Cheeks, Lips, Tongue, Palate, Teeth, Salivary Glands, Pharynx
Mechanical & Chemical Digestion of the Mouth
Mechanical- Yes, all food groups via teeth
Chemical- Yes, Carbohydrates only via enzyme (a digestive enzyme in salvia)
Mechanical & Chemical Digestion of the Stomach
Mechanical- Yes, all food groups
- Churning; stomach has 3 layers of muscle
Chemical-
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

• Lower Sphincter allows food into stomach & keeps acid out of esophagus (if doesn’t close- heart burn)
Stomach Anatomy
Stomach layered w/ mucus & gastric pits
Stomach is Controlled by____ cells ?
G and D Cells- Used for proteins & Carbs
1- G Cells release Gastrin to stimulate digestion
2- D Cells makes somatostatin
Parietal Cells Secrete
Secrete HCL (Hydrochloric Acid)- produced naturally in the body to help digest food
What stimulates HCL production? (Hydrochloric acid)
1- Histamine 2 receptor
2- Gastrin Receptor
3- ACH Receptor (Acetylcholine) for parasympathetic stimulation through vagus nerve
Function of small intestine?
Absorb Nutrients
Small Intestine Anatomy
3 Regions
1) Duodenum
