    This document provides information about the human digestive system and digestion process. It lists the major organs of the digestive system - mouth, stomach, small intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and large intestines. It describes the functions of each organ, including mechanical and chemical breakdown of food. The small intestines are where most digestion (98%) and absorption occurs. Nutrients are broken down into smaller components like amino acids and monosaccharides that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

    Human Nutrition Review COR - KEY

    Know all the organs of the digestive system and what they contribute to the digestive process. Each organ has a
    job. . . . Mouth – mastication,
    stomach – liquifing food,
    small intestines – digestion and absorption,
    Liver – makes Bile,
    Gall Bladder – stores Bile,
    Pancrease – Makes pancreatic juice + insulin+glucagon,
    Large intestines – absorb water and make vitamins

    Which structures in the small intestine of humans serve to increase the surface area for absorption? Villi and
    Microvilli

    Which organ secretes lipase, tyrpsin, and amylase Pancrease

    Where does digestion of protein begin Stomach

    Does water have any nutrients NO

    Which organ produces the substance that emulsifies lipids? Liver

    Where are vitamins made? Large intestines

    In humans where does chemical digestion start mouth

    Which type of digestion occurs in the mouth when an individual chews a piece of bread? Carbohydrate
    digestion

    In humans where is the last place that chemical digestion occurs  Small intestines

    The chemical digestion of proteins in humans begins in the stomach

    What are the 2 places for mechanical breakdown of our food mouth and stomach

    What keeps food from entering the trachea Epiglottis

    The breaking apart or dispersal of lipids into smaller droplets is called emulsification

    Which nutrient groups are chiefly acted upon by stomach enzymes (Pepsin)? Proteins

    Where does most digestion (98%) occur? small intestines

    The digestion of proteins starts in the stomach and is completed in the small intestines

    This part of the digestive system absorbs water, salts and makes vitamins. Large intestines

    Were in the digestive system are villi found? Small intestines

    The taking in of food is called  ingestion

    Which organ is involved in the storage of glycogen? Liver


    The chemical digestion of lipids begins in the  small intestines - doudenum

    The breakdown of food by organism so it can be absorbed is called Digestion

    peristalsis – the wave action of muscle that moves food through the digestive system

    In humans, food is moved from the mouth to the stomach as a result of - Peristalsis

    What is the main purpose of digestion?


    To break organic molecules into its basic components to be absorbed into the blood stream

    Liquidified food = Chyme

    What is the job(s) of the large intestines? Absorb water and make Vitamins

    What changes the ph of the acidic chyme to a basic solution – Pancreatic Juice – sodium bicarbonate

    What is the other job of the pancreases besides secreting digestive enzymes? (hormones) Insulin and Glycogen

    What happens to the completely digested nutrients? Absorbed into blood stream

    Protein breaks down into _Amino Acids___


    Lipids break down into Glycerol and 3 Fatty Acids
    Carbohydrates break down into Monosaccharide

    Difference between ingestion (eating) and egestion (pooping)

    Be ready or any type of questions about digestion referring to these pictures.

    EXAMPLE QUESTIONS:

    The diagram represents the digestive system of a student who has eaten a sandwich consisting of two
    slices of bread, chicken, lettuce, and mayonnaise. Where are the vitamins made from this meal? 4 – large
    intestines
      The diagrams illustrate the pathway and the time frame for the digestion of a hamburger consisting of a hot
    dog, mustard, and a bun.

    Label the following diagram: A – Mouth B- Stomach C- Pancreas D- Small intestines E –Colon F- large
    intestines G – Gall bladder

    What is this an example of? Hydrolysis
