What are the components of the digestion system?


Oral cavity, tongue, pharynx, trachea, esophagus, liver, gall
bladder, stomach, pancreas, duodenum, colon, small
intestine, rectum, and anus
Biology - Digestion
What are the steps for lipid digestion?
When chime is present, the duodenum secretes the
hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) into the blood
CCK stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and
bile, and promotes satiety
Bile is made in the liver and emulsifies fat in the small
intestine; it’s not an enzyme
Lipase is an enzyme made in the pancreas that hydrolyzes
lipids in the small intestine
