Where food is held for mechanical digestion
|
Oral Cavity

Positions food, mixes with saliva, pushes bolus down pharynx
|
Tongue
|
Responsible for mechanical digestion to increase surface area of food
|
Teeth
|
Produces water, mucus, amylase and bicarbonates
|
Salivary Gland
|
Lifts to block nasal passage during swallowing
|
Soft Palate
|
Lowers over trachea (glottis) to stop food from entering lungs
|
Epiglottis

|
Cardiac Sphincter
|
Secretes hydrochloric acid, pepsin, mucus and bicarbonate; churns food
|
Stomach
|
Regulates chyme release into small intestine
|
Pyloric Sphincter
|
Digests lipids, proteins and carbs, signals pancreas to release pancreatic juices
|
Duodenum
|
Produces bile to break down lipids
|
Liver
|
Stores bile
|
Gall Bladder
|
Transports bile
|
Bile Duct
|
Produces bicarbonate ions to neutralize acidic chyme, creates lipase, protease, amylase
|
Pancreas
|
2nd part of small intestine, absorbs nutrients using villi
|
Jejunum
|
3rd part of small intestine, absorption is completed using villi
|
Ileum
|
May cause appendicitis (no other role)
|
Appendix
|
1st part of large intestine
|
Cecum
|
Stores food waste, reabsorbs water from waste, uses digestive bacteria
|
