Q

Control center of the cell

18
Q

Process of breaking down food into smaller nutrients

19
Q

Acts as catalyst which speed/slow reaction

20
Q

Carbohydrates begins digestion in…

21
Q

What is the enzymes found in the mouth?

A

alpha salivary amylase

22
Q

Also known as pharynx, transfers food from the mouth to the esophagus and warms, moistens, and filters air before food is moved into the trachea

23
Q

the esophagus us a long and thin muscular tube extending from the pharynx to the stomach

24
Q

zone of high pressure

A

lower esophageal sphincter

25
Sac-like organ with tough muscular walls.
stomach
26
in small intestine has a protrusion that absorbs nutrients
microvilli
27
absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream
Small intestine
28
secretes enzymes and hormones into the small intestine, which break down protein, fat, and carbohydrates from food
pancreas
29
produces and secretes bile, site of biotransformation
liver
30
what is the hormone found in gallbladder
cholecystokinin
31
Pear-shaped reservoir located just under the liver
gallbladder
32
Normal color of urine and feces
yellow
33
absorption of water and vitamins
large intestine
34
formation of fecal
large intestine
35
receives stool from the colon and holds the stool until defacation
rectum
36
end of the digestive tract which consist of the pelvic floor muscles and the two anal sphincter
anus
37
breakdown food into smaller nutrient that can be used in the cell. begins in mouth with saliva. enzymes needed are in the equilibrium
chemical digestion
38
starts in mouth as it chews
mechanical digestion
39
mechanical digestion: teeth, tongue, palates
mouth
40
mechanical digestion: peristalsis
esophagus
41
mechanical digestion: muscular churning action
stomach
42
mechanical digestion: bile and peristalsis
Small Intestine
