Digestion Flow Chart, Slides of Anatomy

Download Digestion Flow Chart and more Slides Anatomy in PDF only on Docsity! Digestion Flow Chart Complete the Digestion flow chart using the following organs of digestion, the various processes that occur in them, the nutrients that are digested, and state whether it is chemical or mechanical digestion. Organs: Mouth liver Stomach pancreas small intestine large intestine esophagus rectum gall bladder salivary glands Processes: 1. Amylase (enzyme) breaks down starch into simpler sugar 2. Produces bile 3. Mucus allows food to slide down with peristalsis 4. Stores bile 5. HCL and pepsin start to break down protein into amino acids 6. Most digestion occurs here 7. Most absorption of nutrients occurs here 8. Absorption of water, vitamins and minerals 9. Produces enzymes for the digestion of fat, carbohydrates and protein 10. Waste material is compressed into solid form 11. Expulsion of solid waste occurs here. 12. Bile breaks apart fat into fatty acids here. 13. Enzymes digest fat, protein and carbohydrates here. 14. Villi absorb nutrient molecules into bloodstream for cells to use 15. Muscles churn to break apart nutrients and create a soupy mixture of mostly undigested nutrients called chyme. 16. Teeth cut, grind and tear food. Mechanical and Chemical Digestion Write CD or MD next to the organ’s process to show where chemical and mechanical digestion occurs. Identify the Nutrients Use a yellow highlighter to highlight nutrients that are ABSORBED into the bloodstream. Use a blue highlighter to highlight a nutrient that is DIGESTED in an organ.
