Esophagus- is a muscular tube that takes food from the pharynx to the stomach; no digestion takes place here.

Cardia- The cardiac orifice is the opening of the esophagus, and the fundus is the portion above the level of this opening. Pepsin- is an enzyme whose precursor form (pepsinogen) is released by the chief cells in the stomach and that degrades food proteins into peptides. It was discovered in 1836 by Theodor Schwann who also coined its name from the Greek word pepsis, meaning digestion Chyme- Semifluid mass of partly digested food passed from the stomach into the duodenum. Appendix- Smaller structure usually attached by one end to a larger structure; a small blind extension of the colon attached to the caecum. Appendix- Smaller structure usually attached by one end to a larger structure; a small blind extension of the colon attached to the caecum. Anus- This is the end of alimentary tract through which faeces are expelled from body. It is 4mm long and is extension of rectum as it passes backwards and downwards. Pancreas- The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine system of vertebrates. It is both an endocrine gland producing several importanthormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin, as well as a digestive organ, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that assist the absorption of nutrients and the digestion in the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, andlipids in the chyme. Grinding- to reduce to powder or small fragments by friction Fundus- The bottom, or area farthest from the opening, of a hollow organ such as the stomach or uterus. Gastric Lipase- Gastric lipase along with other lipases is a water-soluble enzyme and takes active part in breaking the complex food molecules in to the simpler ones (lipids), to ease the process of digestion. Gastric lipase is manufactured by the chief cells of the fundic mucosa, which is a dome-like subdiaphragmatic portion of stomach. A gene codenamed as LIPF, which belongs to a gene family that plays an important role in the metabolism of the neutral lipids, is responsible for the existence and actions of the gastric lipase. Presence of the gastrin in the plasma works as a trigger for the secretion of this enzyme. Maltase- Sucrase, maltase, and lactase, respectively, digest the disaccharides sucrose, maltose, and lactose to monosaccharides.
