Name the components of digested food
Answers
Answer:
consists of digestive tract and associated organs like salivary glands, liver and pancreas.
Explanation:
The digestive tract in a mammal starts with mouth and ends in anus.
The tract is serially divided in:
Oral cavity
Pharynx
Oesophagus
Stomach
Small Intestine
Large Intestine.
There are teeth and tongue inside oral cavity. This continues in oesophagus through a common passage (for both air and food) called pharynx.
Stomach is divided in fundus, corpus and pylorus.
Small intestine is divided in duodenum, jejunum, ileum.
Large intestine is divided in caecum, colon and rectums
There are three pair of salivary glands: sublingual, submaxillary and parotid which secrete saliva, an enzymatic lubricating fluid in oral cavity.
Liver juice is stored in a sac called Gall Bladder and released in duodenum. The juice is called bile, which is nonenzymatic but most important for fat digestion.
Pancreas also secretes its enzymatic juice in duodenum.
