The mouth is the only part of the alimentary canal involved in ingestiom
or food entry in the body. However, most digestive functions associated with the
mouth reflect the activity of the related accessory organs, such as the teeth,
salvary glands, and tounge, because within the mouth food is chewed, and mixed
and moistened with saliva contining enzymes that begin the process of chemical digestion. The mouth also begins the propulsive process of swallowing, also during which food is carried through the pharanx and esophagus to the stomach.
The mouth and its associated acessory digestive organs are involved in mst digestive processes. The mouth ingests and, begins mechical digestion by chewing and initates propulsion by swallowing. Salivary amylase, the enzyme in syliva, starts the chemical breakdown of polysaccharides (starch and glycogen) into smaller fragments of linked glucose molecules.
In contrast to the malfunctional mouth, both the pharanx and esophagus merely severe as conduits to pass food from mouth to the stomach. Their single digestive function is food pulpulsion, acomplished by the role they play in swallowing.
Below the esophagus is the stomach a temporary storage tank where chemical breakdown of proteins begins and in which food is converted to a creamy paste called chyme. The stomach lies in the left side of the adominal cavity, nearly hidden by the the liver and diaphram. Though relitively fixed at both ( esophageal and small intestinal) ends, the stomach is quite moveable in between. It tends to lie high and run horizontaly in short, stout people ( a steer-horn-stomach0 and often elongated vertically in tall, thin people(a- J-shaped stomach)
Gastrin- causes gastric glands to increase secertory activity, most pronounced effect is on HIC secertion.
liver- holds 13% of blood supply,regulates most chemical levels in blood.
Pancreas- breaks down protein, chybohydrates and fat.
large intestine- it transports waste out of the body and obsorbs water from the waste before it leaves.
small intestine- is to help transfer and digest food.
Anus- helps get rid of un- nessesary waste.
