22

nephrons secrete ?? which is an acid to counter alkaline

A

23
Q

Ingestion

A

take food/water into the body

24
Q

secretion

A

produce substances necessary for digestion

25
propulsion
rhythmic contractions of smooth muscle that push food along
26
digesition
break food down
27
absorption
nutrients move through walls of the intestines into blood/lymphatic vessels
28
elimination
not digestible components expelled from the body as feces
29
stomach major function
store food, digestion
30
three major sites of absorption
duodenum, jejunum, ileum
31
absorbs large amounts of water, stores and passes resulting waste, contains apendix
large intestine
32
carbohydrate digest into
simple sugar ending in ase
33
protein digest into
amino acids, -sin
34
fat digest into
fats, requires emulsification, continues with pancreatic lipase
