synthesis
30
what are the steps of getting and using food
ingest digest absorb eliminate
31
what is ingest
taking in food
32
what is digest mechanical and chemical digestions diffrences
mechanical is physical digestions and chemical is breaking food down with chemicals
33
what is eliminate
undigested materials flushed out of body
34
whats an example of mechanical digestion in the mouth
teeth
35
what an example of chemical digestion in the mouth
amylase from saliva breaking down carbs
36
what do the salvitary glands produce
amylase
37
what is mucus
protects soft lining of digestive system and lubricates food
38
what are buffers
neutralize acid
39
what is epiglottis
flap of cartilage that closes the trachea
40
what is perstalilis
muscle contractions to move along food
41
what is the overall function of mouth
break up food, digest starch, kill germs, moisten food
42
how does the stomach disinfect food
hydrochloric acid kills bacteria
43
how does stomach allow food storage
it stretchs
44
how does stomach digest proteins
with pepsin
45
where does pepsin come from
the stomach
46
what is the overall function of stomach
kills germs, break up food, digest proteins, store food
47
how does the small intestine digest carbohydrates
amylase
48
how does the small intestine digest proteins
trypsin and chimotrypsin
49
how does the smallintestine diegst lipids and fats
bile and lipase
50
what is absorption
nutrients move into body cells by diffusion
51
what is active transport
movment of molecules across cell membranes with the help of an enzyme
52
how does absorbtion go through small inestine
villi and micro villi stretch it out
53
whats the overall fucntion of the small intestine
break down food, absorb nutrients
54
what protein-digesting enzymes does the pancreas produce
trypsin and chimo trypsin

bile
59
what does the gall bladder store
bile
60
what is the overall fucntion of the liver
produce bile stroed in gall bladder, break up fats
61

re absorb WATER
62
what happens if not enough water is reabsorbed by the large intestine
diarrhea
63
what happens if too much water re absorbed
