NoteworthyMechanical Digestion vs. Chemical Digestion

Ex: stomachacid

Ex: chewing

Ex: saliva

Noteworthy:Path of food:1. Mouth2. Esophagus3. Stomach4. Small Intestine5. Large Intestine6. Rectum7. Anus

Major Organs/Key PlayersEsophagus: Lined with smooth (involuntary) muscle to help send food to stomach. Wave like muscle contractions are called peristalsis.

Major Organs/Key PlayersThe Small Intestine:Absorbing nutrients

Villi: folds that increase surface area

for absorption

Major Organs/Key PlayersThe Large Intestine:Absorbing water

Major Organs/Key Playersaccessory organs help with digestion by releasing digestive enzymes and/or hormones. - Salivary glands- Pancreas- Liver- Gall bladder

DiseasesDiarrhea

Cause: -bacteria-parasite-virus

Effect: Too much waterin stool; dehydration
