Associated Chemical Digestion Mechanical
Organ Other Secretions
Glands (Enzyme Action) Digestion
salivary amylase breaks starch into sodium bicarbonate,
Mouth salivary glands teeth and tongue
maltose mucin and water
HCI kills bacteria, breaks
down cellulose, lowers
pH for pepsin
gastric glands water
pepsin breaks proteins into shorter peristalsis 3 times a
Stomach and pyloric
polypeptides minute mucus protects stomach
glands
gastrin is a hormone that
controls the release of
gastric juice
liver and gall
none
bladder
proteases (trypsin and chymotrypsin)
further break down polypeptides from
the stomach into shorter polypeptides
erepsins break down simple
polypeptides into amino acids bile emulsifes lipids and
pancreas
neutralizes chyme
lipase breaks down fats into fatty acid peristalsis occurs
and glycerol
regularly to mix food sodium bicarbonate
pancreatic amylase breaks down and enzymes and so neutralizes chyme
Small Intestine
starch into maltose push food against the
intestinal wall for mucus lubricates food
absorption mass and protects the
peptidases break simpler polypeptides digestive tube from
into amino acids enzymes
lipase breaks down fats into fatty
acids and glycerol
intestinal glands
maltase breaks maltose into simple
sugars, sucrase breaks
sucrose into simple sugars and lactase
breaks lactose into simple sugars
none, any muscular
action is for the
mucus to lubricate
Large Intestine mucus glands none movement of food
passageway
water is reabsorbed
