or food pipe
it connects the mouth and the stomach. it runs along the neck and the chest. the powevrful muscles in oesophagus gently put food down to the stomach in a wave like action called peristalsis.
stomach -
the stomach is a thick walled bag. it is the widest part of the alimentary canal. it receives food from the food pipe at one end and opens into the small intestine at the other.
small intestine-
the small intestine is highly coiled and is about 7.5 M long. it receives secretions from the liver and the pancreas
GLANDS WHICH PROVIDE SECRETION TO SMLL INTESTINE
liver-
the liver is a reddish brown gland situated in the upper part of the abdomen on the right side. it is the largest gland in the body. it's secretes bile juices that is stored in a sack called the gall bladder. the bile plays an important role in the digestion of fat.
pancreas-
the pancreas is a large cream coloured gland located just below the stomach. the pancreatic juice at acts on carbohydrates into simpler form and changes them into simpler forms. it secretes pancreatic juices. the partially digested food now reaches the lower part of the small intestine where the intestinal juice completes the digestion of all components of the food. the carbohydrates get broken into simple sugars such as glucose into fatty acids and glycerol and proteins into amino acid.
