The document describes the digestive system and digestive process. It lists the major digestive organs and glands, including the mouth, stomach, pancreas, small intestine, and their roles. It explains that enzymes from these organs break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules like simple sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids in preparation for absorption. Key enzymes that digest starch, proteins, and fats are identified along with their sites of production and action.

24. Name of part Clue
Usually held close by sphicters, stretching of the part above
this causes the sphincters to relax
About 25 cm long part of the tract where most of the
digestion takes place
Where ingestion of food takes place
For temporary storage of faeces
Where involuntary contractions of the muscles in the
digestive tract first begin
Muscular organ where bacteria present in the ingested food
are killed
Where chyme becomes known as faeces as water is
removed
Longest part of the digestive tract
Anus
Duodenum
Mouth
Rectum
Oesophagus

25. 2b Chewing breaks large pieces of food into smaller
and smaller pieces which increases the surface area
over which enzyme action will take place
2d 1. Food is chewed, mixed with saliva, rolled into a ball and
pushed to the back of the mouth by the tongue
2. Tongue is raised towards hard palate, pushing food into
the pharynx
3. Process under voluntary control up this point, subsequent
actions are under involuntary control
4. Soft palate rises to cover entrance to nasal cavity
5. Larynx rises towards epiglottis
6. Weight of food bends epiglottis to cover entrance to
windpipe, and finally food is directed towards the
oesophagus
26. 2e
Name the movement of food described in ..................................
peristalsis
Movement of food in the
digestive tract as a whole
Movement of food in the
stomach
Brought about by muscles lining walls of
tract
Movements are involuntary
Take place in one direction
Serves to mix food with enzymes and move
it along
Slow
Brought about by muscles lining
walls of tract
Movements are involuntary
Can take place in various
directions
Also to physically break food
into smaller pieces
Vigorous at times
27. 3a
Feature which aids absorbtion Part of small intestine
Increased surface area
Reduced distance over which
nutrients must move
Food brought close to walls
Presence of a diffusion gradient
Length (6 m)
Many internal foldings
Narrow diameter
Muscular walls
Network of blood vessels to
remove absorbed substances
3b,
(i)
Villus
3b,
(ii)
To protect the intestinal cells from being digested by the
enzymes in the chyme/ to reduce abrasion by food particles / to
provide lubrication and aid movement of chyme along the tract

31. 2c
Enzyme action on proteins begins in the ________________.
_________________ break the protein polymer into shorter chains
_________________ then break the ____________________, setting
free the amino acids.
3b A: liver – produces bile salts which emulsify fats
B: pancreas
1)produced trypsin (which digests proteins), amylase
(which digest starch), lipase (which digest fats)
2)Sodium bicarbonate present in the pancreatic juice
neutralises the acid in chyme entering from the stomach
and provides suitable pH for intestinal enzymes to work
