Mechanical digestion
Makes use of digestive enzymes – proteins
Breaks down the food into its individual nutritional components
Digestive enzymes split individual glucose molecules off the starch molecules
Chemical digestion
The digestive tract is composed of a long tube referred to as what?
Alimentary canal
The alimentary Canal consists of what four layers?
Serosa
Muscularis externa
Submucosa
Mucosa
This is the innermost layer of the alimentary tube.
It consist of three layers of its own of epithelium, connective tissue, and smooth muscle
Mucosa
This is the thickest layer of connective tissue of the tube.
It contains glands, blood vessels, lymph Fattic vessels, and nerves
Submucosa
This part of the tube consists of two layers of smooth muscle
This layer regularly contracts and relaxes to propel food through the digestive tract
Muscularis
This is the outermost layer of the tube
It covers the portion of the digestive track within the cavity.
Serosa
The outer covering of the esophagus and rectum is called what?
Adventitia

This is the process of transporting oxygen into internal cells of the body and removing carbon dioxide from the body
It is involved in speech and smell
It is dependent upon breathing and moving air in and out of the lungs
