Digestive System A. - breaks food down into small molecules that can be absorbed by the blood food is chewed, mixed and churned chemical reactions break down food. B. 1. Type of that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction in your body. 2. Many enzymes are involved in the digestion of,, and. C. Organs 1. - food does not pass through them. a) Include the tongue, teeth, salivary glands, liver, gall bladder and pancreas.

Digestion 2. Digestive tract a) - Here, your tongue, teeth, and saliva change food into a soft mass. b) - muscular tube moves food to the stomach using peristalsis, or waves of muscle contractions. c) - Here, food is digested mechanically by peristalsis and chemically by digestive solutions with the help of enzymes. 1) Food becomes a thin, watery liquid called. d) - Villi increase the surface area to help absorption. Blood transports the absorbed nutrients to cells. e) - Absorbs water from undigested chyme. 1) Peristalsis slows down so chyme can be in the large intestine as long as three days. 2) The rectum and anus control the release of solid wastes from the body.

Digestion D. Describe step by step what happens to an apple as it is digested in your body. In the mouth, the tongue and teeth begin to break the apple down into smaller particles. Saliva begins chemical digestion, breakingdown starch into sugar. The esophagus moves the apple particles into the stomach. In the stomach, food mixed mechanically by peristalsis. I also broken down by acids with the help of enzymes and changed into chyme. The chyme flows into the small intestine, where it is further digested chemically. Nutrients are absorbed by the villi into the blood vessels, and then transported to all the cells of the body. The remaining undigested materials move into the large intestine, where water is absorbed from it and it becomes more solid. Finally, the rectum and anus control the release of the remaining solid waste.
